I cannot aim down sight

Product: Battlefield V
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number Geforece GTX 1070
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region Europe
On which server did this happen? Several
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 13.05.19 22:30
Summarize your bug I cannot aim down sight, I push the button it does half the animation and stops. Even when standing still it can take long time with going back and forth in the animation without ever aiming down sight. This has never happened before and continued to happen for more than an hour.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Go into the game try and aim down sight at someone, or somewhere.
What happens when the bug occurs? it does half the animation, but no sight. For mmg you actually get the stability and the weapon stuck in semi aimed position with no zoom, but able to fire. Unable to use sniper rifles effectively. Happens also in tanks.
What should be happening instead? It should be aiming down sight.

    Not sure why it would do so for Tanks and Bolt-Action Rifles, but MMGs can not be ADS, unless bi-poded.

    Which weapon are you getting this on, as plucky says some support weapons you need to be prone or have a ledge to rest bipod on

    A broad variety.

    The Revolver, gewehr 95, MG42 (When Bipoded naturally), the archer tank.

    I think those where the weapons I tried yesterday.

    This is actually when Bipoded at does not zoom. Funny thing is that the MG42, is able to fire focused, I just can't aim down the sights.

    Meaning it applies the Bipods, and gives the stability, but it won't aim.

    @Thesmer 

    Are you holding down the button to aim down sights or clicking it? That's what it sounds like from your description.

    Try right-clicking on the game in Origin and select "repair" before launching it again. Resetting your key bindings back to default is advised too.

    Hope that helps, keep us updated.

    I am holding the button down. I have done as recommended now, and it did not help I still can't aim down sight.

    Update, I have now changed from hold, to toggle, and can now aim. The hold function works again if I change in game, untill I die.

    I have tried deleting origin and it's cache and reinstalling it without using the cloud, this was the EA support lines suggestion. No change due to this.

    Hey, Try clearing the document folder for Battlefield V and the turn of Origin cloud for Battlefield V. Start the game up and see if the same issue happens.  @Thesmer
