An issue i've had for a while now (2 years iirc)
Recently wanted to try playing DL2 again considering all the updates that have happened since I last played.
So I installed the game, tried to make sure the install was clean, created a new save and started playing.
Didn't take long before a certain bug i remember re-appeared. Sometimes when I hit the head of an enemy, my character would then gain superspeed and I'd often fly off of rooftops or run a lap around a room.
I can't find anyone else ever mentioning a bug like this. Neither on the internet at large nor on the discord.
Gaining the skills that allow slow motion on perfect blocks and dodges reveals that while those don't cause the excessive speedup, they also don't trigger any slow motion at all.
I assume the speedup on 'critical' kills is from a failed slow motion application that inversely increases my movement speed instead of slowing things down.
It's really breaking the momentum of combat and really killing much of my enjoyment of the game.
Any ideas of what the cause might be?
as for the basic checks:
- Removing all mods or edited game files: Yes, gamefiles within steam and the settings folder in documents were cleaned. Couldn't find anything in appdata.
- Restarting the game: Yes.
- Verifying the issue on a new save slot: Yes.
- Starting the game in offline mode: Yes.
- Lowering your graphic settings as low as possible (this includes resolution) : I have attempted many graphical changes, none had any effect.
- Reinstalling the game : yes.
I play on PC, Geforce FTX 3070Ti, 16gb RAM, AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8-Core Processor. No overclocking.
Issue wouldn't be visible in a screenshot, and i don't have the software to record installed.
Happens on a new savefile on a new installation so assuming savefile wouldn't help.
