Walking Speed

[Profeze]

Can the walking speed be increased? I'm not sure if I glossed over it in the settings or we're just stuck with what we get. But the movement is SLOWWWW.

There is a sprint button. That should speed things up a bit?

Enable CAPS LOCK to be in "Run" mode.

It used to be that "up" on the left thumbpad would toggle between walk/run, but that broke in the last update. As Jack said, using CL on the keyboard is a workaround.

Seriously ... they broke the walk/run toggle in the last hotfix which was on the 11th April and they still haven't fixed it. Not providing a fix almost immediately for that is outrageous as it's so fundamental to the game play in VR!

Note to the devs:

How about depressing the up on the thumbpad is run, releasing it is walk ... forget the toggle, it's not needed. Oh, and for the hundreth time, get rid of the head position for direction control as nobody wants that, use the direction of the controller instead.

Great game but being seriously hampered in VR by poor locomotion input design and introduced bugs.

One of the xbox controller buttons toggles run/walk for me if I play with that. However I cannot get it to toggle no matter what I press / hold down when using the Oculus Touch controllers. Anyone have any idea how? In the meantime I'm playing with the xbox controller which seems to work better.

[Baggy MacDouche]

Did you actually bother to read any of the previous comments?

[IanL]

lol ... fair enough. I personally never run for hours in the game and it's really not that much pressure to press the pad down but I suppose it's easy enough to toggle ... if it only worked ;)

[Daveyboy]

Yeah I did but the caps lock key, and keyboard in general is hard to find when you're wearing a VR headset. Hell I don't even know which direction the computer is in most of the time, let alone find and press a specific key on the keyboard every time I want to toggle walk/run.

I might see if the xbox controllers and touch controllers work at the same time. If using the touch controller doesn't stop other controllers maybe I could use something like voice attack to provide voice control over walk/run till they fix this...

[Daveyboy]

Hmm actually I can't test it because for some reason when I try to play with touch now, my hands no longer show up in-game and I can't interact with anything / press buttons etc. However pressing the thumbstick on the left touch controller now toggles walk/run so it's basically started treating the touch controllers as a gamepad *shrugs*

[IanL]

Exactly, the keyboard workaround is completely impractical, unless you are prepared to use it in constant run mode.

I still can't believe they'd break it and not bother fixing it. I get the impression VR has simply been bolted on as a last minute thing and they are not really that on board with it.

Using Voice Attack would be a practical workaround though ... great idea! Thanks!

[Daveyboy]

My bad - the motion controls were set to disabled in the settings. Got my hands back, and using the xbox controller to toggle run/walk worked okay-ish. TBH though I found some things like number pad codes hard to work properly using the touch controls (things like pressing a number button would press it twice etc) so ended up going back to the gamepad anyway!

[Scobee]

Just got the game yesterday and the walk/run toggle works fine on my xbox one controller.

[Baggy MacDouche]

Might just be a Vive(Touch too?) issue.

[Daveyboy]

Yeah it's fine on xbox controllers, just a problem on touch controllers. But I just went to xbox controller as I found pressing some buttons etc difficult on the touch controllers anyway. Finished the game now.

[krylke]

please fix the toggle walk/run on the vive controllers and make walking direction where I point my controller, not my head while u are at it. Thanks
