ThePearl Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey there! I just reinstalled Oblivion for the 3rd time on my new computer, just to (again) see that he just keeps walking... The exact same files didn't do anything yesterday, then the game ran perfectly as it should. Today after rebooting the computer (and installing OBMM, OBSE and TES CS) the character just keeps walking no matter what I press. I removed everything related to oblivion but when I reinstalled the game again (vanilla, or patched with the shivering isles as well as the 1.2.0413 - or whatever) he keeps walking, even if I unplug the keyboard so obviously there's something messed up with the game. Any console commands that may help? The game does not respond to w or s but every other button. Help is very much appreciated as I just got this new dual core just to play Oblivion :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 IIRC, I think if you press the Q button, it toggles on the constant walk. Make sure you are not hitting that key by accident. Press it again and he will stop walking (or running if you have caps lock on). Also make sure that key on your keyboard is not sticking too.

I only use the mouse, also when typing in the char name I make sure to hit qwasd just to make sure. Any other tips you may have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would that be my problem? I could try to only have my 1 "normal" mouse plugged in, or my technomouse plugged in. They are compatible with being connected as they are in the same output.

bben46 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Here are a couple of longshots If you have a joystick, or other analog type controller attached to the PC 15 pin joystick input port it could be putting in a slight DC voltage. try unplugging anything attached to the joystick input port. Or, edit the Oblivion.ini, not the one in the oblivion directory, but the one in the directory that the save games are in, usually C:\Documents and settings ... \Oblivion.ini On XP systems. Find the entry bUse Joystick= if it is set to bUse Joystick=1, change it to bUse Joystick=0Be sure to save the Oblivion.ini when you are finished. This will ignore any input from the joystick port It's possible there is a small signal there all of the time causing your problem even when there is nothing connected to the port. The joystick port can also normally be disabled in the motherboard BIOS. Do all 3 unless you actually use that port. Just do the Oblivion.ini fix if you use an analog controller on that port for some other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePearl Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Holy crap, I have a joystick and I notice now that it's tilted slightly forward... I am going to unplug it and test the game. Hold on EDIT: I love you, I didn't even know Oblivion had joystick support? But really, thanks for the help! Now I can actually test my mods and play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
