Healing not working

[Deviled Avacado]

I'm not sure if this is a bug, or I'm just not understanding something about the game play, but sometimes my healing just doesn't work. I hit the button, Cal says the line, but nothing happens. Nothing else seems to interrupt me either, as it sometimes happens after I've finished the fight.

Anyone else having this bug?

you have no healing packs to use?

This happens even when I'm at full healing packs.

If the animation (sequence) gets interrupted, it won't work. Some have trouble while running, they say, but I do it and Call just starts walking normally and it completes.

But if you're in a fight, it "breaks" the sequence if something attacks you, and it stops, even though he says the line. Same for getting attacked. You have to plan healing and make sure it can go all the way to him stabbing himself with the stimpack.

I understand this, and there have been a fair share of times when it has been an attack that has interrupted/killed me. That's not it though. I'll have made plenty of space from my enemy. I'll have my guard down, and it still doesn't work. The only other animation that is playing at the time is, maybe, me walking.

That's different from how it works for me then. Doesn't sound right. Definitely dodging, jumping, and getting hit break it, but that makes sense. Have you tried verifying game files?

I don't think it's a bug. You just need some distance (from your enemys) to heal yourself.

I have. Still no change.

It happens outside of combat too.

Had this happen a few times. I always chalked it up as bd being a lazy ♥♥♥♥♥ and it didn't bother me

[Highlancer]

Yes, had this happen to me way too often to not bring in frustration.

Not only with healing, but also with parrying or even attacking.

If you mash attack or block buttons, these actions will not work. This is how the game is coded--you can easily test it by rapidly pressing block button when someone attacks you. You will get hit on 2nd attack as first will be blocked but next one will not be blocked if you rapidly mash the button.
I did not notice healing not going off without a cause, ie. enemy hitting me or dodging away, but maybe if you press healing multiple times it might break the heal.

[Highlancer]

I don't MASH buttons, as I play on kb.

I also don't spam keys for any of the aforementioned actions. Sometimes the block action (right-click) doesn't get the character to do what it's suppose to do. Same with attacking.

It's simple as that.

The enemy start it's attack, and BEFORE he gets to hit me, I press block, but the block doesn't happen and AFTER that the enemy finishes it's attack, by hitting me. This never happened in a game like Dark Souls; despite it's flaws on PC, at least the combat worked there 100%.

[Baron01]

I agree that the combat and control scheme of Fallen Order is not even close to Dark Souls games or other souls-likes. However, I do not think Fallen Order ever aspired to be a next Dark Souls.
I can not talk about keyboard & mouse because I only played this game on controller, and would never try any 3rd person action game without it, however, blocks or attacks not going off if you repeatedly press associated buttons is absolutely a thing. Block is also weird because you must press and hold the button in order to properly block or parry. If you just press and release the button, it is very likely you will get hit. This is not 100% as you might time it right but I found it is much safer to press & hold--major difference to DS games where you just pressed for parry.

happens to me too. Sometimes BD just does nothing

[Highlancer]

"Hey, works for me, pal, you must be doing something wrong".

You press a button that should do a thing that DOES NOT HAPPEN. It's really simple. Multiple people report this problem...

If you didn't even touched the mouse and keyboard control - the place where the issue occurs, for me, at least - why do you need to join the discussion not knowing what it's all about?!

Just...

Not with my license. I'm play Fallen Order on PC.
