Can't run in intro?

[Nice cup of LiberTEA]

I cant sprint/run in the intro so im just dying over and over again. I checked keybindings for both controller and PC and its just not working, what would even cause this?

[TheGrimMoose]

Same here, did you find a fix by chance?

[ZeroData]

Fix it or Im refunding

I'm also having the same issue. I was using an xbox controller. I tried using the keyboard button... also didn't work. Then I tried rebinding the sprint button on the controller... also no luck.

Maybe it's because I unplugged my controller in the main menu and plugged it back in but it was working fine aside from the sprint button so I'm pretty sure this is an issue with the game. I haven't tried starting the game with the controller unplugged just playing with the keyboard. Have you tried this (after a fresh restart)? I wonder if that will fix it.

This is obviously one of the many bugs that need to be fixed... but it would be nice if there was a temp workaround.

Lol this happened to me too, I'm not sure why but it's just really unforgiving and you kind of need to run straight on the shortest path possible to avoid getting eaten. I think it's a bug

[DefectivePlumbus]

It's totally a bug. I played this game on the PS4 and you could very much sprint through the intro sequence to run away in time. lol

[ReZero Eclipse]

Try disabling controller input. Might fix it.

[fransquizo]

you can only sprint in combat sequences lol

sprinting is not unlocked until after the prologue. the speed you have is enough so long as you aren't stopping or turning around to look at the infected chasing you. I've literally never died in the prologue. AND it wouldn't make sense for Joel to be sprinting with while carrying another grown human being.

Did anyone find a solution? I tried like 20 times to take the shortest route and I just keep dying!!

you need to press the W key and hold it

When you get to the part of the prologue where you're running down the hill into the rivine next to the ambulance... DO NOT TURN AROUND. Just look forward and book it!
That's the only spot I struggled with. It took several attempts to realize that I was slowing myself down because I wasn't actually running straight, I was moving mildly with a strafe/side step which is slower than moving straight forward.

You are dumb. What do you think we are doing... I've tried multiple times and this is the ONLY game where I found that speed was a actual issue in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ prologue.
You simply can't move fast enough without running.

Any fixes yet?

Same thing with me but I was staring at the zombie chasing me as I walked
