My character only walks slowly as if encumbered and/or won't sprint

[ralgur]

I am only at 41% encumberance. I tried rebinding the left ♥♥♥♥ to sprint, and the backspace to toggle run walk. Doesn't work. This is not playable in this state. Slow walking everywhere is quite boring.

It's some bug that cropped up with IoS. Jumping while trying to sprint, climbing or using an emote seems to clear it for some reason. Seems to come and go on my game as well. It's annoying but not game killing, hope they fix it soon. Once you clear it you are usually good until you log back in again.

Ok, never tried anything so obvious as jumping when sprinting. Relogging did help. Thanks.

Now, if the game would stop crashing 3 or 4 times per day, that'd be great. :p

I was having this issue and might still be idk, but so far so good. I cleared out my Saved folder, everything.. trashed it. Haven't had an issue yet *fingers crossed*, couldn't play until I did this yesterday :(. See if this helps you too.

Just in case, but check if your inventory has a scroll bar. Since there seems to be no auto sort, you can end up with a lot of stuff "off screen", slowing you down.

There is an autosort; but from memory it's set to custom (ie no sort) for a new character. change it to name, or heaviest; on the inventory screen.

To the OP, yeah, seen this myself. it's bloody annoying. Jump & sprint seems to fix it.
Another variant is when you stop sprinting - or stop entirely -, your stam will continue to decrease. Crouch/jump should stop that.

@OP does this happen whenever you log into a game session?

I play only single player and since i'm not sure if hitting escape while in game pauses it, to be safe i disconnect to main menu. Whenever i reconnect usually i am stuck in walk mode. It's not encumbrance, its not something hidden at the bottom of my inventory space or anything like that. I've read a few things saying that you are walking because the game is still syncing up or whatever. Messing with rolling, weapon sheath/unsheath, messing with shift/ctrl/alt keys both left and right and spacebar cant seem to free it up. Sometimes too it will transition from only walking to only sprinting but without using stamina. On one occasion i found a named Thrall spawn but it was a male and i wanted a female to knock out and bring back to my harem. So i disconnected > reconnected to see if the Thrall would respawn as a female and when i got back into the game I was stuck in walk only. I chanced it and went into combat and pretty quick the walk/run worked like it was supposed to.

Press delete.

Pressing Delete only toggles jog/walk mode, it doesn't fix this issue. in fact it makes it more frustrating. There are times when you stop sprinting, you're standing still but your STILL BURNING STAMINA.

You have to jump or crouch to make it stop, it's really screwed up. After arming your weapon, jumping and runing around it seems to fix it self. This happens EVERY TIME I load up my single player game.

Yes it's right after log in. I was trying the backspace, and everything I could think of. I obviously did whatever it needs to fix it by randomly pressing buttons. At least now I can know what to try.

I managed to fix it by getting ragdolled by an enemy a few times.

If it is a resync issue like i've read then maybe certain things will force a faster resync i dunno? like the one i mentioned about logging in and getting into combat right away? It could also just be coincidence that my game happened to sync up right as i decided to fight. Sometimes the only-walk thing happens for like 5-10 seconds other times it takes longer. I haven't done a whole lot of testing with it.

when stuck in the walk mode bug, climb a wall or some thing, always fixes it, stupid bug

[Yellowbeard]

I started to get this since the Siptah update as well. When it happens...I just start moving forward...hit the key for toggle walk/run twice...jump and then roll (varies...takes a few jumps / rolls sometimes)...then I am able to sprint. Thankfully...only happens when starting up.

[mk_thot]

Having the same issue (single player), it happens every time I exit to the title screen and go back into the game. If I jump while holding the sprint key (L Shift), when I land I'll be stuck sprinting everywhere I go until I jump while holding the sprint key again. I tried remapping the key once and that seemed to work, even after I restored the defaults, but now that doesn't work anymore.

EDIT: If I exit all the way out to desktop and restart I don't have any issue.
