I noticed the other day that my knight will occasionally walk at a slight angle when using WASD or the arrow keys. It happened to me in Haven just now, so I thought I'd share since I'm not sure if it's come up. It isn't extreme, but definitely noticeable. I've seen it both in the Clockworks and in Haven.

Walking right, then left, and then back right:

Walking up, down, and then back up:

It rarely affects me because I use my mouse for movement, but it makes it only slightly harder to be precise with bombs at times when I am using WASD.
EDIT: What I am talking about is not the direction my knight is facing, but rather the direction it moves on the X and Y axes.

Regardless of the direction I point my knight drifts at a slight angle left/down when I use either WASD or the arrow keys. I should move in a straight line, as I usually do.

While ONLY using A and D to move left and right this happens:

Excuse my poor editing, but that's really the best I can do to explain it. I labeled the order of my positions in the left and right examples so you can see what the order is, but on the up and down ones it goes from right to left. If you still don't get it... then I don't know what I can do for you.

I dont se your problem here?
As far as I know, the knight is always facing the mousepointer.

Or are you turning your knight with WASD??

Started happening to me again

Started happening to me again yesterday. After sleeping and waking up I started up SK and it is still happening. Annoying, since I just took up guns...

Might be lag, I ping pong every which way all the time trying to walk in a straight line.

It definitely isn't lag.

I understand what you're

I understand what you're talking about. I noticed this a lot when I only quickly move with the arrow keys.
