📋 About This Mod
I have always found that when I press down the left stick on the controller I only start running about 70% of the time. I finally dug into the reasons and found that there were some restrictive values plus one bug:
-
[]If the L3 button is pressed and released too fast, the code that checks if sprinting can be started will run after you've released the button and won't register the press. [/]
[]The stick needs to be off center by a certain amount[/]
[]The player already needs to me moving at a certain speed before sprinting[/]
Notes:
-
[]Another restriction on sprinting is that you need to be moving within 55° of forward to sprint. I didn't change that in this mod, but I did add it as a perk in Running Man - New Sprinting Perks.[/]
[]These changes apply to swimming fast as well as sprinting[/]

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge download count (168,600) shows it's a widely used fix.
- Directly addresses a common controller annoyance—sprint not triggering.
- Simple and focused; does exactly what it says without bloat.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 253 endorsements compared to downloads—maybe not everyone's thrilled.
- Last updated January 2026—could be outdated if the game has patched since.
For controller players who are tired of mashing the sprint button and not getting a response. If you've ever died because your character wouldn't sprint, this is for you. Skip if you play with keyboard and mouse or if you prefer vanilla sprint mechanics.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to place the mod files in the correct game directory as per the mod's instructions.
- If you use a mod manager, let it handle the installation to avoid conflicts.
- Test sprinting in a safe area first to get a feel for the new responsiveness.
