The Witcher 3 – Horse riding fix

I did not enjoy the second Witcher game as much as I did the first, as to me Witcher 2 felt like a too ambitious idea that resulted in an rushed, incoherent and thus unfinished product. So I was very curious if the third one could eliminate that bad aftertaste again.

Luckily, it really did! I just had to install one small AutoHotKey tweak for the horse riding, as holding down the sprint key was not an option and when trying to use mods for this , my horse was always “broken”. So I created the scipt below instead. Btw I use ‘Left-Alt’ in the game for sprinting, so edit ‘LAlt’ and ‘Numpad4’ in the script to your preferred buttons.

For more usage info, check my posts about Silverfall or about Dragon Age – Origins.
