Force Lift/Slam not working well

Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:PlayStation 5 Digital Edition
Summarize your bug Force maneuver (R1 + triangle/X) doesn't work / too small a "sweet spot" to use it.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Most frustrating place to attempt to use it was KOBOH - VISCID BOG, near elevator. Three platforms that need to be risen to cross the bog to reach echo.
What happens when the bug occurs? Force maneuver doesn't work / hard to find a spot to highlight the objects both with camera and player movement.
What do you expect to see? Flickering highlights of movable objects / no highlight at all. Sometimes reloading save helps but still very difficult.

Moving objects with the force is very difficult to do as finding the *exact* spot to highlight the objects is hard to find. Stationary enemies (ceiling turrets) have the same story, very difficult to slam/lift them. Moving enemies seem to be fine.

  • PS5 - Force lift/slam not working consistently. Often, Cal performs a force saber attack (triangle button) despite me holding R1. Items highlighted in blue often disappear as highlighted items within a split second not allows them to be selected for lift / slam.

    Unable to move across spires in bog. I can get the first spire to lift, but when I get onto the first spire, the second spire never allows me to select it, or Cal keeps performing force attacks instead of lifting the next spire. As this is very time sensitive, cannot progress area. Closing and restarting game had no effect. Extremely annoying.

    Have also noticed that I can rarely “catch” rockets and repell them back toward enemies despite using the correct force buttons, in the correct order. I usually just get blown up, which is again, incredibly annoying.

    And as I know you’ll ask, yes, my PS5 is on the most recent software update, and the game is running the most recent patches.

    @5a7706c0e1a987e8  Have you re-bound any controller buttons, and if so, does it help to reset to defaults?  Even if you'd rather not play that way going forward, it would be useful to know whether this made a difference.

  • Sometimes when it is prompted to hold R1 down and then press x or o to use the force on doors or other things the prompt is only shown for a split second making it impossible to press the button before it disappears. I experienced this a few times throughout the game already but it seemed to have gone away after restarting the game. But now however often I restart and replay since my last safe the button glitch always appears at the same door during the confront Dagan at Koboh Mission.

  • I was able to re-bound the inputs to different buttons which worked better, but still not consistent. Re-bound buttons back to default and again, works better, but still not consistent.

    Thanks for trying to help!

    @5a7706c0e1a987e8  I've merged your posts with a bug report for this issue; hopefully that will help with visibility.  I don't have anything else to offer, unfortunately.

  • im at the part where you get introduced to force slam and r1 is not working whenever I press it and then x it just makes me jump and with triangle it just dose the special attack. 

  • Im there to now its not working. I tried to restart the game and reset the buttons layout but it still not working. Dose someone have an advice?
