Odd Forced Walking Bug

[Deleted47182198User]

Hey there, incredibly smart people!

 

Okay, so here's my problem. I've recently started playing SSE and have encountered a bug I never saw in Oldrim.

 

Namely, after about fifteen minutes of gameplay, my character just starts walking...ONLY walking. At first, I thought my save game was corrupted and started another.

 

Everything was fine...for fifteen minutes, when it started again. I've tried every solution, from bringing up the Steam overlay then exiting, console commands, switching key controls, everything, and nothing has fixed it.

 

For now, the only "solution" I've found is going into God Mode, then playing around again with the controls. That fixes it, but my character reverts back to walking if I try to turn off God Mode. And it's an annoying fix, because what's even the point of playing Skyrim if you're invincible?

 

So, to my extremely smart modding community, I ask: any ideas? I'm pretty damn desperate, and at this point I'll try ANYTHING.

 

Thanks, people. I appreciate whatever help you guys can give me.

Make sure you are not accidentally toggling walk mode on (Caps Lock by default). Also make sure your modifier key to temporarily walk is not stuck (Shift by default).

 

Check the value of bAlwaysRunByDefault in your SkyrimPrefs.INI under [Controls].

If set at 0 your character will walk with Shift (default) causing you to run.

If set at 1 your character will run with Shift (default) causing you to walk.

 

Swapping the value could in theory cause the stuck movement to at least be your desired one. Although this would not be a fix, merely a band-aid solution.

 

If you have access to another keyboard, try swapping. If the issue goes away with a different keyboard, then the problem does lie with the first keyboard.

 

One other possibility, check your mods. Some mods try to be "realistic" with movement and will slow you down as you carry more items.

 

And lastly, make sure you are not over encumbered. The game forces you to walk when carrying more than your carrying capacity allows.
