Product: Star Wars Battlefront IIPlatform:PCWhat is your issue related to? GeneralSummarize your bug When starting as Rey in Hero Showdown, her lightsaber doesn't seem to ignite, meaning no blade is showing and no humming can be heard. Additionally, while she seems to be blocking halfway decent despite using only air to do so (I didn't really pay attention if I did receive damage though, just my stamina meter was filling up when I was attacked, so I guess I was blocking...), I couldn't attack. There wasn't even an attack animation, nothing happened when I pressed the left mouse button.What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Dacen_ThrenHow often does the bug occur?

If this is the unlit lightsaber BUG that usually happens in the beginning of a match, then Hero Showdown will suffer a lot from this. This BUG is really old, probably from release

This may be the same bug in HvV, in which the lightsaber sometimes just don't ignite. It does happen rarely (happened me exactly 1 time from launch).Just to note, this was reported before here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Darth-Maul-lightsaber-disappeared/m-p/6772751#M13813I made a video about it in the thread above.Would be cool though if you could switch the blade of with the melee button, but that is a different story.

Happened to me with both rey and darth maul

https://youtu.be/7🤭SUiPfcgE?t=340 happens to vader @ ~5:44 and again ~9:09

Well, it only happened with Rey, the other lightsaber users were fine. And it happened round after round. So... there's that. ^^

Hey @Dacen_Thren What GPU are you using?

I just played this mode my self and her lightsaber for Ray was working fine for me. 🙂

While I haven't seen this happen in a round, the lightsaber visuals don't always display on the pre-round animation, and the sounds seem slightly off.

Me too. Video of the match.
Platform: PS4
Summarize your bug: Rey's lightsaber didn't appear and I was unable to swing in normal saber attacks. All of my abilities still worked and the only way I could damage an enemy was by using Dash Strike with the invisible saber. I could also block.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? No idea but see video of the match. I picked Lando, Chewie, and Rey in that order while my teammate picked Yoda all three times. We lost each round. For what it's worth I tried to reproduce the issue next time by playing Han, Lando, then Rey (again with Yoda), but that time Rey played normally.

I’ve had this bug occur to me in Heroes Vs Villains. Both for Maul and Rey. Even before the Solo update. It’s not as frequent but annoying since they can’t use their saber. At least I couldn’t. I had to die to get my saber to ignite again. Wouldn’t want this to happen in GA and showdown. It’s a very random bug.
I play on PC btw.

@EA_Atic I'm using a Nvidia GeForce 1050 Ti. But it's not just a visual glitch. The lightsaber doesn't work. If it was just visual, I wouldn't even complain. ^^
