Sprinting issue (very slow sprint)
Hey everyone! Problem: around 25-50% of the time when i press and hold the sprint button, my character starts to sprint really slow - slower than walking. It looks kinda like he's running on ice. There are no frame rate drops or lag, just the same sprinting animation just really slow movement.....anyone have any advice or having the same exact issue? help would be much appreciated....thanks!!! (^~^)/

Well, first thing to check : how heavy is your stuff ?
If you wear less than 5% of your max weight equip : you speed is maximal, your rolls are like a rabbit
6-25% : your speed is good, your rolls are fast
26-50% : normal speed, normal rolls
51-100% : slow speed, slow run, useless rolls
101%+ : almost impossible to move, no sprint, no roll

Just to increase what AngHell said:

There are 4 ways to increase your max Weight:

* Level up your Endurance
* Havel's Ring -> +50% max Weight
* Ring of Favor and Protection -> +20% max Weight
* Mask of the Father -> +5% max Weight

As you can see you must lose other stats or rings in order to increase your max weight. So you must choose :)
well you see, its not that im constantly super slow sprinting, it happens sporadically seemly without reason...as far as stats im 43 endurance and run shadow armor so the load is 14.3/83. I do super light rolls and sprint really fast its just that he runs on ice every so often for no reason sometimes its like 50% of time i press sprint...thanks for your time

Are you using DSfix?
Unlocking the frames, and setting them higher than 30 (the common setting people have is 60) can sometimes cause problems with sprinting, especially when sprinting in water.

if you are, try turning off the Unlocked frames, and see if the problem still happens
Yeah i am running DSfix with unlocked frames, so i'll try that thanks!!!
