Hello people, how are you?

Since the latest update my weapons will stop firing when engaging enemies. This bug is really frustrating.

I am on PS5 and no, it is not any of my controllers since it happens with all of them since the update, only happens in this game and somehow only happens when engaging enemies.

I can shoot at walls or the air without the "jamming" but when shooting at enemies this annoying thing happens.

At first I really thought, is it my controllers? I put the button threshold as low as possible, still happened, and like I said, only in this game. Anyone else having this problem, is DICE aware?

I lost so many firefights because of this bug, I get the drop on them, shoot and then the gun just stops firing although there is still ammo in it.

  • This is also happening to me on PS5. I thought it was happening because I was going prone and that was somehow cancelling the firing.

  • I come from PC, I get a similar issue, While shooting, the gun will stop firing for a second, then resume firing later, ive checked to see if its my mouuse, it isnt, i think it might be a netcode issue with EA

    yes guys that's exactly what I'm experiencing,so annoying to have the gun stop firing in the middle of a firefight,please EA/Dice look into this 

  • Will this ever be fixed? Been here since launch and its being blatantly ignored. Basic fundamentals of a shooting game. Its obscene.

  • Same problem here, both on ps4 and ps5 version. It's a shame for such a giant company to leave a bug of this size in the game, making it impossible to have a worthy gameplay!

  • I have the same problem. Im on ps4. To say the truth I've endured many of battlefield bugs, ever since bad company 2. But this one takes the fun out of playing. Almost broke my controller out of frustration the other day
