Twice today, after spawning in Apartments, the game stopped taking my input.

The first time was my first spawn after I joined the server. The keyboard controls did not move my character, and the in-game cursor (not the OS cursor) was on my screen, so that whenever I moved my mouse, the cursor would move, but the character wouldn't rotate. I pressed "Escape" twice, and then all controls worked again.

Later, in that same match, after spawning, my character was stuck sliding forward. I don't know if any run animation was playing. The character would not react to keyboard input, but all mouse controls worked. I did not think to try hitting "Escape" twice again; I just disconnected.

This did not happen before the patch, but I have played more since the patch than before, so I cannot say that the patch introduced the bug. Mouse smoothing is off, and I have increased both mouse sensitivity sliders.

You need some new INI files. Delete the files in the following folder and the restart your game.

This works. Should I do this after every update to the beta?

The next day...

Now the problems are back again, and they're as rare before. I don't know that deleting the ini files actually solved the problem, just that it was by chance the problems went away for a while. Also, this has now happened while running in game, long after I have spawned.
