No- right at the start; I press enter, [s] reverses but really slowly, [w] gets me to go faster (and shift even more so), but [a]/[d] turn me at about 2deg/second - so I can almost get a 90deg turn by pressing pressing [w] then [a] then [w], etc. but just holding [w]+[a] takes me into the nearest wall… :/
(Just tried v3, still persists).
