The Steed Mundus Stone causes the "ice-skating" effect

Moonshadow66

The game had an "ice-skating" bug last year already, but this new one is different: it looks basically the same, but it's caused by The Steed stone.

A while ago, I noticed this with a character which was then the only one that had The Steed activated, so I thought it could be related (because of the speed buff, I strongly assume). For this character, The Steed was/is the only mundus stone. And none of my other characters had this issue, nor the Steed activated.

Today, I activated it with another character, and as soon as it was, I started ice-skating again. This character has two mundus stones activated (Twice-Born Star set), but this doesn't make any difference, I tried it singlewise also.

I tested how or where this mainly happens, but turns out this is absolutely random. I can walk/run straight ahead like normal, and then suddenly the ice-skating starts. I can turn left/right etc.. it really starts randomly.

But now I know it's the Steed that causes this. Please could you take a look at this? I also sent a bug report already.
Thanks

Edit: important: the character for which I activated The Steed today and wears the Twice-Born Star set, has 7 Legendary Divines trait items. Though, the speed is the same like with the other character which does not wear this set or 7 Divines traits (only 2, I believe it was).
Only at random times, my character seems to speed up for a few seconds, but more often than not, she's slow like my other characters, including the other (first) one with the Steed.

Double post, sorry.
Too often I quote instead of editing a posting of mine lol

Anyone who's also using the Steed stone, could you please walk a few steps until the ice-skating effect starts and confirm? Plus send a bug report, too? Thanks a lot
I really don't want to run around like this anymore, it looks ridiculous and is embarrassing. Also, I don't get the full speed.

This part of the latest patch notes is kinda funny, I had a good laugh:

"Mundus Stone

The Steed
Fixed an issue which was preventing the Divine Armor Trait from applying properly to the Health Recovery bonus provided by this boon."

The movement bug was not even touched! My two characters which are using the Steed are still walking like ducks on weed, yet they never had and health recovery issue with this mundus stone. So will this only be fixed if I'd resubscribe, or if enough subscribers report this bug? Or will you just keep ignoring the issue?

As far as I am concerned, I won't buy the new (or any other) DLC as long as this is not fixed. Same goes for the loading screens.

Still not fixed in the today's patch?? WHEN the hell will this be fixed then???

Btw, this is NOT just a cosmetical issue, my two characters using the Steed are much slower than intended (even slower than normal), PLUS one of them uses 7 Divines traits which should it make EVEN faster, but instead it's slower. Not to mention how ridiculous it looks like when they walk or run!

I've recently switched to the Steed Mundus Stone and have starting noticing this bizarre effect during stealth; it looks really stupid!

I've noticed it in every other position^^ Then again, I'm not in stealth anymore too often nowadays.

Do you happen to have the Steed active while wearing the Twice Born Star set? (Eventually with up to 7 Divines traits?) Because I've noticed that my character which does NOT wear this set stopped doing these odd animations (but still has the Steed active), but my other character that does wear the TBS set including the Steed is still buggy. It kinda looks like she's sprinting, but in slowmotion. And it's too slow altogether.
