I have had the same issue. It appears to be a bug/defect and you just get stuck and can't sprint no matter which buttons you press. After 5-10 seconds, the character will start sprinting again automatically without input. Sometimes changing to Knife or firing gets it out of this state and you can sprint again. I have turned auto sprint off which appears to reduce or remove the issue:
If you are experiencing this, it's recommended to:
- Verify the gameplay setting "Double Tap Forward Sprint" is set to Sprint, not Auto Sprint.
- Adjust controller deadzone settings to reduce input glitches.
Steps to Trigger the Bug:
- Start moving forward using the left analog stick.
- Press the L3 button to sprint normally.
- Stop moving after sprinting briefly.
- Start moving forward again without pressing the sprint button.
- Observe that the character may start sprinting automatically without input after a delay (around 5-10 seconds).
- The sprint controls become temporarily unresponsive for about 45-60 seconds causing sprint to stop working even if the button is pressed.
- A single shot fired usually cancels this auto sprint glitch and restores normal sprint control.
