Sprint Bug

Anyone got any workarounds or solutions for this bug?

For those who don't know it's when you sprint in a fight and for some reason you get stuck in sprint. No skills will go off because the game thinks you are sprinting. It's a real pita, was in some big fights last week with my guild and was pretty much useless. Well, more useless than I usually am... ;)

    Sprinting until out of stamina fixes it for me. Given I survive.

    Run in circles until you’re out of stamina. Seriously, it’s a crude fix which brings a brand new problem of having zero stam, but it works.

    Try 1) double tab shift it's a quicker fix than "running out of stamina"
    2) I'm wondering if outfits make a difference. Try running with/without and outfit or a costume

    This and the wrong weapon display bug are super annoying

    So @Izanagi.Xiiib16_ESO , your advice is to get nekkid? lol!

    Thanks guys, will try doing that next time. It is so frustrating, especially in the middle of a huge fight.

    Sounds like either a computer issue or an internet upload issue. Computer issue could be how fast you have a key set to repeat. So if you hold down a key for long enough your sending 1000000 sprint commands to the server. Or your internet upload speed is so slow that whenever you try to do another action your overwriting it or something.

    Could be an eso bug i dunno.

    I’ve had this bug on console many of times. I think it has something to do with animation cancelling and clicking sprint. Like it gets locked up on the que.

    Tapping your sprint key again tends to fix it, but not necessarily always. But who doesn't love accidentally running off keep walls into the zerg waiting below?? While we're at it, anyone have a fix for the roll dodge bug where your roll dodge button stops respecting directional input and just makes you go backwards?

    The bug is caused by getting a micro-loadingscreen while holding sprint. During the load screen the game "forgets" the state of your sprint key, and does not register that i has been released (it still thinks you keep it held down). As mentioned, pressing and releasing the sprint key lets the game catch up on the state of the key, returning you to normal.

    Oh, that's very interesting.

    Anyway, happened to me in a big fight and mashing the shift key cleared it so that's grand. :)

    Had an interesting variant of this bug where I got locked out of sprint. All skills were unavailable for use, couldn't use light or heavy attacks, couldn't mount up or sneak, couldn't weapon swap. The only available actions I could take were walk, not walk and fish. Luckily I was on a fishing expedition...

    It happened in Cyrodiil when I was tracking down my last fishie for the region. I was on DC and had traversed the map to get to the only Ocean fishing holes on the entire map, which the Devs evily placed directly in front of one of AD's main gates. Everything was fine until I slipped off a rock and started getting nibbled by slaughterfish. I got one of those micro-loading screens while they were eating me, then managed to make it back to shore before dying (barely lol). After that, everything was locked out, as mentioned above. It took another couple of hours of slowly lumbering from water hole to water hole, but happy ending... I'm now a Master Anger! XD

    Looking back and reading above, it looks like getting those micro-loading screens doesn't just affect your movement state while sprinting but all of your movement states. My best guess is there was some sort of a flag that said I was still swimming and therefore unable to select any skills, attack, ride, sneak, or weapon swap.

    And no, hopping back in the water and out again, letting the fishies nibble me again, and tapping the sprint key didn't help; I tried all of that while affected by the bug. Luckily everything was back to normal once I exited Cyrodiil.

    This bug continues to be a major issue. Has ZOS even acknowledged it?

    I sprint a lot. It's something I do frequently in combat without even thinking about it. So when the bug occurs, it's extremely jarring and frustrating. Multiple times a night, I'll have an opponent stunned and in execute range and I'll run circles around them instead of finishing them off.

    I've known the solution for years. This bug has always been an issue to varying degrees. However, it's become more of an issue over the past few months. Further, tapping shift does not always immediately fix it anymore as has been previously noted.

    Of course, not all bugs impact all players equally. For me and others I know, this bug is impacting my performance *at least* a few times an hour. Sometimes it's a few times a fight.
    This and the wrong weapon display bug are super annoying
    I agree, that is another bug that is driving me insane because I tend not to look at my bars.
