@ZOS_GinaBruno The 3.2.8 update introduced a bug that breaks the mounted large speed boost that is intended to occur when tapping the sprint key. I confirmed this was an intended feature by digging up the beta patch notes from 0.16:
Perhaps it has something to do with this item in the 3.2.8 Patch Notes:
Edited by zyk on November 20, 2017 10:25AM I tested this on two different characters using the ravSpeed addon. Be careful using this addon. It still performs its function, but it is very old and may cause other issues.ESO 0.16 Patch Notes wrote:Mount sprint has been adjusted. Pressing the sprint key rapidly now results in large speed boosts, but the horse’s stamina will deplete quickly. Holding the key grants a smaller speed boost that can be maintained even when stamina is fully depleted.

✭✭✭✭✭Oh wow I always thought that was the server reacting to lag and moving me forward faster to where I would’ve been if I hadn’t been lagging while tapping sprint (IE the server thought I was sprinting because of lag even when I wasn’t because I had rapidly let go so client side didn’t think that... so I was going sprint according to server and normal according to client and the burst of speed was just the game reconciling the two positions....
Very intetesting to see it was actually a feature at one point.

✭✭✭✭✭It was a functioning feature from 0.16 through 3.2.8. I used it every play session for years.
I think mounted tap sprint was broken when a mounted movement bug introduced in 3.2 was fixed in 3.2.8.0 -

So I have been buying an expensive mechanical keyboard to fix something I thought was a problem on my end, and now you are telling me its a problem of the game itself? Great...just great...

No, that's just the reason you gave yourself for buying an expensive mechanical keyboard. A nice keyboard is always its own reward.7-day PVP campaign regular 2016-2019. Templar/mageblade/magDK. Requiem, Legend, Knights of Daggerfall. Currently retired from the wars.2 -

✭✭✭✭✭@ZOS_GinaBruno This issue has not been addressed in the most recent PTS. I'm concerned someone at ZOS may have broken this feature without realizing it while fixing a bug in 3.2. As I wrote in my original post, I have confirmed that tap sprinting was an intended feature introduced in ESO 0.16.0
