I remember trying him earlier and I liked him a lot. But I almost only play hero modes, and when I do GA I try to get a hero too. The other modes I rarely touch them.But as in a weird coincidence, yesterday I managed to record this sound BUG coming from Iden Versio*. It behaved exactly like Obi's one (and I assume it's the same with the Flame Trooper): Wherever she went, I would hear the sound going with her, when she died, the sound stopped completely and didn't restart upon her respawn. I have no idea what triggered the BUG, nor from where the sound originally comes from, but I recorded it and I'll share it here later today.*EDIT: I unfortunately didn't manage to capture it, I was sure I had recorded it, but it seems either I didn't or the clip failed to be recorded. Oh well. But my description is accurate, I remember it clearly. I thought it could have been related to her pulse cannon ability, but she didn't use it before dying while with the bug to see if it cancelled itself (like with Obi's push).

@DYSPROssiumAny idea how this happens to the Flame Trooper? Obi-Wan seems to trigger this when his skill is interrupted prior to being released.I rarely play with him, or in any mode he is present, so I never experienced this BUG before.

Hey @RogueZeroRendar @DYSPROssium Thanks for the update. I'll bump the issue with our specialists. /Ataashi

I haven't had this bug, but once I got 'stuck' in Vader's choke. I was able to move around, but the only way I could face was towards him, and I could only use my abilities for attacking. And, relating to your post, there was the constant 'choke sound' in the background until I died.

This is still happening. Here is a video of today, 10-12-2018, 17:15 of me having this bug on Crait.

I had this too in a game of Blast on PS4. For the whole game I could hear the noise of the flamethrower even though they weren't firing.

I can confirm that this happens to other characters as well. Here is a video of me following Kenobi around the map and you can hear some strange noise that follows him until he attacks or gets into a fight.
Also the flametrooper sound seem to happen 1 in 2 blast matches (the maps with flametroopers at least).

The thing with this bug that makes it so hard to recreate, is that I can only hear it when it happens to other players, but not to myself. I've never had the issue with the sound coming from my own character... So testing seems depends on your teammates
Although it is hard to recreate for me in the live environment, I think it is quite doable in a controlled one. If the devs could play a few matches as the FO in blast on crait, I bet they will quickly notice it happening.
But bugs aside, you should really try the flame trooper out, @RogueZeroRendar. In close quarters, the flametrooper feels awesome to play with and can demolish complete teams 🙂

This still is happening quite a lot after the Dooku path (03-02-2019 now).

I've also heard this Stuck Sound BUG in Vader (Focused Rage Sound) and Obi-Wan (Defensive Rush Sound). These sounds were following said characters all around, until they used their respective abilities that caused the sound bug.
I believe all these sound bugs are related, but I'm unsure. In both cases I brought now it can be fixed by reusing such abilities. This is the same for Obi's All-Out Push Stuck Sound BUG too. Not sure for the flame trooper though, maybe it's his Overload Ability Sound that gets stuck? This would require further testing.
