Re: Yoda and Luke force push not working

I've tested a bit with the force abilities (which is hard, since they cannot be properly tested in Arcade for reasons stated in the message above this one) and I can confirm that something is off. It seems that it is not only restricted to Yoda's unleash, but it also happens to Luke repulse, Luke push, Kylo pull and Vaders choke.

It may be caused by lag, but I highly doubt it, since I have some recordings (shown below) which were made when having a solid internet connection. Moreover, many other players have reported this bug. However, due to it being a bit rare and hard to spot sometimes, many players will not encounter this bug and do not proceed in given feedback (no giants threads around here).

In the following 14 seconds, I show Lukes force push not working, Lukes repulse not working and Vaders choke not working.

I hope that some community managers or developers can take a look at this problem since it is truly annoying when it occurs. For your interest, all these threads here are about the same problem, reported since launch without any of them having a real response.

Any word that developers have been acknowledged that this is in fact a problem?

I have tried to recreate this bug in arcade, and it happens seemingly random. However, after some time it was possible to get a clear shot of the bug in action (see the short clip below).
There has not been any confirmation yet that this bug is sent to the developers, while many players have described this bug (on this forum, the feedback forum, reddit and discord). Just asking if this whole post has been seen? @EA_Atic

This video confirms that after the update, this still happens.
Please take a look at this @EA_Atic
From this video, it is clear that the animations do work, but no force ability is registered. For both Lukes abilities in a row:

I’ve posted in so many bug reports today lol but sadly it happens and I need to let people know about it. This happens to me and my friends. Luke and Yoda’s push is bugged and it is extremely frustrating in fast paced combat when you’re trying to push so many enemies away and it just doesn’t work. I died on Kamino as Yoda because of this. Please fix this. Yoda and luke are my favourite.

This is another one where Kylo Ren's Force Pull doesn't work on Finn.

I'll answer here too, but maybe a new post with All Pushes included (including Obi's) would be better then this one.
I was reviewing a video on my channel, and found a perfect example of Yoda's Unleash not working. The video below is already on the right time for the faulty Unleash attempt:
