Over the past few weeks I've been having an odd glitch coming up while playing and I was hoping someone here could help me diagnose it. For reference, I am playing on a PC.
Every so often, maybe once or twice a week, my character will start running in circles. There is no indication as to why, but it suddenly starts running, usually to the right, without me giving any input to the keyboard.
Actually using the keys gives me a limited degree of control, but not enough to guide the character to a given location. So far the only fix I've found is to hit the /heal key to force them to stop moving and subsequently shut down.
Tonight it came up again and I checked something. Logging out doesn't fix the error, as I logged out and logged back in only to start running in circles again.
My first suspicion was that something had gone wrong with my keyboard, but this sort of input trouble doesn't come up in anything else I do on the PC, though that might be from lack of time logged on stuff that was FFXI while on the desktop. However, in the middle of the error shutting down the client seems to fix it as immediately booting the FFXI client back up results in a return to normal controls. This makes me think there's something going on with the FFXI client rather than my keyboard going haywire.
Has anyone experienced anything like this or know what this might be an indication of?
Is there a fix, or should I just re-install the game and see if that fixes things?
