Problems Moving Left, Right, And Backwards

PainfulFlare

<div class="IPBDescription">movement speed</div> My problem is that when I install NS I have problems strafing left, right, backwards, and sometimes forwards. It keeps moving slowly every single time I keep stafing or moving backwards. I have to keep repeatly jumping up and down to get proper speed for running. But if I stop and start to strafe it slows down my speed. This only happens when I play NS and not my other mods. I have all the latest updates and patches install in my computer. I just want to move at a regular speed instead of slowing me down. The video mode I use is OpenGL in 1024 x 768 resolution.

My specs are:
Pentium III 900mhz
384mb of RAM
ATI Radeon 8500 64mb video card
Creative Sound Blaster PCI sound card
Windows XP Professional

If you have any suggestion or solutions to this problem, I gladly would appreciate this. Thank you.

This problem is caused by the difference between the values of the cvars:

cl_forwardspeed
cl_backspeed
cl_sidespeed

The cvars <b>cl_forwardspeed</b> and <b>cl_backspeed</b> default to <i>1000</i>, where as the <b>cl_sidespeed</b> cvar defaults to <i>400</i>. This is a bug, and is caused by the command not being present in the config.cfg, so HL sets it to 400 by default.

Setting cl_sidespeed to 1000 will fix your problem.

I just figured out what was the problem. When I was trying to change the cvars in the config.cfg, I typed that cvar you suggested and checked to see what would happen. My cvar was at '400' and I changed it to '1000'. But when I start to play the game just got a little wierd. Then I noticed that I had the walk/run toggle key on (I set my to shift not default i think). I unbind the run/walk toggle key. But before I went to the game I checked to see if that cvar you suggest was still there but it wasnt. When I went to the game, everything was normal.

I think the run/walk toggle button interfere with my strafe and backward speed movement. I noticed that the number you suggested '1000' was a little to fast and putting it to default is better (400). Thanks for the help.
