Keep getting stucked

Hi, I'm playing as a necro and from time to time when I use some skills and target different targets while stomping on Death Spike, my character gets stuck. I can't move, I can't write, but I can see the chat and people passing by while I get slowly beaten by mobs if I'm not loggin to myself from another client to force a disconnect.

I guess it's some kind of anti spam protection which is too sensitive, because I keep getting stucked often when I'm in action heavy combat.

Try not to hold down any key which may be a nuke, that is what usually causes the freeze.

Re: Keep getting stucked

Thanks, I encountered the same issue on a number of other servers years ago and I just remembered how I fixed it.

In the Control Panel/Keyboard preferences, just reduce the Repeat Rate to whatever value suits you. Generally the lowest value is the best, which is like 500ms instead of , I don't know, maybe 50ms which is the highest value. This simply means when you hold down a key, it will repeat the same key less frequently so the server doesn't get flooded and gets you cut off and even with crazy casting speeds, 500ms repeat rate is not getting in the way of continuous spell casting.
