Sprinting issues

[Gael]

Anyone else experiencing problems with the xbox controller as to sprinting? Everything worked fine yesterday, today keeping A pressed only results in a short sprint, then energy bar refills and big boy goes back to walking as if i released the A button... seems to work fine with the alternative config, but i'd rather stick to the one I used so far.
Controller works fine as tested in control panel... seems issue bound to the game itself.
Anyone else forced to enjoying peaceful walks in the nature as I do in game?

Its been like that for me since day one..but its also because I have to use the LS to sprint since they ...neglected....to give the evade/jump button on the alternate controller option sprint.

I had a hell of a time on the jumping section near the infiltrator...because it keeps dropping sprint.

It worked fine for me till yesterday evening... Still I lost about 10000 "souls" (sigh) in the jumping section with spiders in the infiltrator area.
Shame, I had gotten used to that config...using the alt one mid game is annoying. just adds up annoyance to the fact I cannot use the clawsomething weapon worshiper drops coz 1H strong attack with magic pillar erupting from the ground crashes my game. SO far, too many strenghts based weapons, too litle faith based. been using my staff since always...
But yes, the sprinting thing is the biggest bugging thing for me.

I would also prefer to have sprint mapped to a button rather than a stick since it feels very unwieldy and dis-comfortable for me (similar alternate setup like in Dark Souls 2 where you could pick different controller lay out). I plan to remap sprint function with help of Joy2key tool to some different button when I figure out what is used/not used.

up... anyone else having problems with A button not sprinting?

Me too. Press A and my guy goes to run but the run only lasts a little while, well before the stamina is used up. Sometimnes he just does a long jump & roll instead. I've been trying out some new tactics involving running and bashing some particularly nasty enemies but the run button is so unreliable I gave up. Makes some enemies really difficult to deal with.

looks tome as long as you keep sprinting perfectly straight ahead, the sprint is succesful... as soon as you slightly change direction with left stick, the sprint ends. It doesnt even seem to depend on the change of direction itself...even walking when u change direction the big guy seems to "stumble" and slow down.... try it out, tell me our impressions. Hope the devs will notice this

First it was the problem with the shield button, now I have this problem too. Or maybe I've had it all along but only noticed it now that I need to make long curved sprints with the gladiator boss.

I'm not sure but I think these things happen only when you circle to the left.
