Movement slippery

[MinerOfWorlds]

It's like I'm on ice in 0.5 but in older versions it was fine.

Does anyone else have this problem?

You can tune movement acceleration from startup UI > Advanced > Movement Acceleration. Setting this to 10.0 will disable movement acceleration completely. Otherwise a variable amount of acceleration will be applied depending on your setting.

I had noticed this a while back but I'm usually too busy testing some specific system to pay attention. I think I was trying to jump on an altar and kept flying off the other side of it every time. Guess it was less about acceleration and more about deceleration.

What values make movement match classic? Are they the defaults?

Classic has no slip whatsoever, which made it sort of maddening when you were trying to inch over a cliff and your character leaped forward half a meter. The slipperiness is a QOL improvement in reality. Therefore, classic is 10.

Setting it to 10.0 disables movement acceleration completely, this includes deceleration. Classic uses no movement acceleration so 10.0 is the best setting for that. 10.0 has been the default for a while.

But keep in mind that having some acceleration allows you to make shorter jumps from shorter movement impulses, a QoL improvement unique to Daggerfall Unity. With this set to 10.0, you can only make full jumps forwards like in classic. This sometimes makes it difficult to jump with precision onto certain targets as in classic.

I prefer at least some acceleration/deceleration (around 8.5-9.0) so I have more control over the forward distance I'm jumping. You can also nudge your character up to edges with more fine control with some amount of acceleration, rather than plunge over as Jay describes above.

Acceleration/deceleration is a QoL feature, but not everyone will be happy with the same defaults. Just mess with the slider until you find a setting you like!

It's no problem. All the best!
