Is the humming-bird suposed to be so super slow in flying or is that a bug in my game ?

[christophlenert]

First of all i super much love the game so far amazing graphics great story but whenever i have to change into the humming bird i fly so slow (almost like not move at all ) that any butterfly
( most likly ) would fly faster.

I am not in slow motion mode or something so i guess it might be a bug ? Would be awesome if somone could help me fixing this. ( because at one point i supose to fly down a long way with the humming bird and that is almost imposible to do with that super slow speed)

Another thing i noticed while playing the game is that when i have soul transfered in one of the ducks it seems that no matter how many times i press the Space Bar i seem not to gain any altitude ( then again perhaps that is only ment to keep altitude ? )

Hummingbirds do not fly automatically. They only dash from place to place. They hover, otherwise. Just like IRL. Press the key for [Dash] and they zip from one spot to the next, stopping when you let go of the button used to [Dash]. Hold down the key or controller button for [Dash] and they move rather quickly. You will see the wind move at the sides as you fly quickly. (Lines to the side of the bird, visually showing the quick movement.
The ducks do not fly high, they fly slowly, at low altitude, using gliding to move from place to place, and to land. You need to learn how to glide to a ledge and land, or the water's surface, for example. Short bursts of wing flapping act like a small hop/jump to go over small obstacles on the ground.

On controller: press A button

Ah okay yes that works , thank you very much for the help ^^

I'm also having a problem with the hummingbird. Ok I get it, you have to use dash but I have to repeatedly hit A just to get across small distances and it just creates this (nauseating) sensation of stop and go that's really odd.
I'm watching Youtube videos where people seem to be able to fly without the constant dashing-pause-dashing so I'm guessing there's an issue with my game but I can't fix it

I thought it was a controller problem but the same thing happens with the keyboard. Hummingbird just dashes for a couple of meters (if that!) and just stops.

Hi,
no worries there is an option to turn the tapping off. You can go to Options->Accessibilty and there you can select:
Hummingbird: Hold Button for dash
Then you just need to hold the button instead of tapping it constantly.

I don't know how I missed that reply but I'm very glad I checked again because I had all but given up on the game and it was bugging me! Thanks a lot!

Nothing I do makes the hummingbird go any direction fast and I can only seem to get it to go (SLOOOOWLY) up or down. CRTL makes it go down, W makes it go up. Holding the Shift key (which seems to be the Dash key?) makes to stop moving altogether. What am I supposed to be doing on a keyboard?

[Rensis Coren]

Aydena, Sprint and Dash are different actions. By default, Sprint is mapped to Shift, and Dash is mapped to Space. You can always go to Options > Controls > Keyboard for a reminder.

Thank you for this! I was wondering why the hummingbird was slow too.
