Decided to report it here since nothing's happening with it on feedback. Even if you have auto sprint and sprint toggle turned off, you don't stop sprinting as soon as you release the shift (sprint) key. It massively reduces one's ability to fully control their character. Please fix.

    Just curious, will it be fixed? Do you not understand how this is affecting gameplay? Ill quickly elaborate: On close quarters, if you sprint forward, pressing shift, release shift then change direction while moving forward (W+A or D) you will still sprint, delaying the next shot since you have to fully stop from a sprint in order to fire. This is one of the things that makes close up fights so bad. At this point, do whatever, if you're contempt with the level your game is at and don't plan on improving it at all and you only want to monetize it further, you go ahead and release more stuff people can spend money on, it worked so far, after all the graphs are right, right?

    @Throhjen feels like the developers have something against hold to sprint. maybe they think it can be exploited in some way

    Still not fixed, a million seasons later, no idea why do i still care, or IF you care, just saying, game needs some work.

    Will you ever fix this bug? If you run and strafe left or right after releasing sprint button, you still are in sprint mode and shooting will be delayed. Just how hard is it to make it so you ONLY sprint as long as you HOLD a bound button? That's it, have full control over movement, not this BS that's been happening for 9+ seasons. Any response at least? Let people know if it's gonna happen or not, as in its current state, it drastically reduces game enjoyment (at least mine).

    @Throhjen I feel you, man. I've been trying to catch the devs' attention to long existing Octane bugs for months now that are so simple to fix. And you here have been reporting a much much simpler bug for a year! It's seems like EA's debugging team is severely undermanned.

    Any devs would want to enlighten with what's going on? Why is this still not implemented? Once again, you sprint forward, you start strafing, you stop pressing the sprint button, still strafing (only D for example), as soon as you press W to move forward, the sprint state is maintained, even though you haven't pressed sprint button again, which in turn, in case you want to shoot, will delay your shot because you have to stop sprinting.
