Light burst doesn't fall down?

[Turbosheep]

Has anyone found a fix for this bug?
Normally the light burst 'orb' falls down, allowing you to use Bash on it.
For me it just stopped falling down - like a bullet it just shoots up without ever falling.

You gotta charge it for a second before using it to get the bigger ball to bash on.

[Turbosheep]

I understand what you mean!
But it's not that I can't use bash on it, it's that the ball doesn't come down ever.
Which means I don't get to use bash on it because it flies away like a bullet.

I have this issue too. It started in the desert area. It is incredibly frustrating right now since it makes me unable to access areas I could previously go to.

Someone, PLEASE! Find a fix for this!

If you already finish Baur reach, don't bother with light burst anymore aside using as attack
When you get the last ability Launch, it literally replace mobility of light burst

[Turbosheep]

Yeah, it appears Light Burst isn't nearly as important as I thought it would be.
So not a softlock, luckily.

I haven't finished Baur's Reach and just noticed that I have this same issue. Is there a fix for this?
I'm currently using the patch2_testing beta.

I had this "Light Burst Rocket bug" last month in Baur's Reach, where I actually did need it for traversal. Went away after restarting the game:

I had the same glitch while trying to get the spirit light container above Mouldwood entrance. It fixed itself somehow while I was in the area. That area has upwards draft, maybe it is related? You could try throwing light bursts in different directions, near or inside the draft, including in the air

Uli (clever name, incidentally), in my Baur's Reach playthrough I tried firing in different directions, approaching or retreating from updrafts. The result was the same; the Light Burst rocket action didn't cease until I restarted the game.

Happens to me in Baur's reach to access higher areas. Quitting and restarting the game helps.

I'm stuck in Looma pools because of this glitch. I'm watching youtube videos as I thought I'm doing something wrong but I'm not. I tried throwing an uncharged light burst but that does not let me bash it and now I'm stuck in the Looma pools area where Kwolok spoke and went away.

Need help on this as redoing the game without guarantee that this will not happen again will make me rage quit and refund this.

btw, I also tried changing the screen resolution and changing from fullscreen to windowed borderless and vice versa and nothing worked.

[callmark]

ok, just kidding. im too caught up in this game to quit now.

restarting the game works!

but still this and the error in some sound effects are still bugs that needed fixing.

ps. now the giand sandworm makes me want to rage quit! tried and died too many times! aargghh
