[41.50] Serious bug with sprinters - persistent combat move slow down after being attacked

[Geras]

Hi, this bug has been around since sprinter slowing down the player was introduced.

 

See the video for more details, but in a nutshell if you hold RMB and push the sprinter zombie after a certain point in their attack animation, you get slowed down and the speed penalty doesn't go away until you release RMB or push the zombie again, but earlier in their animation. If you keep holding RMB, the slowdown is pretty much permanent, even with the zombie being a few tiles away or dead.

 

It's a very annoying bug which often leads to deaths with sprinters where every second is a matter of life and death.
