Stamina Bug...possible workaround

diamok

Did some testing on this for a few days and as far as my account goes, I learned if I login to a toon, or port to a new instance with a toon and then my first form of movement is sprinting on foot, that toon will get the stamina bug...which effects not only mount, but toon stamina (YES, toon stamina as well)...If I move in any other way, the bug does not appear. Of note, I did not testing jumping or dodging as my first form of movement.

Again, this goes for porting to another instance as well, so if you do not have the bug in one location say you're in Rimmen, then you port to Solitude and sprint on foot first thing, you will incur the bug.

This testing was with two of my toons only, but worked exactly the same for both. Obviously more testing over multiple accounts would need to be done to narrow this down more.

The workaround is simple, your first movement after logging into a toon or porting to a new instance CANNOT be sprinting on foot.

With that said, after seeing the 6.1.6 patch was released on September 7th and this bug was not addressed, I have decided to stop my own testing and go with what I have learned as it is apparent Zenimax only cares about what they care about and nothing of their customers concerns. Good luck to rest of you with this bug...try my work around, it might work for you as well.

Take care,

Thanks for this info. I'll give it a try

Addendum to my original post - Something may have changed code wise as I am seeing now your first movement does not matter. If you sprint at all before using your mount, you will incur the Stamina Bug.

Going forward, I would suggest just getting into the habit of hopping on your mount straight away, otherwise you are more than likely going to get the Stamina Bug.

Again though, porting to a different instance will remove the bug from that toon, at that particular time. There is no "fix", there is simply dealing with it.

Take care,

I've been grinding skyshards for my crafting alts and I am seeing THREE different types of Stamina issues:

StamSuck the Wounded Mule (stam drains super fast)
Normal
InfiniStam the SuperHorse (NO stam bar on screen - stam seems infinite)

I have not found a workaround yet, but will try your suggestions.

Really can't believe that this and the city gate dehorse bug were NOT addressed in 6.1.6 =(

There seems to be something to this. Whenever I shrine into a new zone I almost start by sprinting then mounting a few seconds later and often had the quick drain mount stamina bug. A few times today I made sure to mount immediately after loading in and had normal mount stamina.

Weird...but helpful!

I found a possible work around as well. Create a new character. For me, the stamina bug only affected the new character I was playing. When I logged into a character that wasn't "new" I didn't have the bug. So I created a new character just so the character I wanted to play was no longer new. And BOOM. No stamina bug. Maybe this will work for you guys as well if nothing else does and you are able to create a new character.

Will they adress that mount stamina issue ?
Every second day 60/60 horse looks like new one.

I guess that we're still waiting for a fix for this? My unbuffed heavy armour necro tank is currently faster on foot than he is on his horse.
