Direct answer
Quick answer
Arrowhead confirms two Microsoft IME problems on PC: Korean, Japanese, and Chinese symbols may not type in chat, and Chinese or Japanese IME can prevent movement and controls in-game.
Field note
How to identify the issue
If movement stops while the game remains responsive, record the active Windows input method before treating the client as frozen.
Field note
Official status
The current Known Issues article confirms both problems but does not publish an official workaround or fixed version.
Field note
Temporary risk reduction
Editorial only: switch to a non-IME keyboard layout before returning control to the game, then switch back for text. This is a temporary test, not a guaranteed fix.
Field note
What to include in a report
Include Windows version, input language, IME mode, platform store, game build, failed function, and whether changing the layout restored control.
FAQ
Common questions
Does it affect chat only?
