When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm)
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? You don't stop sprinting as soon as you release the sprint button, even if you have auto sprint or toggle disabled
What should be happening instead? stop sprinting as soon as releasing the sprint button
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? run-press shift to sprint and keep running-release shift while running and you will keep on sprinting.

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.

  • Not yet fixed of course, nothing's fixed, only more bugs are being introduced. Nice priorities, nice player retention, very nice development.

  • New season on the horizon, this is going to be it, the time they realize the importance of this bug, the time devs show initiative and fix what's important.

  • Not fixed, I repeat, NOT fixed...if anyone could shed some light on why it's not being fixed, that would be great. All you have to do is add an option to have sprint on manual, only as long as i press shift (sprint bind), that's it.

  • Are there any developers left? Or did the cosmetics department get outsourced and the game's on cosmetics/mtx life support?

  • I bring this issue back into highlight as i tried a few games and apparently nothing has changed for the better. People are still trying to circumvent via any means issues that you refuse to fix, issues that shouldn't exist from the first competitive season. Every other respectable BR has a fully manual sprint option, but this does not, did development stop and the game is on MTX life support?

  • any chance for a dev reply as to why  this feature/fix not getting addressed?
