What happens when the bug occurs? When attempting a revive (of a downed, not dead teammate) or self ressurection, the process cancels at random points and instantly restarts from scratch. It acts as if the interact key was released for a brief moment and immediatly pressed and held back again. As far as I can tell, no incoming damage is received when this occurs. I tried rebinding the key multiple times but the problem persists, eliminating the possibility of a bad key on my keyboard. The same thing does not happen when holding the same interact key for scanning survey beacons, the process finishes normally. When the bug occurs, I am often forced to leave my teammate downed as it can take up to 60 seconds to successfully revive them.
What should be happening instead? Revive completing as it should normally.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Attempt revives, but it seems random. Sometimes it doesn't occur at all and sometimes it loses a fight that should be easily winnable. The bug seems rare as I am the only one affected in our group of 6 people who play.
Reviving a downed teammate or attempting self ressurection often gets cancelled as if the key was briefly released and re-held down.
This results in often needing 30 seconds or more to successfully complete a revive.
Tried rebinding. Bug strikes at random and as far as I know doesn't affect everyone.
I found a few posts dating back a year with the same problem, example on this link:
