After downloading the latest patch, I was noticeably faster at running, which included the Natural Explorer (3/3) perk enabled. However, as soon as I attack or damage any creature in the game, I am PERMANENTLY penalized with a 500% slow to BOTH Running AND Walking.
A footbridge I built takes me only 5 seconds to run across in the new patch prior to damaging any creature. However, once I've attacked any creature in the game, that same bridge now takes me 25 seconds to cross while running. That is an insane 5x speed nerf... and its permanent... even if I sleep in my bed, or re-log, or anything.
The only fix is to load a save file BEFORE I damage any creature, and then not to engage in combat ever... if a bug attacks me, the only thing I can do is run away, because if I fight back, suddenly I'm moving a a crawling speed.
PLEASE FIX THIS !!!
