Heya!

Thank you for reporting this movement issue and for trying multiple different techniques.
To confirm your character is running diagonally to the right all the time?

Could you tell us a bit about the last time you logged in before this incident? Anything that stuck out, tried anything new in Aeternum?

Hey so this resolved itself overnight. I guess the long logout period may have had some effect with resetting this.

I can recall I was in Windsward right next to the statue near the Trading Post. I dont recall having auto run on, but when I logged in my character immediately started moving in that direction.
My movement keys were inverted as such that if I pressed A or D, my character would move forward or backward, and W or S would move my character left or right respectively.
I dont recall doing anything different or new, I was playing OPR most of that nigh (imagine playing but with the keyboard rotated 90 degrees)

this is usually an issue when a controller is plugged in

Nah my controllers had no batteries for months

Thank you so much for this additional information! I’m glad that this was technically resolved. We appreciate you recalling your previous actions before this weird bug!
