The controls aren't working.

So I just downloaded the second episode and I enjoy it so far.
But the problem is I can't sprint. It does neither work with the mouse controls, nor with the wasd-keyboard controls.

Am I missing something or did the game bug up during the download?


Edit: Oh great it is the old rule again.
As soon as I posted this it works.
You are only unable to sprint at the beginning.
This thread is useless in that case.
I'd close it but I have no clue if and how I could do that.

    Everything's working the same as chapter 1 for me.

    I've always believed MI should stay firmly a point & click game, so I have decided to persevere with the mouse controls. Chapter one they worked ok. Drag to walk & RMB to sprint. The way Flotsam was laid out, I rarely ran into any problems, but with Spinner Cay, I find I walk off screen, sometimes the camera angle changes. This means Guybrush walks into walls a lot or at worst, is facing in the direction I just came from & he walks back on to the other screen.

    This is something that I dislike about direct control & if you are going to use direct control TT, please try & be more careful of this in the future. It helped ruin MI4 & although it's not nearly as bad here, it is something to watch. Just make sure when Guybrush changes screens/scene, he's still facing the same way you were pointing before you changed. That's my only gripe over the controls, otherwise it works fine.

    have you tried to configure the game to run in non-fullscreen mode? it works for me, now i can save games and move the character with the keyboard. this is ANOTHER bug in the game, i wish telltale will release a new version without bugs...

    tullulah, I haven't read about the configuration problem you describe, but I'm wondering: Are you running ToMI on a supported platform now (i.e. not Wine or Parallels)?

    In smaller locations Guybrush can't run -- the "run" button (or key) just makes him walk a bit faster. This is also the case in Strong Bad and Sam & Max.
