@HomerSpinson oh no, they shouldn't need a month to start thinking about an issue. IMO they should take the bugfixing of this game as something more serious. It's infuriating that they take months to fix the smallest of things. It's infuriating that not a single patch has come without introducing a couple or a dozen new bugs. It's infuriating that they oftenly state a bug/issue was improved or fixed when nothing was done actually.
I was just stating how things roll around here. Sadly it's the way it is, and if we want to have a new gen Star Wars experience, they are the only ones that can provide us this experience.
They'll circumvent the issue by saying every studio would love more money and more employees, like we didn't pay full price for this in the first place or like EA can't afford some extra money so they save their image with their Disney partner. The state of this game was a choice made by EA, and we shall assume the studio, despite not agreeing entirely, will back up all policies issued by their publisher. Their pay to win microtransactions model didn't work, but instead of fixing the mess, EA left DICE to prove they could revive the game in the direst of situations, and surprisingly they did. The game has gathered a lot of new players culminating in an all time high around the release of Capital Supremacy and Anakin Skywalker. Their method to make this game enjoyable again was to shove us content we asked for and to change the game constantly on player feedback. IMO, this has made this game even worse, it's a broken mess in terms of playability and balance. However the majority of the public serms to like it.
What can we do if most of the players only care about aesthetics and content? The bugs are overwhelming, and only the most commented on get fixed "quickly". So long they can sell more copies, it seems they endure being mocked by how flooded with BUGs their game is.
Let's take Apex Legends as an example, another game published by EA. Their bugfixing processes are measured in weeks instead of months. Their success surely allowed them more resources. This is the treatment the game that shall take Fortnite's place receives.
Anyway, I hope this changes in the future and we get some bugfixing patches that are long overdue.
I agree with everything you said @RogueZeroRendar
Ok so I finally found them:
It's hard to show a BUG where a command isn't processed because we can't show the buttons being pushed. However, as I stated before, double tapping the forward button (or double tapping up in the analog stick for consoles) automatically puts you in sprint mode, but when you're affected by the sprint BUG you enter this weird movement effect where you retrigger the beginning of the walking animation for each time you tap the forward button again. You can see I was "walking" (I was actually using the shift button to sprint to no avail), and then I started to tap the button and this visual effect took place.
I also managed to do this on another match:
In this same match I died and respawned as another character, and the BUG persisted:
Unfortunately I didn't find any recording of this BUG persisting between matches, but I remember this was a thing. As this is a very rare BUG, at least to me, I have no idea what triggers it, nor any method to stop the BUG from affecting you.
Never seen that bug before on the Xbox one. The bug I posted is 100% casued by Palpatines dark aura and the animation of the sprint after is different to the ones you've posted. Maybe it could be because yours is for PC?
Everytime this heroes unleashed event is on this bug happens more often (another clip below) and quite frankly it's a disgrace a game changing bug like this hasn't been at least acknowledged. As you can see I've posted this issue before in this thread and nothing is said and I, like many others, are starting to believe you just don't know how to fix bugs like this which I'm fine with if you just at least say so I can stop posting this issue
@EA_Atic Come on buddy, I've been posting this issue for a long time. Can you at least say that the team are aware of it please. Below another 2 examples. This bug for me either I don't see it for a week or so then I get it a few times in 1 night. Below are 2 more examples
The fact nobody has replied to this from EA tells me they have no idea how to fix it
I'm also experiencing this wtf, Mine is extra weird as I cant run as a hero or soldier, but i can run in vehicles that run. I also cant swing my saber at all, but can shoot perfectly fine. Controller works fine in every other game I play.
It happened to me 3 times in my last gaming session. Each and everyone of those times it happened at random (as a match started or during it), with no discernible pattern to me (once while chatting, other during a chaotic encounter), with the side effects I mentioned earlier (can't crouch with any of the crouching buttons, but everytime I press the Chat Button, the Menu Button, or the Console Button my character crouched together with the normal effect of each button), and so persistent that the only way to get rid of it was leaving the game entirely and restarting it.
Ok so I've just tested something in Instant Action and everything was fine. Then I went to HvV and this sprint BUG happened as soon as I pressed Enter to type something in chat. Then I came back to windows to get here to share this BUG happening to me once again, but I went back to the game before typing here and the BUG got fixed. Then I pressed Enter again to type that to the rest of the lobby, and the BUG got me again.
Everytime I say the 'BUG' got me, it means I couldn't sprint (hitting the sprint button produces no effect, double tapping the forward button also doesn't trigger sprint mode) and whenever I pressed Enter for Chat, Esc for Menu, or ' for Console, besides bringing these windows, my character would crouch (or stand up if it was already crouched), and neither of the crouch buttons would work.
This is the first time this BUG corrected itself without the need to restart the game. And by happening twice in a short period of time, both times just after I pressed Enter for chatting, I believe we're starting to find a pattern here. I'll see if my game wants to bring me any more light on this issue today and if so I'll share the results here.
So I played another match of HvV and despite me trying relentlessly to activate this BUG on purpose, it simply didn't happen. I pressed Enter a lot, tried pressing many things simultaneously, but it didn't trigger the glitch once. So yeah, this is still a mystery
Its 2020 in September and I just installed battlefront 2 on my xbox one, happily ready to play, I started playing the arcade mode and noticed I couldn't sprint, I messed with my settings, and still nothing. I thought that it was just because the game wasn't done installing. When the game finished installing I got on and started joining a match of supremacy, and STILL I could not sprint at all using any heroes or infantry. I tried multiple maps, games, and restarting my xbox. But still I could not sprint so I reinstalled the game deleted my saved data, and once again I could not sprint.
