running-speed , walking-speed , player movements velocity , slow as jam , cheat-hacking
i really dont like the speed the player is moving in game . is it a snail-simulation ?
and why no jumping ? god !
i am out of the zone where you feel comfortable watching a hampered slowcoach pacing through rooms taking minutes . maybe i am to old . i just dont have the patience anymore .

my mind is way faster in going trough the rooms , and i dont have the bio-feedback of my legs while playing a computer game . thus i am just bored . it is the same thing as in games like outlast or amnesia,the dark decent , i could only play with fun after changing the configs of movement speed . is was a clear cheat in outlast because this way it was easy to evade the monster , but i could have changed that values too .

it is no fun to creep in action game .

i searched a little around but havent found a method to adjust movements-speed . i apreciate a direct hack in config . some people tried a mod on enemy config and dicovered all that editing of files had no impact on player-movement : see here : http://steamcommunity.com/app/214490/discussions/0/618458030654236804/#p5 , nathan .

so , anyone know a workaround ? :)

Learn to speedrun the game. It takes under 5 hours even on unoptimal run for entire game. Do you know how the silent running glitch works?
Have you tried modding the player.bml? I think it might work for you
I also make some mod for this game check out the modding guide of This game

But isn't that exactly the same stuff I tried modding and found to have no effect ingame? What do your lines look like and how are you sure they work?
Because back when I extensively tried editing movement, I even tried insane values just to see if anything was different, and it wasn't, OP even linked and referred to my conclusion on this matter.
I think that's something he should tried for himself,and it's pretty easy to do that.
just do it lol

Also,have you guys mod the acceleration value of the player? Angular velocity values?

I honestly don't know, it's some time now since I did my frustrating experimentation, and I don't explicitly mention angular velocity in my comments I made earlier, but I do say I tried every single line in the steering section so I think I tried it, I vaguely remember simply making all of those lines very high to see if it would at the very least break the game, which it didn't, to my disappointment :D

i will try that silent running glitch thing , i googled it a little , and that seems to be a kind of workaround , thanks for tip , zorlag . otherwise i believe in nathans foundings , but ok , i might try to edit the player.bml , just to be sure , sigh .
thx all ,so far .)

why no jumping because if you jump alien kill you easy stomp stomp stomp and die

yes , you right , if i want to attract the alien into my traps , i awkwardly have to pick the hammer-thing and search a surface to bash .
yeah , agreed , to prevent to meet the alien , better stay at start . and copy as much lines as possible . to make a monster post . yeah , but ok , it is a fear driven game , and fear to not be fast enough to flee .
