i press shift to run forward and i take about three steps running, then for some unknown reason the game decides to make me walk.

 

i havent changed anything on my computer, but this recently started happening.

 

i went into the controls and re-binded shift for the 'sprint or hold breath' command, but it didnt fix or help.

 

really criminal since i get all pumped up with endorphines when i press the run button, only to get a big fat stall or stop forcibly put onto me.

 

i've seen the same exact thing happen when i was using steam with the retail version of the game, but it didnt happen anywhere close as often.

then it was like once a month or once every three months.

now it does it almost every single time, especially for the first time i press run.. and then it eventually lets me go after two or three presses, but it always comes back halting me.

 

what reason to take my input away from me?

do you think it is funny to give people a heart attack or a stroke or play with their brain's processing power?

do you think the video game is really entertaining enough to provide room for such thing?

 

tonight before i posted this, i read a thread about staff replying to people about cheaters and cheating.. something about turning off legacy servers (or filtering them out).

will this fix the run problem too?

 

all three times i've found my run button being taken away from me, i was on a server that didnt show anything special listed for the gametype.

each one simply said 'team deathmatch' .. whatever the default spelling is.

 

i was running the lag-o-meter and no spikes show up whenever my run button stops working.

i dont have any problems with the shift button on the keyboard, as i can see that while typing out this post.

 

 

i dont know where society thinks there is a place to refill fire protection before roasting other people, but it looks like another instance where people dont care to look to see how much protection is there first before they run off and roast somebody with unlogical and|or irrational action.

As far as I know the sprint works like that when you are using an arev client.

this is a retail version of the game.

it came from DVD that i pull out of the plastic case.

was using it with steam, but the steam version forces me to play the same map over and over and over again while ignoring other maps (simply one of the reasons why i switched to an alternative).

 

i really havent the slightest clue what an arev version of the client is.

Delete "config_mp" (if you have it) and "config_m2", from your "players" folder.

Then configure your graphics again and try a match.

i deleted those two files, but it didnt help any.

i'm still haunted by not being able to run.

 

something appears to be different.

i remember being able to run and bump into another player and my character would still bounce up and down running.

now when i run into another teammate the character stops running.

this doesnt happen when me and the teammate are both running.

but if i try to run and i bump into a teammate before i take more than a few steps, the game forces the run to stop.

 

more annoying..

i didnt see the game update itself before the problem started.

it just started happening the other night and there hasnt been an update.

i got an update yesterday, but i dont know if it was the game updating or because i deleted those two files.

The update yesterday only solved some libnp issues.
