So, even with full vigor and FPS at 60 when in dungeons, sometimes pressing block will have no effect. This can be FATAL in group fights.

Also, after casting signs, especially Aard, Geralt will not move for a few seconds. This ruins any chance I had to follow up with an attack on a stunned enemy. Sometimes he'll follow through seamlessly, other times he'll stay rooted to the spot for a second before running forwards.

Anyone else having this issue?
Yeah I've noticed both. For the blocking, It seems that if you are pressing any direction while pressing block it doesn't work, and only pressing block and nothing else result in blocking without fail. I could just be imagining it though.

Don't know how to solve the sign thing though, it's pretty lame to be robbed of an 1 hit kill because Geralt won't move.
Yes, block button is screwed up, controls seem very unresponsive in general at times.
Sometimes I get a weird bug where I can only move Geralt with the WASD keys, mouse look doesn't work, throwing items/signs don't work, even draw/withdraw your sword doesn't work. Makes the game unplayable and I have to reload :(
Parrying is useless to me. Why oh why can't you parry on the run? You have to be planted right in place in order to parry? Its weird to just stand there waiting for them to hit you. Totally useless.

Please read the post. He said he had full vigor.

Or, to put it in a dialect you might understand:

Maybe you should read the post you are replying to more carefully next time, especially if you are going to berate someone so childishly.

+1, had that too, recently. Only occured once and it was cured after reloading the latest save. Still an evil bug.
yeah I've had an issue where it glitched and block just would not respond at all, had to reload then everything worked fine. I also rebinded block to mouse 2 and it seems to be a lot more responsive than on keyboard, could be a placebo effect though
Totally happens with magic as well - sometimes pressing B on the pad doesn't result in anything the first time, even with full vigor.

This seriously unbalances the combat. Since it only takes a few hits to kill you, even one small mis-step like that can be lethal.

Something clearly needs to be fixed.

I am with you. I have mapped the block to mouse 3 and it works as it wants and not as I want :-( Another thing to the bug list it seems.

I had this happen once to me in the prologue, but I'm now at the start of Chapter 2 and luckily it hasn't happened again. The readme file actually mentions this as something that might happen, and reloading is the only way to fix it.
Block doesn't work when moving or when being hit or when recovering from something. I don't think you guys are experiencing a glitch.
