Any ideas
Trying to finish part of the fire breathers run course.. none of my keyboard keys work as they are supposed to, to get me running or sprinting. The / key (always run) acts like the other FO games where caps lock has you slow motion/normal speed.. works that way for me, Using c to (run) does nothing, and left shift (sprint) does nothing also and caps lock (ptt) does nil... any way to get around this part of the quest?

Did it work for you before you were trying to do the firebreathers running course? I mean you have tried to sprint before right?

Maybe check your keybindings. Sprinting works fine for me and I completed all the running courses including the firebreathers one with no issues.

ty for the reply, and in all other fo games and this one... no, I never had to or try to run, sprint or whatever.
I did try verifying files and reset back to the games default setting twice.. no help.
and nothing seems wrong with the keyboard either.. go figure.

You may want to bind sprint to a different key in the setting / controls section.

That is what I said above. Check your key bindings.

Change it to a different key and see what it does.

If you can't sprint are you over encumbered?

Try removing and re-equipping armour as sometimes weight reduction can bug out.

That's my first thought.

Power Armor might be out of power.

I've also run into a bug where AP didn't regenerate.

Sometimes bindings look correct, but the behavior is unexpected.

Resetting them back to defaults will kick start them into working correctly.

To you all, I very much appreciate your thought's and all suggestions from you. I have done all that was suggested to no avail, I guess I'm screwed, when to finish a quest where speed is required lol. Tried with and with out PA.. only thing I did not do is try to rebind the keys which I will try. IMO, there is so much to do (I think) to keep me busy for a while anyway where I don't need the speed.. so happy gaming all. THX again :)

I didn't see anyone suggest the following so just in case these might help:
- check to see if you broke a leg or two at some point. A stimpak will take care of that.
- I think there is a "toggle walk" or maybe it's called "toggle run" that makes your character walk instead of run. I don't know if sprint will still work in that state though. It'll be under keybindings. I never use it and my keys are all rebound so you'll have to dig that up.
-If you are having AP issues (like maybe it's bugged) try eating some AP food like Corn soup.
-Try a different keyboard maybe one of your keys went out or is stuck somehow.
-If you have a usb game controller you could always try that in a pinch.
-Otherwise it really sounds like you're super over-encumbered or been huffing on a cryolator.

I hope you get it sorted! good luck

This ^

Try to get your carry weight down really low, even if you just temporarily drop everything on the ground for a moment - if you are carrying tons of things (something like 4x your Carry Weight max; for example, if your Carry Weight max is 200 and you're trying to carry 800 weight of items) you'll go really slow and Sprint/Run/etc won't make a difference anymore, even if you have full Action Points to Sprint with (so those keys will seem like they are not working).

GL with it

TY fellas.. I do intend to try another keyboard and no..nothing broken :) ..always, always keep my carry weight below the max, just so I can FT. Also i will try changing key binds with my other keyboard... Would really be nice to get this run,sprint etc. working because right now when moving forward it's like I'm just sight seeing lol.... taking in the scenery u kno... Happy, good gaming guys.
I have been also trying to help. Hopefully your other keyboard will work old timer ;)
