Bug: Darth Vader Force Choke movement broken

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Ever since Geonosis and Obi-Wan released, I and a few other players noticed that Vader's choke doesn't allow you to move with the people you are choking. That means you are not able to carry them off the ledges. If you try to move, only Vader moves but not the people he's force choking.

In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Force choke anyone 2) Try to walk with them
What happens when the bug occurs? The people that are choked remain in place while only Vader moves.
What do you expect to see? The choked characters should move as Vader walks.

I haven't seen this issue reported yet, so I wanted to make it known. It's not fun when you can't drag people off the ledges or move them to something like Bossk's mines.

  • Hello @GhostLordSakai and thanks for reporting this.

    I've also seen a change in the force choke. This is probably done to counter the force choke bug that has been in the game since launch. They weren't able to fix it (so it seems) and thus they removed the ability to move players when force choking.

    I wish to test this further and see if it actually did work. Just as a side note, before the update the amount you could move the players was really short and was almost never used in my experience. I am fine with this change if it fixed the bug.
