Cant control ship, or pirate, most of the time

[doolittle]

Not sure if this is related because it only happened while trying to walk/move/turn, but never while steering ship. It's only happened a few times, but holding down WASD keys any more than a quick tap resulted in "exaggerated movement". Like if I wanted to turn just a little, I'd spin in circles until hitting another key. Very frustrating! I wound up going to control panel and messing with my keyboard settings/character repeat, delay and rate. That seemed to do the trick, though I don't know what triggered the change in the first place.
