I had this more often recently. When i use armlock, my mech sometimes seems to get stuck going in one direction or turning in one direction.

It always goes backwards or forward then, as i would always press w or s.
or it spins in circles, the match is basically over then.

In faction play it is not enough to just quit the match, i have to restart mwo to get rid of it. Very annoying.

Might be some sort of weird keyboard button combination though i press accidentally? Any ideas?

Are you using a keyboard with multiple languages? If so, than try to not press alt+shift because that's what's causing your mech to permanently move. Oh, and if you do press alt+shift and get this bug again go to a piece of cover (preferably behind a building or a large rock formation) and alt+tab to your desktop and than alt+tab back to mwo.
This bug has been discussed by the community for several years and PGI still doesn't care to fix it.

thank you very much! Alt is my coolshot button, so i might have used a coolshot while using armlock to disengage/torsotwist, i ll try that in the training grounds.

No multiple languages i know of.

weapon grounds 1-6 are represented by the keys on the keyboard, but almost no one will actually activate them from a keypress, so in my setup I put the consumables there, I assigned a type of consumable, to the key, eg 1 for UAV / 2 for arty / 3 for coolshot, it doesnt matter what slot its in like that, and if you dont have that consumable on the mech, then it doesnt matter ...

yeah that was it, alt is easily reachable with my thumb, so every time when i use a coolshot while using armlock it gets stuck.

I ll have to use my C button in future, thanks.
