What happens when the bug occurs? The caracter stops running.
What should be happening instead? The caracter should continue to run.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Don't Know.
When I press L3 to run, the character does it.
If I press L3 and after few second i move the camera Left and Right, it's all normal.
So I can run straight, I can run and change direction.
I can do this all day.
So my Left Thumbstick works.
But if I start running and immediately move the camera to the right, the character stops.
I did the same test whit others Games, everything works good. Only on Apex it's broken.
The Problem occurs only when I change direction to the right and only if a move the R3 analog immediately after pressing the L3 to run.
In the video you can clearly see that when i see right the charater stops running. It doesn't occours everytime. Video
I've alredy tried to reinstall the game.

Please guys. Other people are experiencing the same problem. It's an uncommon bug, but it's gamebreaking.

@Pastascotta97 Thanks for the clear description. Just so I can be sure, you've tried a bunch of appropriate tests, but can I check if you were able to replicate with a different controller? I know others on Reddit with a similar issue report trying this, but I want to check for your case. It looks like there are different iterations of this issue, or they could be separate issues with similar symptoms.
We have a major patch coming in soon, can you test and see if the issue re-occurs after the update?
Thanks again.

Update: after the patch the problem is still there. In the meanwhile another guy had exactly the same Bug (when he turns right the character stops). Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/apexlegends/comments/c8g4ul/sprint_glitch_on_ps4/
