Galactic Assault camera locks after objective completion, forcing respawn

When you complete a team objective the characters in the servers on pc force your character to stare in one direction and no matter what you do or move your mouse you cant move, you have to respawn for it to work normal again. but does it multiple times in the game. Please fix this issue EA and update the game.

  • This actually sounds like something specific to your configuration. I don't recall seeing this as a wide-spread issue, although I'd be interested if anyone else has.

    Make sure you don't have a controller and keyboard/mouse plugged in at the same time.

    Its a relatively new bug that affects every player and has existed for about 4 months. At the start of each new phase in Galactic Assault, the camera can no longer be moved, forcing players to respawn. This makes GA currently unplayable, as new players, unaware of the respawn requirement, are leaving the round. Even if you know about the respawning thing its really annoying because you have to respawn with reinforcements and blaster heroes/villains too, which of course means you lose the invested battle points (saber heroes/villains are not affected by this bug). PLS fix this

    If it were every player, this forum would be lighting up like a Christmas tree. 🙂

    It does look like there is an issue impacting multiple people.

    Does the behavior match what's described in this post?

    It affects basically every player, arguing over whether it’s 90 or 100% of the lobby is irrelevant. If you’ve been playing on PC over the past three months, you would've experienced this a bug too. Once all objectives are captured (in GA) during that phase, your camera freezes.

    The kill log then fills up with “… is no more” because everyone has to manually respawn or die just to reset their camera.

    Most people don’t go onto EA Forums just to report a bug when the game is no longer getting updates. Even reporting cheaters doesn’t do anything.

    No, it does affect EVERY player on pc atleast. Except Saber Heroes/Villains and Vehicles are not affected too i think. And to your second question: I dont play Ewok Hunt, but the bugs that appear in the post you mentioned dont quite match the problems in Galactic Assault. The only thing that seems like to appear in both modes is the camera lock thing.

  • Its a bug introduced by EA when they fixed cinematic camera tour and other exploits hackers used. Unfortunately we have to wait another few years for EA to fix that.

    I wish they would fix it but I don’t believe they are touching the game at all
