In essence it seems like ubisoft forgot to add an hold to sprint option instead of a toggle.
There is an hold to crouch option but not to sprint?! thats just STUPID!

Hold to sprint is important, since there is no hud element that shows you if you are sprinting (like in watch dogs 2 for example), you sometimes cant tell if you are moving with maximum speed, thats confusing and renders the sprint attack skill useless in open combat, since you cant rely on it, because you cant see if it you are sprinting!
Why is ubi downgrading their own game mechanics, its just STUPID!

And the most important thing for me is: when you have hold to sprint you can put sprinting and climbing on the same button and this would make the movement almost like in the EZIO saga, where sprint and climb are both on the same button.
Its just such an obvious addition that (probably)QA overlooked and if this was my responsibility, then I would be EMBARRASED because thats an important and OBVIOUS accessibility feature!
Plus the worst fact is that they havent added such a basic thing in over half a year after launch, even it should have launched with that and this ist maximum STUPID!

Honestly this is the reason why I havent bought the season pass and dont plan to until its fixed.
Removing the horse speed limit in cities is something that you can solve with 3rd party software, at least someone isnt as stupid as Ubisoft!

well applause now there are more shop items than in game , and no one tries to solve the problem! [censored] applause you donkeys

Well this issue persists over a month now and no ubisoft employee wants to answer on this issue after the fact is known that it isnt an hardware issue. Seems to me as they just ignore it and all their game testers are playing on controllers. I switched now to Cyberpunk because of this issue even tho it is buggy as hell but at least its gameplay features arent broken like this one. Aint planning on giving Ubisoft any more money until its fixed, because they are pushing the "starter pack" out with weapons that are bugged and have no perks. Its just embarrasing.

But to at least add something positive to the thread, here are my specs that i tested this walking issue on.

Keyboards:
Sharkoon Purewriter ; doesnt work
Sharkoon Purewriter TKL ; doesnt work either

I even put the walk speed key and movement keys on mice and it didnt work:

G502 Lightspeed
G900 Chaos Spectrum

I managed to work around this issue with reWASD but im not going to pay money after the free trial to fix an issue that shouldnt be my JOB to fix.
Its ridiculous that ubisoft released an ASSASSINS CREED game with broken SOCIAL STEALTH mehanics that make you walk slower than the 90+ years old altair in Revelations.

@ubi-borealis @Ubi-Ginge @Ubi-Woofer First i want to say that i love this game and thats why I (and probably most of the people in this thread) am so passionate about this topic and WHY ISNT THIS FIXED YET? why is no one answerin to this thread anymore? I know that it isnt community managers job to fix this but its damn well your job to report this serious issues to the tech team and not deflecting it by just writing that its being investigated.
Gotta investigate harder guys, because anyone would notice that problem as soon as you are playing the sneaky part in hordafylke with basim!
As an computer science student i know that it wouldnt be that difficult to fix this, because it was easy to fix the "horse slowing down in cities" problem in odyssey.(that is also annoying the [censored] out of me in Valhalla, but we cant expect ubisoft to fix the whole game, can we?)
This [censored] haunts the game for 2 months now and after a month I had enought of this. Aint giving ubisoft money for the season pass either until its down to maximum 15 euros because then the content will finally playable like with the main game apparently!

@revenantsp1 nah dont bother, tried it out now, nothing has changed, gotta wait for another month at least until those [censored] realize that their game istn worth the 60 euros in that state

last time i buy an ubisoft game at launch, at least i didnt pay full price

*DJ Khaled voice* "and another one" week without an hotfix of some kind, didnt played this game since 1.1.1 either and kinda miss it but i wont keep up with this [censored]
and to anyone that tries to ask again what keyboard i use; [censored] off! try using ANY keyboard before asking

as already stated everybody on this thread used far more than 5 keyboard and mouse combos, doesnt get it in you tech teams head or what?

@coiine im not feeling supported aswell on this issues! mostly ripoffed (sry not an native english speaker, idk if its how you write it)

damn thats sad that developers are so lazy and incompetent to implement such a basic option, one more reason to hate consoles for ruining pc ports

F**K YOU UBISOFT

The funniest thing is that the now present dunkness bug somehow indirectly fixes the slow walking issue by making Eivor fast walk instead of jog in cloak mode. (for a minute at least, as long as you are drunk)
This just proves that its [censored] easy to solve that problem by even just adjusting the overall speed (to 80% or so) with cloak on so you would walk instead of jog and jog instead of sprint in the corresponding movement modes with cloak on, but nah lets just push out an reskin of the hunter armor and an drunktard update instead.

Exactly, its almost 25% of the gameplay thats unusable!
Its like if the bow gameplay was somehow compromised by shortage of ammo, oh wait. *Facepalm*

@ubi-borealis still no option to disable film grain

@yell0cake https://www.reddit.com/r/assassinscreed/comments/jtlj55/anyone_know_how_to_trigger_finishers_with_your/

How do I trigger cinematic finishers with my own equipped weapon, they look far cooler than the stun finishers.

There is no concrete way on the internet that says how to trigger them, seems like it has to do with heavy attack but thats unreliable!
plus they are almost always faster then stun finishers, especially than the heavy big guy stun finishers(celtic and saxon).

Wouldnt it be cool if they would trigger on elite enemies every time their health gets to 0 instead of the standart stun finisher like its right now.
It doesnt make any sense to me that eivor holsters his weapon mid swing while his weapon already hit and killed the opponent

Also it would bring much needed variety into combat when you could actively vary between different finishers, it ups the intrinsic motiavion by a ton, will save you time in combat and will scare the enemies really much when you glory kill their lieutenant!

Right now it feels like this was the intention from the start but the devs never had time to implement this properly.

would be glad if this gets changed or at least if we are told how to trigger these animations.

@kormac67 yea its not super mario, its assassins creed first!

@yell0cake And non contextual SIDE EJECTS

Valhalla, Odyssey and Origins (also Syndicate) really need a non contextual jump button like in ALL previous AC`s!

The Parkour is not parkour anymore and more like just climbing, because parkour is about getting the most efficient route from A to B but in AC Valhalla you cant be more efficient, because you cant change anything about the way you traverse the environment.
Its just sad to see TLOU 2 having an dedicated jump button with wich you can time jumps to get to some areas you couldnt if it was just an auto jump. Even in Borderlands 3 its more fun to parkour around even tho it was never sold on the premise of climbing but its better because you can time your jumps and ledge grapples unlike in an Assassins Creed, a franchise build on fun parkour for gods sake.

Please add it at least as an unlockable Skill or Adrenaline ability or something, I would anything at that point! Maybe with the Paris DLC that may be more assassin centric. Would be miles better than the "longship charge" and the "assassin slide" [censored] that no one in their right mind ever use.

I know that the chances are below 10% that it will be changed given we are on the Ubi forums, but this post may be at least a rally point for all other AC Parkour fans that google that sad topic.
