Here is a step-by-step guide on how to fix the auto-tac sprint reload glitch.

  1. Launch MW3
  2. Go into the Settings tab, which is located in the top-hand corner of your screen
  3. Select Controller
  4. Scroll over to Gameplay
  5. Under Automatic Sprint, select Off from the drop-down menu

With this setting selected, sprinting is activated manually with the sprint button. Getting used to playing without sprinting automatically will take some getting used to, but it’s much better than not being able to reload at all. Raven Software did not provide a time-line for when this issue will be addressed.

Season 3 Reloaded also caused Dev Error 5433 to rear its ugly head and created issues for PlayStation users trying to login. If this is still a problem for you, make sure to check out our guide on how the devs recommend fixing the error code, while a permanent solution gets worked on.
