Sprint not sprinting?
I have an unusual issue. No matter what key I map sprint to, it has no effect on gameplay. No increased speed, no change in animations. I have tried tapping the key, holding the key both alone and with movement keys, but there is no increased movement. At first I thought that perhaps sprint was only used when mounted, but I notice that my PC controlled party members can move alot faster than me in combat. (This remains true no matter which one I control)
I hope I am missing something simple, otherwise I appear to have found a rare bug. I have seen no similar posts.
here is my dxdiag if it helps

I have also posted about the directx crashes in cutscences, but I have all but illiminated that problem by setting post processing to medium. (All other settings at max. 🙂 ) Not sure if the two could be related. I also had the gender swap bug, but simply started new character with no problem.
To clarify, yep, you can sprint/gallop on a mount in SP, and sprint as normal in MP, but NOT as part of regular on-foot gameplay. That button is ping/search.
Your followers will kind-of sprint to catch up with you in SP, but they'll also do impossible things like teleporting out of boxes and up cliffs. And don't even get me started on the ninja horses.
