problems sprinting!

[zeek123]

Hi there,
I was wondering if anyone else has a problem sprinting.
I double tap the 'W' key and I will often only sprint 1-2 seconds before I stop dead - even though I'm still holding down the key.
My 'sprint bar' has only gone down by 1/4 or a 1/3 sometimes.
Other times it will work fine and I can sprint normally.

Obviously I'm getting caned out there as I'm a sitting duck!

I have a high spec PC and internet connection.
I'm wondering if it is a EA bug with my keyboard as I can hold the W key down forever in notepad etc and it doesnt stop.
My keyboard is a wireless Microsoft one - new batteries etc. It works fine in all other applications.

Thanks
Zeek:)

Re: problems sprinting!

Generally when I sprint, I just put one foot in front of the other...

:p

Sounds like a very strange problem, and I would say almost certainly keyboard related. Your first course of action should be to try playing with a different keyboard.

If you still get the problem you could always just sprint by holding w + shift.

Re: problems sprinting!

or you can also sprint by holding down the left "shift" button

also, why does it say that i'm a private?

(private as in like on these forums)

What I said

It says you are a private because you only have 3 posts.
