Ever since permanent auto sprint was added we get stuck in crouch instead of being able to sprint out of it like we always have been able to (as long as i have been playing anyways). This is a huge quality of life issue and I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.
This is option in many games where you can either enable or disable to ability to automatically leave crouch. Perhaps this us a good solution for everyone as some people might prefer to have to leave crouch manually.
