Grievous "Unrelenting Advance" animation cannot be seen by other players

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug General Grievous' Unrelenting advance ability animation cant be seen by other players. You can just hear the sound of them spinning and it still blocks (some) laser bolts.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? xXEatThatPieXx
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug?
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM)
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone?
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? while facing Grievous have him do his Unrelenting Advance ability. Only Greivous will see the animation but no other players can
What happens when the bug occurs? Grievous's unrelenting advance animation simply cannot be seen by other players. His extra 2 arms deploy but the lightsabers just drag in front of him. You can hear the sound of them spinning but there are no sparks and no spinning animation for us to see. If you are PLAYING as Grievous you CAN see the animation, however.
What do you expect to see? This is his most iconic ability and its kind of a shame that nobody else can see him actually use it.

The ability still works (sometimes) and blocks 50% of lasers.

This is his most iconic ability and its just annoying how it simply can't be seen by other players. This has been reported by tons of people on the forums and this isnt a hard bug to fix either, im sure.

    Hey @xXEatThatPieXx

    Thanks for sending this report! Our specialists are already aware of it and they're looking into the problem 🙂

  • I usually don't complain about visual bugs because I play on the low Graphical Settings as my PC is a chariot. But it happens on my end as well: If I use the ability, it displays normally, if I see someone else using it, the sabers simply don't spin, but his stance and the sound he makes show that he's indeed using Unrelenting Advance

    Unrelenting advance is so bugged I'm amazed anyone even uses, in GA all it does is get you killed. Saying its a visual bug is one thing but I've found a lot of the time it doesn't even connect with enemies your standing on top of.
