Look into the keyboard settings.

'New Autowalk accessibility feature ensures comfort for players with hand or wrist issues'

(i got no issues at all and quite enjoy some of the accessibility features like that tho xD)

It's going to be great for me in general. Number one reason I sprint-I can't take the idea of walking all the way there. You can only admire the same bit of natural beauty for so long before wanting to see something else.

It works for me. You have to activate it in accessibility settings first

I usually hear podcasts or so while play and due more mundane stuff. Keeps things from getting boring. Or watch twitch on a 2nd monitor.

I wonder how it behaves, doubt it works better than my own implementation ^^.

I'll check it out later after updating the game...

yup, it's z key but you have to flip on the functionality under accessability.

I swore I turned it on before even loading any game, but it didn't work, so in-game I went to the menu and then it worked

I always just wedged an unsharpened pencil against the screen. So finicky. Coins would be so much better.

OMG yeah I was also thinking it's broken, a bit useless from the UI perspective if we can already assign a key.

I agree that autowalk is awesome. The only thing that frustrates me is that Z isn't that easy for me to hit. I really want to remap it to caps lock, but for some reason the game will not let me map the caps lock key to any binding in the game.... Don't really understand that. Is there something about caps lock that Hinterland cannot use that key for mapping a keybind to?

I remember when I was 12 year old playing Brotherbund STUNTS and had my middle finger fingertip of right hand a bit backwards (num lock arrow for accelerating the car). It´s time to TLD "W" do the same with the left hand
