This sounds strange, our testers will check it out. Which gun are you using? Or you experienced this with all the weapons?

This happens with all weapons. I did a little searching after I posted this and read that this happens when you start firing while holding a movement button. It doesn't happen if you stop moving and then shoot, or if you hold force attack/attack in place.

Sorry for the necro but I was just about to post a thread on this same issue, I noticed it immediately when I got the game tonight. It's most noticeable while using WASD movement/no movement on mouse.

For example, while moving in any direction, hold down one of the buttons to fire a gun. Every time the gun is on cooldown (and you're still holding the ability button), you'll keep running in the direction you were going.

It's a bit odd and appears to happen with all weapons/classes/abilities.

If needed I can make a quick video if my description sucked.

This is definitely still a thing and drives me crazy. I can't tell you the amount of times this has driven me into an enemy melee horde and caused me to have to take evasive action. Has anyone gotten around to looking at this issue?

I posted this bug 3 years ago on the devs' forum, they told me they knew about the issue but it was low priority, but that it would be fixed at some point.

Then two years later I asked what the status was, and I got a response that it would no longer be getting fixed. Really, really ♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Well, that's wondrous. I feel like for people that like queuing up moves and who actually possess enough of a brain to parallel process and coordinate their moves, it's a huge pain because it adds another unnecessary layer of actions you have to worry about.

Let's hope they revert their stance on this. Do you happen to have a link to the forum thread for this? I'd like to see it if you don't mind.

"There are many higher priority issues to this day and I don't see that this issue will be fixed."

Appreciate it. I went ahead and threw my hat in the ring, for what it's worth. Maybe with enough urging and by keeping a respectful tone, someone might just get this little nagging issue resolved. All we can do is hope.
