  • @minnowspe98 It does seem to be a somewhat repeatable bug. I'm thinking it's around some interaction where the screen freezes for a tutorial step and re-enabling controls. For me it was in the mission where it's telling you to use countermeasures for the first time. Screen froze, it told me to do it... then when I did it, the action went live again - but no countermeasures, and no more flight control - I just flew straight ahead until I died. I restarted and got through it without that freezing.

  • Sorry if this is obvious, but just in case you didn't... did you check the control mappings to see what key is bound to it?  I use a HOTAS so don't know the default keyboard binding, but for me it was hat up.

  • Thanks, I’ll check the key bindings next time I’m on.  I guess I just assumed EA would default the key bindings to what their story mode required.  Appreciate the feedback!
