Character forced to look one direction + spinning

[The_Man 393]

I am having a very strange issue. It is specific to a few servers. One of them is whitelisted. This issue does not occur on many, if not most, public servers. 

 

When I join one of these specific servers, my character can walk normally. When I begin to run (with no primary, with primary weapon, or other items) I will teleport a short distance. After I teleport a short distance, my character will slide for a short distance without the running animation. Usually after this happens my character's view will be locked in one direction and then will spin uncontrollably. My keyboard is unresponsive but the mouse seems to respond in some cases. 

 

I have had a internet tech come out to check my hardware, all good. Internet speed and quality is optimal as well. (Direct connect, new ethernet cable, no WIFI)

 

I have joined several other servers and this problem does not exist. 

 

The one whitelisted server that has this issue for my character did not have this issue when they removed the whitelist for an event. My ping on that server is always below 20 and my desync is usually 0. Sometimes 1. 

 

Not really expecting a fix but if you have one, I'll try it I guess. Just wanted to share in case anyone was having a similar issue. It might be problem unique to my setup/or the servers I frequent.

Wow, that is pretty crazy and was going to say that it was extremely high dsync but now I don't know. The reason why I was going to say high dsync is because my friend doesn't have he best internet and when his internet goes bad and dsync hits the game forces him to look a certain direction and pretty much becomes useless. Sorry I can't help and hope this gets attention.

Do you think maybe that the desync information in game isn't correct? It could be that the desync indicator is just no correct. It sounds like I have the same problem as your friend so it must be desync...hmm

In the Arma series there is a common issue when one spawns either from death or into the server and controls can get stuck from whatever you were last pressing. I.e. I died trying to save a spinning helicopter and I spawn banking left on foot, the simple fix is to double tap the key direction in which your character is moving. However you said you have no keyboard control so it has me on the fence but you could always try this to see the outcome as pressing all your keys wont fix it unless its done correctly.

Yeah, I've tried that. It is much more severe than I think you are imagining. My description isn't very good, sorry about that. Think about having 5% control of your character, and that control is extremely delayed. It is total madness!
