Movement speed increase after death

I have a few save files I'm trying to test this with and I can't quite figure out what's happening here. Basically on my main save file I'm at a point where if I die, when I come back my character moves much too quickly, like 5 times the speed they're supposed to. I try to replicate this on other files, same days passed, same amount of reasons to live, equipping and unequipping different gear, but it seems like on this one file, I have exactly one death left before I am permanently moving too fast, and no subsequent deaths will reset me to normal. I don't know much about this version of RPGmaker and it's been a LONG time since I've used the program at all so I'm really at a loss here.

It's really not a big deal, either way it's one of my favourite games ever, just wondering if you know what's going on here.

Update: movement speed is properly reset upon using and exiting a ladder, for obvious reasons. Not a particularly annoying fix, I'm now just wondering what causes the movement bug for my own curiosity more than anything.

The Turbo Bug has hidden away in CLASSIC GAME for over a decade now, and sometimes jams your speed up.  I attempted many times to fix it but it seems to be a forever problem.

It really is just One Of Those Things, in that I could never get rid of it entirely.  I believe it boils down to RPG Maker sometimes not being given enough time to run through a speed reset script before gameplay resumes, so it only occasionally neglects to correct your movement rate before the player resumes control, leaving you Very Fast Indeed.

CLASSIC GAME was a big learning project for me, so it is quite crude in its scripts when I go over them, but amazingly mostly works out alright.

Thanks for playing in any case, and if I could suggest only one thing, it would be to try dying somewhere else entirely and see if you're still fast on that last life.

I did learn to be very careful with speed changes since this issue came to light though.

Thanks for the reply, even though I found a workaround it's still cool to know more about how it all functions. HOME GAME 3 is great by the way from what I've played, I'm mostly waiting to get really into it until after I've figured this one out and the other two in the series, I'm trying not to use guides, but yeah keep it up, you make great stuff.
