Re: cant swap lightsaber stance
Product: STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug I am experiencing a bug that sometimes prevents me from switching saber stances and throwing my lightsaber. The lightsaber currently equipped stance will remain active (saber ignited) indefinitely, and I am unable to change the stance with the directional pad on the PS5 controller at all. It also prevents me from using saber throw at all.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This one is hard to determine. I had this happen after using the “dancing blades” skill for the dual sabers. This skill allows you to charge and throw both sabers at once that then bounce between enemies. I would often get hit while changing the throw, with blaster fire, enemy grenades, or melee attacks. Thereafter, I found that I was “locked” in the dual wield stance, unable to change to another stance with the directional pad, nor was I able to throw my lightsaber at all.
What happens when the bug occurs? Usually, I was in the middle of charging my saber throw with the dual lightsaber stance equipped. I had recently unlocked the “dancing blades” skill in the dual saber skills tree, which allows you to charge throw both sabers at once to ricochet between enemies. As mentioned, I would get hit while charging the saber throw with enemy fire, grenades, etc. It’s hard to say if it was the actual getting hit whilst charging the saber throw that caused this glitch to happen or if it was something unrelated, but I can tell you that this does happen during combat and the saber throw is somehow involved with triggering it. It does not seem to happen as a result of using melee skills/combos or force powers. Only saber throw, and more specially, the charging of the dancing blades skill with the dual sabers.
What do you expect to see? Well, I would expect this not to happen, meaning I would expect to be able to use saber throw with the dual saber and not have the glitch occur that prevents me from switching saber stances/throwing the lightsaber. The glitch is triggered, then I cannot switch stances or throw the saber again. Resting at a mediation point does not solve the issue either. Fast travel does not solve it. I am permanently locked into only once stance and can’t throw the saber again. The only solution I have found is to exit out of the game and load back into my save. But I have had this happen numerous times, thus forcing me to exit the game and load back in on multiple occasions.
I do not have any file to attach for the bug report. It occurs during gameplay, and I don’t not have any video footage unfortunately to upload.
