Toggle Sprint Holding Sprint In Crouch, Ruining Stealth.

[NinjaTurt1e666]

So, I use toggle sprint and crouch and the like. Like, sprinting then crouching in Casing Mode specifically, because you don't slide in casing mode. The game remembers your sprint toggle after crouching. So, picture that you're running a stealth heist, you sprint through a safe area, in Casing Mode, then crouch to maneuver past a guard. Behind the scene, if you keep holding W, the game remembers that you're sprinting. The issue with this lies in when you bump your character into certain walls and features around the map. (The specific feature that's caused me to write this bug report being the two purple banner panels just inside the room holding the vault on the Gold and Sharke bank heist. I know the VIP area door on Rock the Cradle does it too.) When you walk into these walls, you stand up. When you stand up and are still holding W, you start sprinting. This is an issue for breaking stealth unintentionally.

tl;dr: Casing Mode, Toggle Sprint through safe area, Crouch while still holding W to sneak, Bump into wall, Stand up, Resume Sprinting while you're trying to maintain stealth, stealth failed.

I don't really think this will break stealth, like yes I can but if you are smart enough you can avoid it.

Firstly, guard don't care if you sprint in public and private areas. Yes if you sprint in private areas they detect you quicker, but you can just kill or let them escort you out.

Secondly, I sprint in secure areas all the time. Gaurds take a long time to realize, wait and then finally approach the suspicious area (idk why they just stand there, and say what's that) by the time they start approaching I'm already gone, and guards don't care what you do, they only care about bags, tied civilians and bodies so I tend to not sprint there.

I'm not saying this is not a bug, it is, why is it making you uncrouch without pressing shift, they should fix this? but can it break stealth? not really...

I'm simply trying to provide a use case along with my report. To give it priority over a bug that has no use case for it.

The specific situation I had found myself in was during Gold and Sharke. In the secure vault area, you can crouch walk behind the camera pillar, but in front of the guard overlooking the balcony (Even when he's looking right in your direction.) He'll see you for a brief moment, but you get behind the pillar and you can even keep crouch walking into the vault with him still looking at you. He just sees you for another brief moment.

While walking the 13 bags out of the vault and going back in, for more, I had bumped into that purple sign I had mentioned previously, causing me to sprint for a moment while that balcony guard was overlooking the area that I was attempting to crouch walk right in front of him. His detection bar filled up extremely quickly with me sprinting in a secure area within his cone of vision. I had no time to react and he ran at me with cuffs. I hacked his radio as he ran up, but now I had to deal with searching. Soft ruined for me at that moment, but hard ruined for someone without the perks and experience needed to navigate that surprise situation.

Obviously, in a lot of situations it would just end up in a "What was that" situation, but again, I'm trying to supply a use case for why it should be worked on.
