Description of the Bug: So in all the time i have ever been playing perp i always have only had to use ALT to sprint with and never ever used shift until today, Its a little hard to explain but basically when playing i only ever use ALT to sprint forward with and jog side ways and backwards with but that now no longer works as now when i hold ALT and try to go backwards or sideways it forces me to walk very slow almost as if i was crippled whenever i try to walk sideways or backwards, BASICALLY i now have to push down BOTH SHIFT and ALT at the same time to have optimal movement when playing and thats really bad for pvp (for me atleast)

How to reproduce the Bug: Honestly i have no idea at all it just started happening from one day to another and ive seen a couple other people mention movement bug in chat

Time Stamp: All day today 07-02-2025

Media: First part of the clip here is me holding ONLY ALT and the second part is me holding ALT and SHIFT at the same time

Occurs to me too. Happened very early as i went heavy tfu. Might not be connected

Basically, alting sideways should result in SHIFT jog, instead its a weird glitchy walk.
 
We have not pushed any update to the gamemode so this is most likely a bug/feature introduced in a recent gmod update. We will see if it gets addressed by facepunch in the coming days and if not someone will work on a fix for the gamemode.
 
For all you psychos who rely on ALT for even your running tasks, there is a workaround:

Code:
alias "+sprint" "+walk; +speed"
alias "-sprint" "-walk; -speed"
bind "alt" "+sprint"

You can type the above line by line into your console, but this will probably not save. You can put this in your autoexec so it is permanent. Essentially what this does is binds both the shift and alt functions to alt, meaning you will still be able to use shift to run, but alt will cover all running and sprinting tasks.
