[PC] Can't Run or Sprint- perma "indoor mode", not overburdened

After about 20 hours into the game, I experienced a horrific bug that is practically gamebreaking.

At some point, I became stuck in indoors mode at all times except combat. I am thus forced to SLOW WALK through every part of the game, which makes progression in various areas impossible, and all the rest completely not fun. Here are my notes I made from trying to fix it to show what it is. Do note, this is not overburdened status, as it happened below item weight, even if I had no saddles. If anyone knows a solution, let me know, this is really hampering gameplay DRASTICALLY.



Geralt pace set at slow walk, not even at his jog/run speed.

The "Sprint Hold Left Shift" command line does not even appear.

Combat allows sprinting and normal actions, returns to the "indoor mode" after.

Have tried entering and leaving a hundred different buildings.

Have gotten overburdened status and gotten rid of it to no success.

Zoomed in to the over shoulder view, such as is with indoor mode.

Cannot swim faster when in water, only dive and surface or slow swim.

Occassionally allows sprinting for a split second, such as when getting out of water, or getting off the horse, on rare occasions.

Tried changing to a controller setup, sprint is still missing, still in indoor over shoulder mode.

Tried setting sprint toggle key in keybinding, does not work, must be in indoor mode.

The bug has gotten worse and I have some more information on it now, seeing as there has been no posted help, gonna add info to "bump" it to notice while giving more info.

First off, the bug is caused by the quest Wandering in the Dark and is CROSS PLATFORM, not just PC. Upon exiting the portal world, when meeting the witch, the bug can sometimes begin. It may have been after the cutscene, but somewhere between the witch's bath cutscene and exiting the shack, the bug appeared. It has happened to someone else on PS4. Here

The bug, while keeping you unable to sprint, will accelerate the player upon jumping off a horse 80% of the time, and sometimes without any trigger. You move (though still slow walking) 2-3 times as fast, and same with attacking, recoiling from blows, ect.

A billion things I have tried cannot correct it, it probably can only be patched out.

i got the same problem!!

We are incredibly sorry that something like that is happening ;(

So far it was reported only by few people, so apparently there are some circumstanses that we didn't see. Please, use the following form to descirbe when it happened and attach save game with broken movement: http://en.cdprojektred.com/contact-support/

Honest appologies, it never happened to anybody before the release. We will do everything to have it fixed as soon as possible.

Got the same problem ,can't sprint at all but its possible sprint on horse. it happend around keira in bath cutscene ~~ i was in midair while starting it

 

[Chris.t850]

I have the same problem. Happened right around the making preparations main quest. Really frustrating!! Tried resetting the Xbox, loading saved games and nothing seems to have worked

​just to update, I didnt believe I was overburdened, but just to check I dropped a bunch of extra swords and saddles I had and sure enough Geralt started running again. At least try dumping everything you dont need and see if it helps, it might be a bug where it doesn't tell you that you are overburdened when in fact you are, I definitely didnt think I was, as I had gotten the screen message telling me I was previously in the game, not this time though. Worth a try

Thats Why pirate is Better way to test before buy

@sterling84 - can I ask you to send your save where you had the issue before dropping the items to me (tomasz.kozera at cdprojektred.com)? Such overburden thing should not happen, I'll investiage it.

 

[iKal-El]

Same here, actually started after installing patch v1.04.
I'm at the Skellige missions (looking for Ciri or something like that). Guess we'll have to wait than to be patched.

Excelent game by the way.

Just sent it out to you

 

[ilozen]

Please check if you aren't overburdened (hud buff icon + red color of encumbrance value in panels). So far I got one save (don't know from who) and the case there was overburden.

 

[OldWUlf]

Umm guys i found the solution that cdprojektred can't find ^^ I don't play original one but that bug is over after broken flowers mission Be patient and keep playing till they find another solution Gl All have fun...I will buy original one after fix game is execelent

 

[garettgreenhalgh]

I ran into same bug, only walk (zoomed in as if indoor) which occurred at some point during mission with Kiera in elven tomb with portals/following sparrow marks. I have tried (as others here) to rebind keys, reload, restart, etc... Please let me know if you want me to upload save game as this is a major bummer. Horse movement works fine but not an acceptable workaround for me. I am running with patch 1.04

 

[PitbullKane]

Same thing happened to me on PS4.

---------- Updated at 10:32 PM ----------

We are not overburdened, and it's not just pc. It's a bug in the game. Happened to me today on my ps4. Horse works fine, but when on foot, running and sprinting almost never work. Sometimes I'll spontaneously run for a few seconds, but eventually I'll always stop and have to walk. Same thing with swimming. Makes the game unplayable!

Also, it starts from the very beginning of the game. I've started 3 new games and every time I have the same problem from the start.

 

[garettgreenhalgh]

interesting on the new start of game.... for me [PC] I can load a manual save from two nights ago (right before bath scene: end of 'Hunting a Witch' and beginning of 'Wandering in the Dark') and run/sprint works fine. It is at this quest transition that the bug appears for me. I have proactively sent Tomasz both save games so he can compare and hopefully have a QUICK fix.... really don't want to play until I can run/sprint.

 

[Thothistox]

This happens for me too. To get rid of it I have to restart the game process. After around 25hrs of game play I've had it happen roughly 4 times. I wouldn't call it game breaking at all (the game is wonderful), but it's still annoying.

 

[lemonleer]

I got the same issue, fortunately I found the way to solve the problem. Just go to the option menu and set the keyboard setting to default, then problem solved!

 

[garettgreenhalgh]

As I mentioned in my earlier post I have tried that... setting to default and other custom binding doesn't fix my instance. I wish it were that simple.... I may hit 200 hrs of game play waaaaay early... please help CDProjektRed.

 

[cruxious85]

I had the same problem, thought it would go over by itself, and it eventually did. I was halfway into the quest "Broken Flowers" when all of a sudden it started working again,
