I did some testing, and I think I found out how the bug happens when people can't sprint anymore without armor or with other armors which are not Exoskeletons after installing this mod.
So the main factor is that you should unequip the Exoskeleton if you have it equipped before installing the mod and only load it on a save which you don't have an Exoskeleton equipped - I tested this with the Cuirass Exoskeleton.
This is how I found out: - If I had the Exoskeleton on and installed the mod, the bug happened and I could only sprint if I had the Exoskeleton on - without it, I couldn't sprint either without any armor on or with any armor on which is not an Exoskeleton. - If I first unequipped the Exoskeleton, made a save, installed the mod, loaded the save, and only after THEN I equipped the Exoskeleton, the mod works perfectly - I can sprint with the Cuirass Exoskeleton, without any armor or with any other type of armor.
So the bottom line is if you want this mod to work without borking your save and losing your ability to sprint YOU HAVE TO FIRST UNEQUIP THE EXOSKELETON INGAME, SAVE, INSTALL THE MOD, LOAD YOUR SAVE AND ONLY EQUIP AN EXOSKELETON AFTER THAT! IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, IT WILL BUG OUT AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SPRINT AT ALL, ONLY IN AN EXOSKELETON.
I want to thank you Exicide for the mod, it took some testing to get it to work, but now it works and I can finally wear my Cuirass Exoskeleton and sprint like a Spacemarine. I wrote this up to help you and anyone to avoid bugging out their game.
I am going to sticky this post, thank you so so much for helping test this out, I couldn't seem to figure out the exact quirks with how the game caches data, hopefully people will read your post and everything will be fine!
You are very welcome, happy to help Exicide. I don't know the reason why this happens either, but with the above method I described the mod works for me just fine and I can sprint without armor and in other types of armor as well.
The mod works but needs some cleaning. I had a PSZ suit with a sphere-20 helmet equipped and upon loading this mod, the entire psi protection bar of the helmet was gone. Unequipping beforehand didn't help either, it also affected another helmet of the same type in a trader's inventory. It only happened with this mod active, so it definitely doesn't only change stats of the exo suits.
I followed the instructions for installation however i still can't sprint in the Cuirass Exoskeleton. Could you possibly make an instillation video or advise if there is anything i need to do. I'm playing the PC Xbox games pass version.
I have an idea that could make that possible but the problem is all game sounds are randomly numbered like 1928292 to 98272827 for example. You would need to search through every single game file, including Voices, which aren't categorized. Would take a long time.
There can't be any possible way this mod did that because all it does is allow you to sprint by Adding the "Sprint Effect" to each exo armor. What mods do you have? Don't leave any of them out.
It seems to work for me with the cuirass exoskeleton, and sprinting still works fine with regular non-exoskeleton armor.
After starting the game once after installing the new patch to make sure i didn't have any armor equipped. I then closed the game and put the downloaded .pak file in the specified path, then restarted the game. I did have an issue where after the initial "compiling" loading screen it went back and did that loading screen again, getting stuck at about a quarter of the way through, but I just force quit the game and then restarted it and it worked fine.
you should try taking the exo off, putting it away or something in a stash or just dropping it, saving, and then removing the mod. Then put it back on, you could try replacing it with other armors, so like putting on other suits or something.
The game caches data in a very dumb way that I still can't nail down, it's basically reading the old version of the armor still until something is done to "update" or re-read the file in the game.

Thanks again for making the mod!

У меня больше нет версии, в которой вы можете экипировать шлем, доступной для загрузки. Из-за этого у NPC с экзо-броней не было головы.

Simply deleting .pac files from ~mods folder doesnt seems to work, Im still able to sprint without upgrade...
