Firstly, I apologize for the long read, but it's worth your while, I can assure you.

Since I was kindly asked by Atic I'll add mine findings from my previous topic here. Hopefully this thread gets more points so that more people can see it.

1. This one occurs 100% of the time: when lightsaber heroes (Yoda/Luke/Rey) block Palpatine's lightning AFTER getting damaged by said lightning, they remain with lightning animation around them. The animation disappears when they get zapped by the Emperor a second time. I don't mind seeing electro Yoda running around, but after a while it gets annoying, plus it makes you a glowing target for the enemy team.

2.This one happens occasionally: Darth Vader remains in his choke animation unable to strike with his lightsaber or use abilities (he goes to normal if he gets Force pushed, though (extremely rare circumstances)). I am not exactly sure what triggers it, but I think it happens when you "cancel" (hit the choke ability again) too fast. Also, just yesterday I saw the wobbling camera when choked by Darth. Since patch 1.2 aimed to remove that effect (and yet it still occurs) this is my chance to plead the devs to return the old choke mechanic back; the new one feels so impersonal and is more like a slight pinch on the cheek than anything else...

3. This one happens every time: you can hear clone trooper voice lines for other factions (most notably a thermal detonator proximity).

4. This one is hilarious: you can hear Bossk roaring like a wookie/Chewie .This happens when Bossk is on my team and I'm a normal trooper.

5. This one is rare: my heroes remain in blinded animation permanently rubbing their eyes. I've observed this on Lando, Rey and Yoda. I don't know what causes it.

6. You all know about the sound loss on big maps (Kashyyyk, Hoth, Naboo). Just to add that in the menus you can still hear music/sound, but as soon as you start (another) game it disappears again so you have to restart the whole game to fix it.

These last two are minor, but I'll mention them nonetheless.

7. With the assault you can hear the refresh heat sound multiple times if you refresh and immediately after that switch to vanguard/scan dart.

8. When you are with Finn's infiltration ability which equips him with a pistol and you use an emote - his rifle will appear floating in the air around him.

And finally one unrelated to the topic bug that I feel it needs fixing soon:

 It occurs 100% of the time. When you use secondary fire and immediately after that try using ion torpedo/disruptor it won't start the lock on until the cooldown of the secondary fire is finished. Those 2-3 seconds can be crucial, especially when you try firing on MTT/AT-AT.

So there you have it. I hope you find the read useful.

    Hey @MasterAmras

    Thank you so much for the detailed descriptions of your issues!

    They are not game-breaking, but definitely can destroy the immersion at times 🤭 I'll provide your feedback to the team.

    There wasn't any wookies nearby, mind you

    Add Palpatine to the wookie roaring roster, too... This is a very funny bug.

    Regarding points 5 and 6:

    I think the persisting blinded animation is caused when the heroes are damaged by Palpatine while they are using an ability.

    After patch 2.0 rollout I once again experienced the sound loss on Kashyyyk, but then the sound was returned to normal. I had just upgraded my graphics card driver before the patch installation, so I guess the sound loss is related to the drivers.

    Thanks for the additional information @MasterAmras 🙂

    Have you noticed any improvements after installing the latest game update?

    Hello,

    Glad to see the community managers are responding to our feedback 🙂

    I haven't managed to test the new patch thoroughly yet (played only a couple of hours yesterday).

    What I've observed as an improvement (and have noticed it to be a recurring trend immediately after every patch release) is that multiplayer is very smooth both in GA and HvVs. With the previous patches it was the same and then a few days after their release the lag was becoming unbearable on most of the servers and tangible on the few playable ones. It feels almost as if some sort of cache memory builds up and prevents the faster network processing.

    I've noticed a few other minor bugs which I will post in a separate topic.

    Thanks for looking into our bug reports 🙂
