character will at random intervals become unresponsive and continue to do something, As in glide forward after the release of the mouse and keyboard. it will turn in a circle run in a circle teleport back a few steps then glide forward. This seems to increase in likelihood While running and/or when zombies or other players are in close proximity. In at least one instance without hearing a gun shot two player characters approached me and I died instantly from their reaction I believe they were as surprised as me. I never had this happen before the .50 update to stable

When these symptoms start happening in game, press P to open the "players" list, and click on your own name. Check what the "desync" value is. If everything is going well, your desync value should be zero (0).

This can happen if you go to the desktop and can be solved in the same way.
Try to go on desktop when it happens

I checked the desync value and it was at times as high as 8000 and others it ranged from 0 to 275. There seemed to be no consistency to it.

"This can happen if you go to the desktop and can be solved in the same way.
Try to go on desktop when it happens" Do you mean alt+tab? or maybe steam overlay?

There does not seem to be a lot of people with this problem. Should I be looking at my hardware? Could it be my mouse or a bad internet connection?

Hi shayboe,
thanks a lot for keeping us updated! Really appreciated.
It is indeed possible that this is caused by alt+tabbing or using the Steam overlay, please feel free to let us know if you believe there is a connection.
I'd also like you to check this with a different mouse/keyboard, if possible.
Another thing you can try is disabling macros in case you are using some.
The issue is indeed something quite unusual - we will see what can be done.
Regards,
Andy

I have used a new mouse. It did not affect the problem. I will try a different keyboard but I do not expect it will make a difference with this problem or problems as the case may be. I do not use MACROs and would not know how. While I am familiar with alt/tab to bring up the steam overlay and/or switch windows,In my experience I have not used those functions during most of the game sessions and the problem seems to persist. I have up loaded some system info in the form of a picture in hope that there is not a problem with it's configuration and game function. As of this writing the .51 update to stable has not made any change with this problem. Here is a short video of the problem http://youtu.be/ApGfG-O8oa8 I look forward to the resolution of this so I can get back to surviving and thriving in cherno once again. Still haning the same problem as of 12-08 2014.

Also suffering the same issue, possibly jumping to conclusions but it seems more prevalent on private hives and it seems to trigger at the same time as a player joins a private hive for the very first time...
Have seen this happening whilst the player list shows 0 desync. In my playgroup, roughly half of us have suffered this problem at least once - though I'm getting it every time I try to play.
Tested with a new (simple) keyboard and mouse, I don't use steam overlay and I have had it happen without alt-tabbing. I have three monitors connected, though the problem continues even when they are disabled via software.
