Comment by Marco Grübler [ 30/Oct/17 ]

Confirmed.

Devices:

  • Windows 10 Desktop (Keyboard)
  • Windows 10 Surface Pro 4 (keyboard + touch)

Game version says 1.2.3 on Windows 10 install.

Reproduce:

  • quickly press any two movement keys in rapid succession (W,A,S,D)
  • OR be already walking forward (W) and quickly press any other key(s) twice while still having the 'W' key pressed

Result:

  • sprinting will start even though not intended

Expected:

  • sprinting only starts when the forward (W) key is pressed twice in quick succession.

Confirmed on touch controls - Surface Pro 3 MCWIN10

Confirmed. This also affects Android touch controls: If you hold forward, you can double tap left or right to start sprinting too.
