It happens to me when I use Items and almost always after i perform a finishing move.

Laterali: I've been having problems today where all i can do is walk around. It usually happens right when I get into fights. The camera won't spin, I can't enter any menus. I can't swing my sword or use signs. All I can do is run. I think it might have something to do with the number 4 key and R. I had a throwing knife selected, but I must be out, cause it didn't do anything. Since I pressed that, all the controls stopped working. I've done it twice now and it happened both times. Even though I don't have any left it keeps it selected and it basically turns off all my controls. Anyone run across this bug besides me?
I've had this problem with any number of keys. For me what I've had is:

1. Randomly cannot attack
2. about 10-20% of the time I have to hit a key twice to respond.
Mouse I've had no issues but actions would not respond at irritating to unplayable levels, when I could not even draw my sword. Restarting the game owuld fix this. New Patch to fix this please....need keys-actions to respond properly.
The only remedy to fixing this problem I've found is to let my character get hit... as soon as Geralt takes damage once, the controls return to normal.

I just mentioend this big time in a new topic asking for dates for patch 1.3 too many people have had this issue and its gotten so bad for me starting at act 2.5-3 that I'm shelving it until I see a date. Its seems ricidulous that I have often get killed because suddenly nothing works; cannot cast any spells or move in some cases. Mouse is always working though. curious...anyway, in my opinion this needs to get fixed FAST. its a deal breaker. I'll think a few times before pre-purchasing another game after this.

The controls for signs and block cut in and out on this game and the devs really need to fix this and make the controls more responsive.

Often i feel i am fighting the controls and not the monsters

NOTE GAMING KEYBOARDS MAY NOT WORK WITH THIS GAME

MY STEELSERIES MERC KEYBOARD HAD AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF LAG IN COMBAT DUE TO THTHE Z ENGINE SOFTWARE CONFLICTING. SWITCHING TO MY MS KEYBOARD REDUCED LAG IN COMBAT 10 fold but the game is still too laggy in combat

Yep I googled this problem and it showed this thread haha. I stopped playing Witcher 2 until patch 1.3 is released and hopefully this annoying issue is resolved.

I went through the prologue and Chapter 1 bug free. Now on chapter 2 this bug has hit me for the 5th time today. Always happens in a fight.
Yea, I've only encountered this particular bug in Chapter 2. No issue's concerning it in Chapter 1 and I've played chapter 1 multiple times.
