Whenever I am in combat my ability bar will randomly switch to another ability bar? I have removed absolutely every keybind I can see in game options but yet it still randomly does it and it is so annoying!

I have tried removing action bar equipment binding (the one when you switch combat styles) even though at no point do I change my weapons in hand, also I have looked in my controls section of the settings and removed everything except a few that wont change the ability bar.

Can anyone help me with this as its really messing with my gameplay now and for the life of me I cant find what key could possibly be changing the bar..

Make sure your action bar and customization are locked, otherwise there are always chances we misclick and change the action bar.

Action bar can also be switched with the arrows on the left hand side of it, occasionally I misclick and inadvertently change my action bar too, especially on the small Mobile screen with my fat fingers.

In general, the more we click the more chances we make misclick and change our interface settings, action bar included. However, we have keybinds in RS3, that will reduce the misclick obviously when we click less.

Furthermore, if you are prone to misclick, I recommend taking advantage of the unique RS3 "save loadout" feature often. We can save up to 4 different layouts, or if so preferred we can save one designated layout to 4 different copies in case we msclick so often.

Hey thanks for the reply, yeah both are locked and I know you can click the arrows to change it but my problem is that several of my additional presets also change at the same time.

I have noticed it since the release of the new boss and I know the final stage involves a lot of random clicking to dodge the lightening, I just wish there was some way of hiding the arrows to change your action bar as that would remove any risk of a misclick.

Not any difference on the interface I noticed since not just the new bosses but the entire Necromancy release, and I don't notice anybody having your problem.

Anyway, as I mentioned, the less you click the less chances you misclick. That's why I strongly recommend setting up keybinds and presets.

Talking about presets again, I also mentioned the "save loadout" feature. It is the bulletproof solution to all kinds of misclicks anyway. So save your interface to RS3 loadouts often and your investments will be safe.

have you been doing SHIFT+NUMBER typing? Cause for the default keybinds, SHIFT+1 for example will jump you to actionbar 1... Things may be looking down now, but I see a light at the end of the tunnel;
Do you think I should get off the tracks?
