Rag Doll Effect Broken/Stuck in Scenery

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug While playing the game presently......it seems that the rag doll effect is breaking and causing a lot of bugs to occur in the game now. 1. When getting force pushed or pushed by han's detonite charge(or anything similar) you get bounced off of walls pretty hard and go all over the place like a pin ball machine now. 2. You also seem to get pushed much farther away than the max star cards for force push would allow. It seems to through you all the way across the map in geonosis sometimes for example, which is a huge map. 3. You get pushed into objects that cause you to get permanently stuck. 4. You get pushed and stuck in the floor even when the floor is flat and no other objects are around you. 5. It also seems that you are getting "pin-ball" bounced super high into the air off of the floor 6. You get stuck a lot in the stairs of Naboo HvV map. There are numerous examples.....but the rag doll effect doesn't seem to be working properly anymore and is getting worse in terms of unintended side effects.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? willywonka7
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 02/07/2019
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) 9:20 AM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? EST (IET) - GMT - 5:30
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have someone use force powers, or special abilities that have the potential to push or move people around. Try these abilities near walls, stair walls, ramped surfaces(starting point for lightside on Yavin HvV), try it on Geonosis HvV by the cliffs, and Naboo stairwells.
What happens when the bug occurs? You get pushed farther away than your suppose to, you get thrown super high in the air (higher than luke can jump-force push combo....as high as boba can go sometimes), you get bounced off of walls even though you should hit them and land on the ground, you also get stuck in the wall/object/ground unable to move.
What do you expect to see? The ragdoll effects should be much less severe and i shouldn't be getting stuck in any surface or object in the map.

  • Hello @MasterPadwan77 and thanks for reporting in!

    I've not noticed this problem myself yet and am able to force push users around. Next time I use some force push abilities, I will try to aim at some environmental things to see if the bounce is indeed far too much. If I see the effect, I will post a video here!

    Keep in mind that there are other bugs active in the game that cause players to be stuck very easily on every map in the game, described by this thread here!

  • Here is a video I found online of what I'm talking about.  I also have my own video too, but most of these videos show what I am talking about.  The bodies go all over the place now when they are hit.  They go in opposite direction of motion and they get stuck in scenery too.

    Obiwan at 5:58 in video (I've noticed that on certain attacks, that you get launched vertically instead of horizontally. Also like with mauls choke throw you get thrown backwards.)

    Yeah it has happen since launch.....but within the past month or so it is getting to the point where it occurs every game now instead of every 50-100 games. Sometimes it even happens multiple times in a game to the same person or a few people. It's becoming worse.....I think that the servers need a rest or something too to help.
  • Yeah it has happened since launch, but it has gotten drastically worse since then too.  It also happens more frequently as well.
