Hi there @mrhood11 Thank you for reporting this, that is certainly very weird.

Since you have ruled out it being a controller issue, I am completely unsure as to what could be causing this, the only buttons hard coded into the game to accept left and right movement for the character are [A] and [D] and other reports of a similar issue have always been related to a PS Controller or XBOX Controller connected to their system causing the character to constantly move in a given direction (as no stick drift feathering has been coded into the game so the character picks up even the slightest stick drift even on brand new controllers as no single controller can have an exact perfect 0.00000000 X and Y positioning with their joy sticks).

Which leads me to believe it could be related to some outside issue, potentially an external program conflicting somewhere or potentially a faulty keyboard if it happens on other games also, though I am only assuming given the info provided and this being the very first issue of the character acting erratically that hasn't been directly related to a connected controller.

Would you happen to have a 3rd party program that is manipulating/ modifying your Key binds?

You can also find your Save File/Player Logs Here: https://github.com/FuryFight3r/ScrappingSimulator/wiki/Where-to-find-Scrapping-Simulator-Save-File-and-Error-Logs

A few things you could try is:

• While the Character is acting erratically, you could try unplugging your keyboard, to see if a faulty keyboard is sending false signals to the game, you could also disconnect any other device that is not required to run and operate the game to try track down the problematic area.

• Have you tried Updating your System and Drivers? (this is unlikely to be the cause, but weirder things have happened).

• If the above options fail, could you possibly provide further information that could help track down the cause of the issue like your System Specs and OS?

The more information you can provide the quicker and easier I will be able to track down this pesky bug, though it does make it a little difficult when it's a 1 person issue and other users can play perfectly fine without facing this issue, if multiple players were facing this issue it would be more than likely a coding issue with the game itself, though when it's a one off (Only happens once or only happens to one specific player) it can be very difficult to replicate, reproduce and repair.

i have no external program running keybinds and i have unplugged my keyboard before it did nothing.if this helps i use a keyboard from 1987 an ibm model M throught the PS/2 port on my msi b40m motherboard but yet again ive never had this issue in unity games

[FuryFight3r]

I personally don't have much experience with outdated technologies so it's hard to say weather that's the problem or not.

The only thing I could suggest from this point would be to try the game on another system if at all possible, if the problem persists across different systems than it is certainly a coding issue with the game that I may be able to fix easily, though if it is an issue between the game and your system specifically, then there is not much I am able to do unfortunately without knowing your system to create a workaround in-game.

[mrhood11]

is there a log that gets created in the game files i can send you by any chance?

[FuryFight3r]

Yeah, I had linked a Wiki guide on how to find the Player Logs in my first comment: https://github.com/FuryFight3r/ScrappingSimulator/issues/97#issuecomment-1457628085

Hopefully I can spot something within that to help fix the bug 🙂👍

Player-prev.log Player.log here you go i managed to make a save game now its constantly trying to go backwards

[mrhood11]

i think i may have resolved the issue its now not doing anything on its own anymore i think it was handbrake that i forgot that was still plugged in cause the character would move forward if i were to pull the handbrake so i think it was that ill keep you posted on this

[FuryFight3r]

Thank you for that, that is certainly strange, could you also possibly send in your save file? If the behaviour changes after saving then it could potentially be an Object stuck to the player causing interference.

I will look into the logs and see if anything stands out

[mrhood11]

so the game seems to be picky with anybody with a wheel setup you have to make sure your wheel and handbrake or any sim controllers are unplugged if you want to play this i tried putting my save in here but the file type is not supported on here

[FuryFight3r]

Yeah I should have been more specific when I said unplug all other devices from your system, as a wheel setup acts exactly like a controller in the case of Scrapping Simulator, anything with a joystick like input will send false signals to the game, and frustratingly enough I cannot seem to disable controller input through Unity.

[mrhood11]

well thanks for all the help i wish you luck to finishing the game i changed my review to recommended

[FuryFight3r]

Thank you I appreciate that, I am glad its working for you now, I will do my best to try force Unity to disable any input that is not directly from a Keyboard and Mouse, though I have tried many a time in the past with no success, if all else fails I will put a warning on the game start-up that recommends disconnecting any Controller like Input device for best game experience.
