Ultramarathon Help

I am trying to finish DL2 and this is basically my last remaining achievement. I have ~190 hours in the game and I'm still only 1/3 of the way to completing it. At this point, I don't mind just letting the game run and a script or something having me run in circles, but I haven't had any luck getting that to work.

I've tried rubberbanding the sticks on an xbox controller, but the game randomly pauses after ~5 minutes, so that doesn't work. Everything I've tried to get it to not pause hasn't worked as well. I'm playing on single player and I was trying it in a metro tunnel by the fast travel map.

I've also tried using autohotkey to set up a small script to have me run in circles and press a button every so often but this hasn't worked for me either way I've tried:

If using AHK with mouse and keyboard, after a few loops, the game seems to stop recognizing that I'm turning. Maybe the mouse movement is too fast or something?

If using AHK with controller, I was trying to rubberband the controller, and then have it press a button every ~2 mionutes, but any time it tries to press X or any other button, it instead opens the bounty screen. Every single button I've tried does this same thing

Any time I search this achievement, all the responses are for things between 2-5 years ago, and all of them don't work anymore. Has anyone found a way to get this achievement recently without having to sit there and actually pay attention?

If anyone searches this later, i made a very simple ahk script that just walks forwards 5 seconds and backwards 13 seconds, and i set myself up in a hallway under uv light.

It's averaging 12.5km an hour, so i need this to go for about 45 more hours to get the achievement

I made a similar ahk v2 script by ChatGPT. Share to anyone who is looking for:

--
SetTimer(RepeatKeys, 17000)

RepeatKeys() {
Send("{w down}")
Sleep(5000)
Send("{w up}")

Send("{s down}")
Sleep(12000)
Send("{s up}")
}
--

And this achievement is most annoying one so far. So dumb and lame.

I got this achievement naturally by playing, so make of that what you will ^_^;; How many km do you have logged right now? That might influence the method of getting the missing kms.

I wrote a better script, imho. This works with AutoHotkey 2.0.19 (latest version available at the time of writing) and makes the character run back and forth, performing a 180° rotation after 5 seconds of running. You can simply run this script and get the job done. Tested and guaranteed.

I hope someone finds it useful since this achievement is really annoying, I beat the game twice and was around 800 Km.

Instructions:

1. Open AutoHotKey Dash 2.0.19

2. Create a new empty script by clicking NewScript and select your desired save location

3. Open the script with Notepad and paste this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SetTimer(RepeatKeys, 3000)

RepeatKeys() {
Send("{W down}") ;
Sleep(100) ;
Send("{Shift down}") ;
Sleep(50) ;
Send("{Shift up}") ;
Sleep(50) ;
Send("{Shift down}") ;
Sleep(5000) ;
Send("{W up}") ;
Sleep(1000) ;
Send("{Y down}") ;
Sleep(1000) ;
Send("{Y up}") ;
Send("{W down}") ;
Send("{Shift down}") ;
Sleep(50) ;
Send("{Shift up}") ;
Sleep(50) ;
Send("{Shift down}") ;
Sleep(5000) ;
Send("{W up}") ;
Send("{Y down}") ;
Sleep(1000) ;
Send("{Y up}") ;
}

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. In the game set the key to perform 180° rotation to "Y", or just change the Y in the script with the key you are using for that action. You can also increase or decrease the value between these lines: "Sleep(5000)" to make the character run for a longer or shorter time.

5. Run the script by double clicking on it.

6. Enjoy
