Unresponsive sprint (Using Gamepad)

ErythorBloodsheild

Created a new thread, per Mod's advice.

While using the gamepad, whether on console or on PC, there are times where you may have to activate sprint multiple times for it to register. Like many others, I've come across this on 2 different platforms, and multiple controllers. It's not a hinderance, but more of a small annoyance.

Is this something that is a known problem amongst the devs? Is it server lag issues or something else?

Thank you for any info you can give.

Same issue on ps5. Have to stop moving then start holding sprint again or roll forward then press it. Very annoying.

Have the same issue on PC using gamepad UI, got to press the sprint button multiple times to activate sprint. Like OP said, not a huge deal, but mostly annoying when sprinting long distances, like in Cyrodiil for eg.

Same issue on PS4 Pro then PS5, using 3 models of controller.
I have to press multiple times the L3 button or roll forward.

As pointed out in the other thread, it is always 3 clicks to get it to work if it doesn’t work on the first click.

There are often times in the game where button presses don’t seem to register, like interacting with NPCs, containers or doors, and I have to click it again. I wonder if that is just what is happening here too and it just ignores the first press.

Not only sprint, but also skills. The biggest challenge to keep Crit Surge up is getting the button press (or release) to register.
I've noticed that skills on L1, R1, L3 and R3 are the most funky ones to get registered, even when I go slow on pressing buttons.

Don't remember where I've read it, but it seems ESO's button design is to register at release of the button, not at pressing it.
Not a biggy, but it can get annoying in certain situations.

It's usually 3 times specifically before it will work. It's been around for years. I've no idea why.

Here's the original thread, created over a year ago but still relevant to this day, that was selectively judged to be out-dated: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/557942/sprint-bug

They're just wasting our time by making us re-post feedback for bug reports that are still relevant but have been ignored, as if trying to sweep it under the rug and act like it's a totally new problem or something...

Yeah, a simple acknowledgment would go a long way.
