Summarize your bug Since season 7, the 'a' key often fails to register. It feels similar to the movement bug from BF V because of Origin overlay, but only with the 'a' key for me. The issue only began with season 7 and I didn't have any issues previously. It occurs whether I'm running around as infantry, or driving a vehicle. To get it to register again, I have to let go of the 'a' key and press it again. I don't believe my keyboard is the issue as I don't have this issue on other games (including other BF games) or when working on documents.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Unsure. Have to play the game and it occurs randomly.
What happens when the bug occurs? The 'a' key fails to register and the game player continues to move in the direction that the other keys are being pressed in (i.e. if 'w' and 'a' are pressed, it only goes straight forward rather than forward-left).
What should be happening instead? Move forward-left

  • @jmqasvioyu I have a similar issue but it’s with the R key. It was an issue a couple of seasons back but was fixed. S7 seems to have brought back keyboard dead key issues. Yay updates!
