So is there hold to sprint or is the game still unplayable?

[Galah]

I used to play No man sky a while ago and stopped due to getting bored and annoyed with some of it's systems. The biggest one being toggle to sprint. I re-downloaded it today and immediately remembered why I uninstalled it. I looked in the settings but found no way to change it. So did they finally fix the game and I just can't find the setting or is the game still unplayable?

Yes it is still toggle to sprint, which is very playable. Once you get a few upgrades you will sprint and jet pack more than walk.

There is absolutely nothing "unplayable" about having a toggle button for sprint instead of holding it... That's entirely a user end issue...
I only use sprint to increase the speed of melee boost and for the brief moments when my jetpack is recharging...

Not only this but you can use a pet or vehicle to get about a lot more efficiently on dangerous planets.

The game has been playable for years. Today's game is superior to the original release and has been improved beyond anyone's imagination with constant updates.

Press a button instead of hold a button? Yeah...totally unplayable

Cry - baby ...

This guy doesn't know about the jetpack dash yet...lol
Either way, the game never had any problems controlling the player's movement anywhere.

Yeah, it's awful, but not as bad as Starfield which is much more of a true FPS. Why on earth don't devs give the option to non-console newbies we will never know. There is not even a way to mod it in...

Steam Configuration has many options and settings to setup a controller on PC in all sorts of ways. It's nice to be able to double tap custom buttons to change camera view or other combinations to fire emotes or play the music player and other things that suit a custom way to play. There is a setting to walk or run that can probably be customised using Steam Configuration to do what a player wishes for their unique style of play.

Yeah, just as unplayable as Asteroids, because you had to hit the fire button for each shot, instead of holding the button and getting continuous rapid firing.

Well I'm finally going to say it: I play with a controller and the speed of the character is directly linked to how far you move the thumbstick forward. Instant walk, instant jog, instant run. Just use a controller.

may be auto shift sprint only press 'w'

Really? I play on steam deck, which uses analogue sticks for movement too, and I have to use the analogue button to toggle sprint...

"Unplayable" is an opinion, not a fact. Thousands of players play the game just fine.

Crap, now I have to stop having fun, shame I didn't get annoyed as well, I might not have had fun then!!!

I like the toggle for sprint... in fact it annoys me when I play other games and they don't have that option. Its all about perception, there is never going to be a game that is perfect for yours or even my style of play.
