I just got the game today and installed patch 1.01. I am having a problem with the running animation in this game. When my Character is running his animations will stop and he will just sorta glide over the ground. Then the animation will start up again but then stop almost instantly. When the animation is stuck sometimes it is hard to move and sometimes it will be almost impossible which makes the game unplayable. I have tried reloading the save and i am going to try to restart everything. (still at the beginning of the game).

Edit: Reinstalled the game data and the saves and now the glitch starts the instant i can start moving in the doc's house.

Wow...that′s a new one. Never read about this one before. At least you can run the game. There are some people here who can′t even start it up.

Uploaded a video to youtube of the glitch in action

OK i figured it out. I decided to look at the back of the dike and i saw that there was like a huge line of dirt going across the disk so i cleaned the disk off and now it is working fine. Hope the glitch dose not come back.

Edit: Actually i guess it was my DS3 that just doesn't want to work with the game. Switched to Sixaxis and it works fine.
