Sprinting in PR

[Madar_al_Fakar]

Is it normal that I can't run half of the time in PR? I have the stamina, I hold W and Shift in the same time BUT the soldier walks at inept jog speed instead of running! In order to run I have to mash and beat the shit out of my Shift button to get my soldier to run. I know from personal experience that running in real life is not as difficult as presented here in the game.... ;(
No the key is not broken it works fine for everything other then for running in PR. It appears that it's randomized at when u can run normally and when you can't.

You need at least 50% sprint energy to initiate the sprint

The only real issue with sprinting is when it's at 100% and refuses to start, in which you need to jump to empty the bar and wait for it to fill again

Took me years until I realized that so yeah .. iirc it doesnt read in the manual.

This, I always try to keep my sprint at 50% so I can get out of town if it starts getting hairy.

Is this a thing, I've never experienced this? Do we know what causes the bug?

Cheers, Murkey.

I've never experienced it either, or heard anyone say they have this problem, till now that is...

Are you sure your k/b isn't screwed up or something Sgt.BountyOrig? Does anyone else have this issue?

I do have the problem sometimes. It is really annoying and you have to jump out all stamina.
go prone, getting up and go prone again sometimes solves it.
I yet have to find out what combination of actions results in this, I think it has something to do with being prone, doing something like changing weapons/reloading and standing up the same time.

Can't play PR upcoming months, so cant test it. It is annoying but only happens occassionally. Easy to fix, you are only screwed if it happens when youre getting shot.

I had this 2 days ago on Silent Eagle, basically spawned on a FOB and sprint was at 100%. No matter how many times I pressed shift the character started spriting, but stopped a few frames after, kinda looks a bit like you're lagging (maybe desync??). I've only had it a handful of times so it seems to be very rare, and all the times were when I was respawning.

Happens sometimes but double tap w never failed me and fixes shift.

I did a fresh reinstall recently, and I know of several other PR players experiencing this (looks like there's a couple in this thread)

Just tends to happen randomly after a spawn, I believe it's a BF2 carry over as I've had it on Karkand several times too

It just never seemed particularly important for anyone to report this bug since it came from DICE themselves, so we all just relegated it to the back of our minds as something that was 'hard bugged'

[Spook]

That bug happens for a long time already but very rarely.

[Madar_al_Fakar]

I'll pay attention to to that 50% of stamina from now on, I think it happened to me even when it was over 50% tough.

[Acecombatzer0]

Had the glitch before, you can fix it by dropping your kit and and picking it up again

Yes, it's been around for ages. Surprised you haven't noticed to be honest.

[CR8Z]

It happens, but I just squat, spin around clockwise three times, stand up and double tap W. All fixed!

[DzCrow]

it easy bug when u have 100% and u press shift and cant run just tap w twice

[Sgt.BountyOrig]

Didn't know you could fix it on the spot.. I've been playing since before 'drop kit' though so I probably never tried

If you fly a heli on Muttrah close to the floor in M13, at some sections you'll explode instantly (believe this is due to MEC off-map artillery being here)
Flying around M1 just outside the map on Operation Archer will cause you to ram into an invisible wall (unknown)
Parking a vehicle just the right distance away from a another object and trying to run through the gap will cause you to die instantly
Jumping off certain ladders early on some maps (Dragon Fly, Beirut) will cause your soldier to be moved to the wrong position, you will appear outside the intended play area and cannot get back in
Sometimes logistics trucks freshly spawned in main will simply not have any crates in them despite not dropping anything yet
Mumble doesn't always assign you to the right team, or even the right server (rare, but the voices ARE REAL!)

[Madar_al_Fakar]

I think that the 50% needed to initiate (lol "initiate" like it's some complicated and difficult task to do) running is too much, should be lowered to something like 25% or 20%.
