Sniper Zoom Problem

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug When playing as Sniper with any sniper weapon and dual zoom as attachment, it happens quite often that I am not able to switch the zoom mode. The game does not recognize the weapon attachment. When trying to switch between zoom levels, my character will only perform a melee attack instead of switching zoom modes. The bug sometimes goes away without me changing anything. If not I have to disable and reattach the dual zoom perk on the weapon before re-spawning.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? borst_one
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
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? Galactic Assault
What is your time zone? ECT - GMT + 1:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play as sniper character in any game mode whilst using a dual zoom attachment. Sometimes I feel the bug is connected to being killed while having one of the zoom modes activated (you currently aim down the sights).
What happens when the bug occurs? The zoom mode is stuck, I am not able to change it until I die and potentially also de- and reattach the dual zoom perk.
What do you expect to see?

  • Getting something similar on a PS4. When using the scope on the sniper weapons when trying to change zoom levels it sometimes does a melee strike instead. The zoom does appear to change when return to the scope view but the melee strike messes up your positioning and interrupts sighting. I haven't found a way to escape the melee strike bug until I respawn.

    Yep, I've had this happen about 50 times, the only way to fix it is for your character to die and restart, or to quit the game and restart.

    I don't think EA are going to bother fixing this, it's been happening for months now.

  • Lots of people reporting this in various threads.  I've noticed that this almost always happens to me after dying while in scrambler infiltration mode.  

  • Yeah, I'm having the exact same issue.. I also noticed that on some occasions, I am actually not even able to melee.. so both the zoom and melee functions just randomly stop working, then randomly start working again. I tried clearing the keybind and re-adding the keybind when the problem occurs, but it did nothing.
