Unable to Run??

Entropia Universe Discussion General Discussion
1

Ok, a few friends and I started playing Entropia 2 days ago. A old friend has been playing here for almost a year now and got us to come check it out. As soon as we enter and start playing with the controls, I notice that they are running past me.

Now, I’m not a noob to games in general, nor am I technically stupid. I’ve held down “Q”, held down both mouse buttons, pressed the button I added to my qBar and double clicked on ground ahead. The consensus of all of the people I have played with in the 2 days is that I start to run then continue walking. Now, you may be thinking “Big Deal” or “What a noob”… Bah to that. I have a legitement problem here and would like to find a resolution. This is really ruining the game for me :frowning:

Let me just tell you how long it took to walk from Atlantis to Fort Troy then to Twin Peaks…

Sounds very strange indeed. You should be able to run by using the default mapping, using a quickbar key, or clicking the ground ahead.

Are you sure you are walking and not running?

If it doesn’t clear itself up I would write a support case.

I did, however, by the time it was responded to we had run to Twin Peaks. Which, as you can imagine ended up with alot of wool and hides. And it was pushed off that I was carrying too much gear. Now, I’m logged in right now with almost no gear and still can’t run. This is really starting to suck.

I’m wondering if it could be a restriction or problem with packet size from my ISP?

To me it looks like he is running. However, to my team he starts to run then walks.

6

Are you holgind down the “run” button or are you just pressing it once? Also, do you have the “auto run” mapped up?

I have tried holding down Q and pressing the run button. I think I’ve tried all possible combinations of buttons there is! lol

8

hit O and go into your options, that will show you how you are mapped.

To run you can hold down the button you have mapped for run. To autorun you just press the button you have mapped for autorun once.

If all else fails do another support case, lol

Yup this came to mind for me. ALthough he is brand new, but perhaps his friends started him out with a lot of goodies :laugh: If you’re weight colour is yellow, then you will walk not run

[/QUOTE]

acctually if your weightcolor is yellow you will run slowly :slight_smile: if you weightcolor is red you would walk :wink:

But yea, alot of smallstuff can make you heavy.. like molisk teeth, wool, hides, foul bones and ores tend to make you heavy..

Green @ 24.6 now. I’ve gotten it to 0.0 and had the same problem. So it’s not a matter of my gear and/or inventory. I’m thinking there is a problem with the networking itself.

Your not lagging either? Hmm seem strange. Definitly should send support!

Edit: your friends dont happen to be much better skilled then you and more agility? that means they run faster then you… and its quite noticeable.

Dont forget in the game now a newcomer will move slower than a more established character until certain skills increase.

I often leave newcomers that are society members behind when we tp run and also get left behind by some of the more established players than me.

[edit] Oops forgot to read the whole thing skam just said exactly the same thing. :laugh: [/edit]

But he said his starts to run then stops. This leads me to belive he is hitting the Run button and not the AutoRun button.

My avatar looks to me to be running, but just can’t keep up. My team says I’m walking. We all started at the same time, except for one. And the guys that have only player a couple hours are moving faster than me :frowning:

17

Did you try holding down Q and nothing else ?

Press Q and keep holding it down. you dont have to press W also, only Q.

18

Did you even read the first post?

I’m not trying to be funny, but I’ve said like 2 or 3 times that I’ve tried Q, the run button, dbl clicking and holding both mouse buttons.

Back away slowly and just answer the questions directly. We are only trying to help…

Did you, or did you not try HOLDING DOWN the Q button?

I did lol

Ok, so here is what I’ve done today. I installed PE on my wifes PC (950MHZ, 32MB VC) and was able to run. Since my NIC card for my PC is onboard, I decided to toss in a PCI Nic just out of curiousity. No change there.

So now I’m uninstalling Norton and all its bullcrap…

Before you ask, My PC is a AMD AthlonXP 3200+ with 2 GB of ram and a MSI GF4 FX 5900XT. More than enough to pass the sys req’s
