Slow keeper movement after latest update

[JohnMeister]

Is it just me or does the movement feel really slow and sluggish since the latest update? It feels like moving horizontally is faster.

I've the same problem, when moving in certain direction my character is very slow, I thought it was my controller but it's the only game where it occurs. Does anyone got a fix to this ?

[pdobrien]

Seeing this as well. Seems to slow down when changing directions and not go full speed again until I let go of the thumbstick and push it all the way again. Very frustrating.

Just commenting to say: experiencing same behavior.

I don't have that option in my game.

It's an option in Steam, in your game's options in your library. Note that even after doing that, it still feels "a little off". At least the devs know that this issue exists, so I'm sure they'll look into things ^_^

I don‘t think this is the same issue. I get slowed down as soon I start a new run. The thread you quoted is a few days old. The problem with slow movement only occurs since yesterday for me.

Yeah, same for me... just since the Halloween update.

Ok, I thought I felt it too so we checked and at least in my case it is all perception. Maybe from so much of the time in game coming once you have speed upgrades? Something, but at least on our side, we are not able to replicate.

Give it another look and if it still feels off then all the info you can on what you're seeing will help, and a report to the support desk. :)

I'm noticing:

1. Slower character in general

2. Character "sometimes" moves faster when I use the D-pad instead of the left control stick

Hmm, now that D-pad thing...that's really strange. What controller are you using if I can ask?

Wired Xbox 360 controller. Had no issues with movement before the most-recent patch.

Thank you for all the reports! I investigated it now, and indeed there is some strangeness going on, probably coming from the deadzone setting. It was already present before, but might have changed in magnitude with the last patch. It only happens with controller, but there is also an issue with keyboard, where the keeper goes a bit faster diagonally.
In any case, i found a much easier way to calculate the combined input from keyboard and gamepad, and apply this. With that, the keeper goes at the constant, correct speed.

We'll check what the best path to patching this is.

I just stopped by to report this issue but I can see that the dev is already aware. Same thing here, left control stick moves my keeper slower than the Dpad does. I haven't tested on Keyboard. I totally thought it was my controller until I found this forum post. Thank you Bippinbits for all your hard work!

[JohnMeister]

I hope the fix comes soon. The bug makes the game unplayable for me.

[pdobrien]

Excellent, thanks! My experience is that if I start off with a straight vertical or horizontal from a stop, it goes at the correct speed, but if I then try to change direction, it slows down.
