Zombies run even when set to walk

[Grasamo]

Anyone else experienced this?  I confirmed I had every category of zombie set to walk.  Even so, I got stuff running at me.  I'm trying to learn the game.  It would seem something is broken with options.

Did they run after you hit them? If so, sometimes a rage mechanic kicks in if the zombies have taken damage which allows them to move faster.

You can lower the difficulty to -1 Default which makes the rage mechanic happen almost never.

As mentioned, sometimes zombies get a temporary 'rage' speed buff when damaged. Also, if it's night time, you may see zombies out there with glowing yellow eyes- Those are ferals, I'm pretty sure they will always run (Don't know if there's a setting that affects them, can't say I've ever messed with zombie speed)

You can set ALL types of zombies to walk as far as I can tell.  I think there are 4 you can set to walk/jog/run.  The game kept changing my settings from walk to run for some reason.  I struggle with the game if they do more than walk.  If I go up one notch from Scavenger, it's brutal for me.  I dunno why I'm so bad at it.  I tried to "git gud", but the gud got up and went elsewhere.

Bone knife to the head, even if not sneaking is amazingly effective.  Never would have thought so.
