On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 28.11.21
Summarize your bug When flying through the map with my parachute, I can perfectly fly my way around the map. However when I press the button to cut my parachute, it is as if my body is still attached to it. I'm still moving very slow and I do not go into the free-fall animation. The same thing goes for Sundance's wingsuit. I can not cut her parachute, it's almost as if the button for cutting the parachute does not exist. A friend of mine says he can cut his parachute no problem, the only reason why I think that is, is because he is on the default button layout while I am on the alternate button layout. (cutting my parachute is key bound to the "Circle" button on the ps5. Has anyone else had this problem?
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Fly off a tall building, open parachute, cut parachute.
What happens when the bug occurs? Cut parachute animation occurs, but the physics do not line up with cutting the parachute. My soldier character just floats without a parachute.
What should be happening instead? Free falling/flying through the air.

Do not have any screenshots/clips to provide. Will provide when I get on next!

  • Do you use alternative/tactic controller settings? That puts crouching/laying down or R3. Because if you do, cutting down the parachute is bind do the crouch key, which is R3 in that case. I had this too but I figured out that cutting down the parachute is the crouch key. 

  • Did you change your Soldier Buttons under Options for Controller - Controller Schemes to "Alternate?" If so, the cut parachute action has been remapped to toggling (quick tap don't hold) the "R3" stick.

  • @Janiso123 Interesting! Yeah I did switch to tactical/alternate. On my screen when I use my parachute it says “circle” is to cut my parachute not R3 so that also must be a visual bug when switching to tactical/alternate buttons. Thanks so much for your reply I’ll try R3 when I play next!
