Hey..In M&M 7 (And 8), it feels like moving in some directions makes me move faster or slower.
Not sprinting, not moving backwards. Just..

Like, it looks like, if I move East, I very slowly plod along, but if I go WEST, everything scrolls a bit faster.

Not uphill vs downhill, not roads vs grass, just direction.

Also, in M&M 8, trying to move north makes me move at an odd NEst angle (even though diagonal movement was never a thing in the game)

Anyone else ever have these issues? Any way to fix it? Is it all in my head?

Please help; I missed playing these games. ;.;

Can't say I've experienced that.

Which direction are you facing when you are moving? Are you moving straight ahead or are you strafing?

I did not know you COULD straif. I am using the up/down/left/right keys.

I'm not sure just what the directions are, but I will pay attention next time..does moving at the non-cardinal directions (SE/SW/NE/NW) make a person move slower?

Installing the game now... Give me a few minutes.

I made a video but I had to capture my desktop (since OBS won't find the game and it alt-tabs BADLY)

It seems moving even one pixel off North makes me kinda slide at an upper-left angle, and various directions are slower than others.

In M&M 7 walking West is indeed somewhat faster than East, tested with a stop watch and my back to a wall in the starter town. On flat, grassy empty field, walking West for 5 seconds got me to a certain point. Walking due East from that spot back to touching the wall took about 1.5 seconds longer.

Weird, and 8 suffers the same problem (one direction slower than another, and slight sideways sliding). I wish these games would see a remake.
That's because the planet rotates West to East. So if you walk West the planet comes your way, while walking East, you have catch up with it.


No seriously this is pretty weird.
Never seen it in the game.

I think the game is trying to tell you something, namely:

Whoa, interesting. I must install the game and see it myself :)
This is a known bug. It was fixed in unofficial patch of GrayFace but definitely not completely (for me).
