Involuntary movement of the character

[megaserhiizhuk]

I found a non-arbitrary character movement at level 15 in the Archbishop Lazar quest. When I exit the portal, Lazar starts saying something and my character runs somewhere to the corner by himself and the buttons work in vain. I press the up button, he runs up, I release the up button, and he runs down and to the right corner by himself, I restart the game and the character runs to the upper left corner by himself. However, some directions of movement do not work.
When I was surrounded and I killed everyone, the movement returned to normal .... The second time I restart the game from this place: the character ran to the left right corner by himself .... he stood there for some time and the movement returned to normal.
I restarted several times and caught this bug.
I restarted the game several times from this place and the movement was normal, the last time I restarted and again the character ran somewhere by himself. It is not clear how this happens.

I play on an armeabi-v7a device.

I checked it once on arm64, it seemed to be fine, the character came out of the portal, took a couple of steps and stopped.

I played on this build, which is the last working one with Hellfire - fe853e4

I play on an armeabi-v7a device.

Please be more specific, is this:
Touch / Mouse & Keyboard / Gamepad
Android / Wayland / X11 / Windows / 3DS / iOS / Lepus / miyoo mini / retrofw / reg350 / vita / unsupported

I checked it once on arm64, it seemed to be fine, the character came out of the portal, took a couple of steps and stopped.

The CPU is unlikely to be relevant here

I can say with certainty that this only happens when a gamepad is connected. In this case, I used a wired gamepad. I don't know about a Bluetooth gamepad because I don't have one. This doesn't happen with a mouse, keyboard everything is fine with them.

That's called stick drift and is not a problem with DevilutionX, it's a problem with your gamepad.

If it was stick drift then I would have problems not only in this place of the game, but in any place of the game and not only would there be problems in DevilutionX but there would be problems in other games as well.
Also I don't use stick in games at all and prefer to use only the cross on the gamepad always and in all games. It's just that the effect of this bug is not very noticeable.
I played DevilutionX on this gamepad 8-9 times in a row and every time the problems are in this place with Lazar, in addition to playing DevilutionX I also played the version on ps1 4 times and there is no stick drift and the stick works for me in ps1 too but again I never used it there because for me the cross is more convenient.

It is quite possible that this is related to the fact that when the video intro with Lazar is playing, the game still perceives button presses on the Gamepad. After all, this intro cannot be skipped, but I try to skip it out of habit and press different buttons. And when I exit the portal to Lazar, my character first visibly reproduces the button presses that were made during the video intro. Is this possible?

After talking to staphen, it does sound like there's a bug related to directionals sticking during movie playback and after. I'm not sure if there's a bug report open for this already.

I checked yesterday, I carefully approach the portal and strictly take one step into the portal and then when exiting the portal my character stands in place as expected.
And it immediately becomes clear why when I checked on the phone and said that the character takes only a couple of steps: apparently I slightly pressed the direction button when entering the portal and when exiting the portal my character took these extra steps that I pressed.
Why didn't I have this with the mouse... there I just clicked once on the portal and there were no extra movements or clicks.
Usually when you play for the first time you don't know that the video cannot be skipped and you press different buttons during the video... like start, A, B, maybe you pressed the direction buttons a couple more times... and when exiting the portal the character no longer obeys.

But for now this is just my theory that requires further confirmation.

It's not a problem to make a report, I don't want to mislead people.
