[Bug] Mounts & Mouse Control [Merged]

not sure what just happen. it suddenly just stop allowing me toe control the direction that the Griffin Mount walks using the mouse. I have to use keyboard to change direction. But It works while in the air. How do I fix this?

I have a tendency of using my mouse to control my characters movement with my mouse alone and keep my open hand, my left one, mostly on the skill keys and thumb on the space bar to controle the usage of skills and other general overlay and other non movement based things such as mounts, guild tab, inventory, etc.

However, with todays update, I've noticed that there have been moments where, when moving my character, again nothing other than my mouse, it won't turn when I move my mouse. It'll just keep running straight forward. Only way I can get it to turn is by jumping.

Edit: I've been able to gain fully control of my characters movements is by either going to the character select screen or by completely closing the game.

having the same issue, though dismounting fixes it for me

There had been a time or two where I did that and still had the same inability despite coming to a complete stop before moving again.

yup noticed the same bug today after the patch. so far dismounting and remounting seems to fix it, not sure if theres anything specifically triggering it but boy its annoying

As An Old who usually uses ASWD to move, I have the corollary problem. Sometimes, particularly after waypointing within the map while mounted, I will try to turn my mount before moving forward, and suddenly I'm back in side-scroller days with my mount haring off to the left or right of my screen while my camera remains fixed. I haven't sent an in-game bug report yet for lack of words to accurately describe it. Ideally, I'd like to get video, but I can't reliably re-create the problem.

its related to another bug - when you use a wp while mounted, to another wp in the same zone, and it forces a load screen it resets some of your camera options. camera shake and freecam was enabled when i dont have them enabled by default

Before the patch, you could use a waypoint while mounted and proceed normally after spawning at the new location.

Now you can no longer navigate directionally when doing this. Your mount will just refuse to adjust to the direction you want to go by holding down your right mouse button.

You have to unmount, then mount again to correct this navigational misbehavior.

Aha, looks like this has been addressed:
