God dammit this is annoying. Not just the glitch, but more the fact that DICE either doesn't seem to have a clue about this bug or just choose not to fix it, despite it being game breaking.

This is a game breaking bug that has been around for seemingly months with no shortage of complaints and reports, yet nothing has been done to fix it. And no, it's not my controller, I was able to re-create the bug 100% of the time at a certain point in the campaign and many other people have had the same problem. I do not need to try another controller.

    No but I didn't need to because a.) I could recreate it on a specific area in the exact same place turning different directions, not just the first direction that I was turning when I encountered the problem, b.) other people have had/have this problem and nothing has been done c.) it's only Battlefront 2 in which I have this problem. No other games.

    Edit: I've also heard people complain about this problem being a thing on PS4 too.

    Edit 2: I'm gonna play again now and try without aim assist turned on. However, if that fixes it, just because it does so, does not mean it's not a bug. I should be able to have aim assist on, and not have a problem.

    Edit 3: As expected, turning aim assist off did nothing to fix it.

  • Yes but dont forget PS4 also has joysticks on the controllers.  The system that has it the worst is Nintendo 64. Their joystick sucks for that problem.

    And im sure you can recreate the problem anywhere not just the spots you try.

    The system that has it the worst is the Nintendo 64? Come on! Don't blame the console that created the 'console joystick' in the first place. I know it's terrible, but it was the first of its kind 😉

    My first videogame console BTW, spent a lot of my childhood playing it, good memories.

    No, it's somewhat random. You've clearly never had the problem so you clearly don't know what it's like. It's seemingly random but happens more when it's busy, i.e. Galactic Assault. Some people have said that it's server issues because it happens when there's a lot of players. And no, I can't recreate it anywhere because it's nothing to do with my controller sticks. If it was to do with my controller sticks then it'd most likely happen when looking in a certain specific direction, but it doesn't because there's nothing wrong with my controller. If you'd have read anything I've said, you would've seen that a.) I could recreate it on a VERY specific spot (a small doorway leading to a bunch of enemies. Every time I walked through it in one direction, whilst turning, it'd do the bug) b.) other people have tried changing controllers and even bought brand new controllers, but the problem hasn't gone away.

    This. Is. Not. My. Controller. It doesn't happen in ANY other game. ONLY BF2. Sorry for caps again but you seem to misunderstand.

    Go through each one of the links I've given and you'll see that it's not just me.

    @Gopnikolai 

    Can you provide us the following so we can investigate further?

    • Is your controller updated with the latest hardware update? (You have to go to your Xbox Settings to check that)
    • Are you using a standard Xbox One controller that came with the system, elite controller, or custom third party controller? This is important to determine whether our game is compatible with that controller type
    • Are you using a custom button layout?
    • Does this issue happen with a different controller? 
    • Does this happen when the controller is wired in? (This helps determine if it's a sensor related issue)
    • Do you have your game installed on an external hard drive?
    • What type of Xbox One do you have?
    • Does it happen after these steps?

    Power Cycle the Console

    1. Turn off the Xbox One console by pressing the Xbox button  on the front of the console for about 10 seconds until it shuts down completely.
    2. Unplug the console's power cable. Wait 10 seconds.

    Important Be sure to wait 10 seconds. This step resets the power supply.

    1. Plug the console power cable back in.
    2. Press the Xbox button  on your console to turn on the Xbox One.

    Clear Mac Address

    1. Clear the MAC Address: From the Xbox dashboard select Settings>All Settings>Network>Network Settings>Advanced Settings>Alternate MAC address>Clear, then restart your Xbox.
  • im having the same issue but with the run button and it's basically every match. happens in all gamemodes but i play heroes vs villains the most. have to close the game to to fix.
