Half Life Alyx Workaround: Walking Speed

Back to: Technical Support

When do I need this:
If you're playing Half Life Alyx, and you feel like you're walking through treacle. Or maybe you're moving too fast in game.

The Problem:
The Kat walk emulates the thumbstick, so you can only move as fast as the game allows. You can adjust the KAT walk settings to make the thumbstick move further at low speeds, but you can't move the thumbstick beyond 100%!

The Workaround:
1. Change the game launch options

Open Steam (your game library), find the game and right click it. Go to 'Properties' and select ' Set Launch Options'.

Paste the following code there: (+hlvr_continuous_normal_speed 175+hlvr_continuous_combat_speed 175) You can set it from 175 to 150/200/other values, whatever works for you.
