running speed bug?

[twiggy]

sometimes my character will randomly move faster than normal for a a second or two, is that normal? its almost like my character randomly sprints

[Death Approaches]

You know it's not normal. :-)

But without knowing your mods, gonna say "no idea which mod but probably a mod" since Fallout 3 is really basic compared to others.

A great example, since there's no sprint in FO3 most people use a mod or just console command that increases fmoverunmult.... some mods use the shift key like later games do, and this is easy to spot.

Some people play with stuff like Tale of Two Wastelands and "under" F:NV but with FO3 content that makes them think they're running FO3 but it's probably something like Project Nevada that adds a stamina that, again, FO3 doesn't even have, and then stops the sprint for a few seconds while it "charges up" some stamina, then burst sprints again...

It'll probably be something like that.

However there is the traditional "run" (which is slow) and "walk" (which is excruciatingly painfully slow!) that's caplock iirc so anything that toggles that will make it this way.

There's simply no way to know, it's blindly guessing beyond what I said already which is, yep, blindly guessing.

could it be because i have my max fps set to 100 instead of 60?

Possibly? The game's physics are tied to the frame rate and being above 60 can cause them to freak out.

i locked both min and max fps to 60 but it still happens lol. its espepcially annoying when youre trying to disarm mines and then your character randomly sprints forwards instead of running

I'm fairly new to Fallout 3 and when I started modding wondered why people rated the sprint mod as essential. I then discovered the frame rate fix (speech sync) and realised I'd been sprinting the whole time at 144 fps! Lot's of other stuff was too fast as well, like the kill cam replay.
