Character movement freezes when reverse-strafing and charging heavy magic attack

  • What is your character name in New World: Immotay

  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced:

• Strafe either way (left or right) by pressing A/D while aiming at a fixed direction
• When you are at full speed, press the opposite strafe key
• When the “braking” animation starts, hold LMB to start charging a heavy attack
• When attack goes off, you’ll be locked in place and you’ll only be able to move again once you dodge.

This hasn’t happened before today’s patch, I assume it was a collateral effect due to the attempt of fixing the frozen legs animation bug. I have only tested this with the life staff so I cannot confirm if this happens with the Ice Gauntlet/Fire Staff.

It apparently doesn’t happen with melee weapons since you can’t move while charging an attack with those.
