Running (in-game) problem.

[Pvt_Quackers]

Hello everybody! I'm new to this mod and to the BF series..I've always been trying to find a game with teamwork but sadly found nothing until i heard about this mod!

Though PR is huge, its still a mod and i understand that there could be many bugs.So I'd like some help. My problem is in the game, when i try to sprint my character doesn't move his arms as if he was running, it's like I'm just walking faster...He only does it for a split second the moment I touch the shift key.It's a small thing, i know, but it feels weird and doesn't look realistic.I'm not sure if that's normal or not.Not even sure if that's even the right key for sprinting (I didn't change any controls). Just want to make sure. Thanks!

PS: I have seen many youtube vid's where the player sprints and his arms and gun move the way I want so I'm pretty sure its a bug.

okay. what kit or kits were you using when this happens? was your head bobbing up and down? and did it feel like you were gliding?

[Pvt_Quackers]

Don't quite remember what kits I used but i did try 4-5 and it happened on all of them.
Yeah, my head was going up and down, didn't feel like i was gliding, everything normal but the arms and the gun...Those were pretty much stuck.

if I'm right, this has something to do with the animation itself. In PR, you dont run as fast as in BF2 and I got the feeling that the animation only shows at a certain running speed, so in pr you dont run fast enough to activate the animation.

[Pvt_Quackers]

I'm not sure...I thought about that and yet i've seen some gameplay of the mod and it works just fine over there. I also got another problem i forgot to mention...When i jump, THEN the running animation works..I don't know if that's supposed to happen to prevent you from shooting while jumping but i haven't seen that before in the videos. I'm gonna try reinstalling the mod since bf2 works just fine. My guess is it's some weird win 7 glitch.

this happens sometimes when there is lag, or if you're running on certain surfaces, as in at some angles on slopes etc.

probably a glitch or something, you should see the normal sprinting animations most of the time though

[Pvt_Quackers]

I get to run normally in bf2 server, even with terrible lag...I have played the singleplayer in PR and it doesn't work there.I don't think it has to do with lag.I've gone through many surfaces in PR maps and i get the same result .

[Spec]

That's when the ground isn't very even. It's less noticable in vBF2, but happens there, too.

[Pvt_Quackers]

I'll do that. Thanks!

[Pvt_Quackers]

Ugh. I've tried everything. I changed many settings in the game so that i get a better fps count but still..i cant run! I'm sure it doesn't have to do with fps cause when i jump, it does the running animation. Lasts until i touch the ground again. So i can handle that.. And I'm sure it doesn't have to do anything with the ground cause I haven't seen the running animation at all! And i travel across the maps allot... Any ideas?

Out of curiosity, what are your specs?

[dunem666]

This is NOTHING to do with FPS or spec of your machine. Nor is it anything to do with the Animations in PR because they worke perferctly fine.

Heres the prob...
Your using a wireless card in your pc? Youll need to set your metric on the adapter to at least 9000 to stop ping timeouts in game on a server. The amination issue you are experiencing is quite normal for those with ping fluctuations between 70-250 ping.

When you jump, and see the animation... this is normal as its a safe guard from people dolphin diving like in BF2.

If you still experience problems, It might be your ATI graphics card, especially on the radeon HD 4 series. You will need to disable catalyst AI or at least set it to normal. This will also fix any kind of FPS issue.

Then again... you could just have a crappy pc

hope this helps.

[Pvt_Quackers]

What's a wireless card?No i don't have one...My ping is quite normal from where i live..100-150 ping..I see plenty of others with the same, if not, worse ping and they don't have a problem.I use NVIDIA... What do you mean by crappy computer?

[Pvt_Quackers]

Ok! Got it fixed! Well..didn't really do anything, but i was lucky. For some unknown reason,what i have to do is join a game, press ctrl+alt+del....then alt+t if the mouse doesn't appear...(win 7), then automatically it will throw me back in the game and BAM! I can run normally....

I always thought it was a feature of the BF2 game engine that if the ground is even slightly uneven it breaks the running animation.

Right in the beginning of this video you can see the effect in FH2:

This is an old BF2 glitch.
