Bug #: 30981 Summary: Skyrim: Keys "stick" occasionally Product: Wine Version: 1.5.7 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jeff@deserettechnology.com Classification: Unclassified
While playing Skyrim, one of the directional keys will occasionally stick. This usually happens when entering a new area (after the loading screen) or coming out of character management and equipment screens. The stuckedness can be undone by holding the stuck key for a few seconds and releasing. This happen semi-frequently.
Also, occasionally something sticks that makes the character move in a very halted manner. The character will run for three or four steps before he is forced to walk again. After 6-8 steps, the character will resume running for 3-4 steps. This behavior loops until both Skyrim and WINE are completely closed. It is not resolved simply by relaunching Skyrim. It may be that this occurs when a different key gets stuck, but I do not know which key would stick that way.
These behaviors witnessed in Wine 1.5.6 - 4c7f6f6. I have not played enough with 1.5.7 to know if it occurs there, but it mostly likely does.

--- Comment #3 from Jeff Cook jeff@deserettechnology.com 2013-01-30 01:26:52 CST --- The halted character problem has started happening with greatly increased frequency for me in recent builds of wine. I can confirm it seems to occur primarily when Caps Lock is on.

--- Comment #5 from vanista@gmail.com 2013-09-16 06:59:40 CDT --- I have the same problems on my setup
Skyrim 1.9.32.0.8 SKSE 1.6.16 rel 44 wine 1.6-2.2 openSUSE 13.1 i7-2620M 8GB RAM
I think the caps lock issue is different from the sticky keys. In my case it happens when I move around a lot, possibly smashing 3 or more keys at once. I don't know (yet) how DirectInput works but it seems to me that the keyboard is handled by events (key down, key up) and some key up events would be missed by the game. As mentioned by others, hitting the direction key in cause will unstick it.

--- Comment #6 from Nuno Carapinha nkarapinha@gmail.com 2013-10-28 05:41:36 CDT --- I also have this bug and I think this happens to people with Ubuntu 13.10 based distros. its because of the new ibus they have. this happens to me on skyrim but also in tomb raider 2013, shadow warrior and dark souls (all the games installed in the moment) also I put "use-global-engine" = true in the ibus configs via d-conf it started happening less times put it still happens a lot, especially on skyrim. with the same machine in ubuntu 13.04 this did not happened.

--- Comment #9 from vanista@gmail.com 2013-11-03 17:52:21 CST --- I'm running KDE so I don't use IBus by default. However I just tried turning off the auto repeat and bingo! No more sticky keys, and as bonus the caps lock run toggle works at last!
Thanks for the info, this is a totally viable solution for me, I'll figure a way to quickly switch this config, possibly toggling it when launching the game.

--- Comment #10 from Jason Wood montanawoody@gmail.com --- The ibus changes did nothing for me, but I am able to get around the problem by turning off/on autorepeat in a shell script that launches my game:
xset r off
wine game.exe
xset r on
The only issue with this setup is autorepeat is disabled system-wide, which is rather annoying.

--- Comment #12 from Rosanne DiMesio dimesio@earthlink.net --- Confirming the occasionally sticky keys.
It may not be necessary to completely turn off keyboard repeat to work around this. I reduced the keyboard repeat rate in KDE to 11 a few days ago (down from 25), and have not had the problem since.

--- Comment #13 from Luis Alvarado luisalvaradox@gmail.com --- Confirmed happening in Skyrim with latest Wine 1.8 RC version and for 1.7.55, 1.7.54 and 1.7.53.
It happens very random where the keys simply stay pressed and sometimes do not even stop until I repeatedly press the same keys again to remove them from a stuck state.When I leave two keys pressed (Like going diagonally by pressing up and right or up and left using de WASD combination) they tend to get stuck together.

I can confirm that this is still an issue as of wine 1.9.8 +staging
taking off auto-repeat using
xset r off
fixed the issue

--- Comment #15 from Steven V. Wilson funmaker_11@yahoo.com --- I had this problem until I saw this bug report. I discovered that the Unity installer - Kubuntu 17.10 -, had set the wrong keyboard to generic 101. Pressing default in the keyboard setup selected generic 104. Actually it's a Logictech K350,but that one is not in the list. I also changed the repeat rate to 2, I have coordination problems so I felt that would be best. No more stuck keys. Skyrim works great now. I have a light flicker problem that I didn't before. I suspect it's one or more of my mods.

--- Comment #16 from Joel Holdsworth joel@airwebreathe.org.uk --- I've been playing the game with DXVK. I've been playing the game on High settings, and get reasonable frame-rates throughout the game.
For me, I never seem to get keys stuck in dungeons - only in the overworld map. I found the issue became a lot worse when I tried Ultra settings - with the corresponding reduction in frame-rate.
Doing xset r off seems to have no effect.
The steps to reproduce are pretty simple:
1. Install the game and set up DXVK. 2. Go for a walk in the overworld by holding down the forward "W" key. 3. Keep it down for 30-seconds, then release. At this point you will keep walking for several seconds, and no other key presses will be handled until you stop.
The "W" key events seem to be spamming the input buffer somehow. For example, I like to pick Alchemic ingredients without stopping my walk, but presses of the pick-up "E" key are blocked by the "W" key events.
Can anyone give any advice on how I can help track down the cause of this issue?

--- Comment #17 from Vlad vblanton@gmail.com --- This bug is present in windows as well. I search the internet for "skyrim keys get stuck keep moving" and found a number of posts. for example, this steamcommunity post: https://steamcommunity.com/app/72850/discussions/0/617335934140598491/
for me, the issue was with repeat keys. normally, if you hold a key down when you are typing anywhere, it will keep printing it out. skyrim seem to have an issue with this.
I use Gnome, and my solution was to turn off repeat keys in gnome settings before I played and to turn it back on after.

I use Gnome, and my solution was to turn off repeat keys in gnome settings before I played and to turn it back on after.
That issue is not what this bug is about.
It's not about the game repeating a key press for a bit after the key is released.
It's about the game acting like the key is permanently stuck.
When i played Skyrim several years back, it wasn't an occasional thing. It happened a lot, constantly.
I also used to have the exact same problem in Alice: Madness Returns. I recently replayed Alice in Proton and did not have the problem.
I don't know if this is still a problem in Skyrim, but this bug should IMO not have been closed because it's not the same problem as repeating keys.
