Public Service Announcement: DO NOT PUSH Z!

Unread post by Bowno »

DO NOT PUSH Z. DO NOT PUSH Z WHEN STANDING. DO NOT PUSH Z WHEN MOUNTED. DO NOT PUSH Z WHILE ON FLIGHT PATH.
DO NOT PUSH Z AT ALL.

Pushing Z at this time causes you to crash to your Desktop. Not sure why, but it does.

Siggy under construction!

Curious... I've pushed Z since the patch and have been fine. I use it for Binding Shot and made plenty of use out of it. Is it the default keybind that is causing the client to crash? I can't remember what it defaults to.

Edit: Oh! Z is the default keybind for sheath/unsheathing weapon, which apparently has been causing crashes. Color me oblivious! Apparently the hotfix is in the works though.

Thank you for the update on this! I'm glad they're going to rush to fix it.

Must only be affecting certain people. I used it to take a screenshot earlier and I didn't crash.

It's not Z as a key, it's sheathing / unsheathing of weapons as action (judging by reports, some BMs were hit especially hard by it, due to Dire Beast sheathing weapon as a part of its animation). If you have bound something else to the key, you can use it safely, although I think by now it has been largely fixed.
