Welcome to the community, lordbishop. I need some more information before I send this to the developers.

How long has this been occurring to you?
Did you equip a specific new item recently?
Is it possible to get a video/gif of this bug?

Once I have this information, I can get this looked into for you.

How long has this been occurring to you?
This just started today
Did you equip a specific new item recently?
Only thing new that I’ve equipped was the Blunderbuss
Is it possible to get a video/gif of this bug?
New-World-equip weapon_
New-World-harvesting
Turns out to also happen when I harvest anything

Things I’ve done to try to fix:

  • unequipped the blunderbuss
  • Fast Traveled
  • died
  • relogged
  • uninstalled/reinstalled
  • deleted savedata directory

Out of curiosity I re-equipped the blunderbuss, and it isn’t automatically triggering the block animation, however I am now unable to aim using the left mouse button and harvesting or skinning puts me into a weird stance
New-World-2022.04.02-03.14.40.06-2

Switching between Blunderbuss and Sword/Shield:
New-World-2022.04.02-03.23.56.07

Any chance of an update @Centeotl ? Would really love to take advantage of the Double XP weekend to level up some weapons. Thanks!

More information. If I hit escape so that it brings up the chat pane and the nav bar with Modes, Company, Map, etc… it takes me out of the block animation and I can move around normally and do things normally. Of course I can only move straight ahead, I can use the mouse.

The moment I click the mouse or hit ESC again and close the Nav/Chat it puts me back into the block stance.

@Pramekhan Whatever happened here? Did you get it fixed or quit? :sweat_smile:

@Centeotl

sounds like broken mouse lol

Unbinding the button doesn’t stop it from happening, so probably not the answer

@Centeotl If i restart my computer I am good for like 45 mins. Then I start blocking again until I restart my pc again. I have reinstalled, validated game files, changed key bindings, etc, etc… I am out of ideas… Please help.
