Sprint Bug

Knockmaker

I have recently noticed that there is an input delay with sprinting. When I press the sprint button, it takes 1, sometimes 2-3 seconds for the character to start sprinting. It doesn't happen when mounted. In fact, other movement buttons seem to have no input delay either (excluding the usual laggyness). Also, it mostly occurs when in Cyrodiil. It might seem little, but it is irritating.

Can anyone confirm this issue? Do you also have it? If so, since when?

I've noticed sprint being very buggy lately. I just put in on the "does not work" list with cc break, stuck in combat, your mount is busy, your siege is busy, cannot repair door at full health-when door is at 30% health, cant use skills and way too many other things to list here.

But yes I have noticed my sprint seems bugged in Cyrodiil

It's server related and very annoying. Since the server is the law of the game when it's overloaded with calculations and commands it takes it a bit to be like "Oh yeah, you're sprinting now and here is your new speed."

Just another new feature of Cyrodiil. ESO don't care which is why they routinely gut features and make more stuff server-side which creates way more lag and delay. Don't expect anything to be fixed any time soon.

Yes, in Cyrodiil. I don't remember exactly when I first noticed but it was during the past couple months.

I'm going to [snip] add my two cents, since it is rather recent. I've observed that the sprint function will randomly decide to not work at all. It doesn't matter whether it is on foot or mounted, as the button will fail to work at all. Mounting and dismounting does not fix the issue. Crouching does not fix the issue. The only way to fix the issue is by going back to the character selection menu and logging back in on the character you were using. Sprint will be restored back to normal until it randomly decides it will stop working again and you have to repeat the same "fix".

This issue is independent of any of my characters as it happens in all of them.

I have a feeling that the new CP system has broken something in the code, since it is not the only speed related issue I've observed, the other being characters who run way too fast, even faster than mount speed. This might not be related at all, but I would look up wherever the speed calculation algorythms are to make sure the right variables are being passed onto the functions.

I get the sprint bug where sprinting doesn't work at all. Seems to happen on any toon and at any given time. I have been experiencing this since prior to CP 2.0 as well.

Knockmaker

Yeah, I have begun to notice it a lot more lately myself as well..

This is very noticeable at vampire stage 4 as the stealth kicks in WAY past 3 seconds of sprinting

Hate to bring up an old post, but figured i'd reply to this rather than create a whole new topic on the same thing.

I originally played on Xbox, and now on PC. Using different controllers for both. This seems to still be an issue. Was there ever an official response to this? Sometimes i'll have to click sprint a couple times before it finally decides to sprint.

Thanks.

I don’t think so. I am having to click R3 three times a lot more often now to get sprint to work, it has gotten much worse in the last few weeks or so.

As someone else mentioned, often my character shuffles for several slow steps before going into sprint, it’s aggravating.

Gotcha. Yeah, seems like a long running issue that isn't get much attention, nor acknowledgment. It's certainly no deal breaker, just a silly nuisance.

I get this too. It happens very often and is super irritating.
Tested on PS4, PS5 with PS4 game, PS5 with PS5 game, with a total of 3 controllers.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Does the devs know about this issue when using controller/gamepad?

+1. PC/NA, XB1X/XBSX Gamepads

I've experienced this sprint issue recently (and for a while) in Cyrodiil, Battlegrounds, Imperial City/Sewers, Overland PVE, Delves, Public Dungeons, Group Dungeons, as well as my own player house (all the activities that I've participated in this past year).

As others have said, it sometimes takes multiple Left-Stick clicks (gamepad sprint button) before the game realizes you want to sprint. It's like sometimes the 1st click (sprint: on) and 2nd click (sprint: off) are totally ignored and sprint only activates after the 3rd click (sprint: on, again). And no, I'm not spamming the button, I wait a couple of seconds and then press it again.

Very annoying indeed.

Edit:
Also, not sure if it matters, but I have been using the "Steed's Blessing" (increase out-of-combat movement speed) green slottable CP on all of my characters. I also use Ring of the Wild Hunt occasionally in casual PVE stuff but I get the sprint bug with or without it.

Greetings,

We have closed this topic as it was originally created in January 2021. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

Thank you for your understanding
