'Slow Forward' movement is bugged while being prone

[FeroMax 6]

Date/Time:

June 26

What happened:

A wrong movement function call

Where you were:

Any place on a map - no importance

What you were doing:

Playing :) - latest Mod and Beta Client patches installed. Bug can be reproduced on all servers.

I noticed that moving in a slowest pace while being prone is bugged or does not work as intended. If you have a pistol/flashlight in your hands, or have empty hands, the 'slow forward' movement speed is the same as regular 'move forward' speed.

To reproduce the bug - switch to a rifle/main gun while in a prone position, use 'slow forward' and 'move forward' movement actions to see that they work as intended (slow forward being 2x slower and, therefore, stealthier). Now switch to a pistol/flashlight and use both movement actions again, observe the result. Now drop weapons, repeat movement actions, observe. The result in both - 'slow forward' action will produce the 'move forward' action - same speed/noise. It appears that the 'slow forward' movement is only available with the main slot weapon equipped and active. :( :(

While having a rifle in my hands I can 'creep' past infected with a much greater success. If I switch to a pistol/flashlight, chances of being spotted are lot higher. Starting anew is challenging as it is and with this bug its even harder - the 'slow forward' movement is simply not available while being prone till you find a rifle or a hatchet. I use 'slow forward' a lot while being prone, and not being able to use it while having a sidearm slot item out is just detrimental to the in-game experience :(

Rocket please help!
