Lightsaber Controls Not Responding?
Has anyone else been experiencing times in the game where your lightsaber controls are not responding? It seems to pop up fairly regularly. I can mash the RMB or LMB and nothing happens, no attacks or blocks. It's really annoying when it happens in combat but it also happens when I'm just standing around with no enemies nearby. There's nothing wrong with my mouse, I can even go into the map when this is happening and zoom in and out fine using the same buttons. It seems specifically tied to the lightsaber.

Im not going to argue, I made a suggestion. Input delay is a problem with some TV's and the bigger the screen the more potential to introduce it. Google.
You are completely wrong about how screen effect input. IDK what you read but you are probably misunderstanding something but frankly that doesn't matter considering input lag isn't what people are describing.

The issue is sometimes being able to walk around but nothing else for a second or two. It felt similar to the Dark Souls animation locks yet I was not in an animation.

As I said before it was 100% unplayable and was fixed by switching from Borderless Windowed to true Full Screen. I've put an additional 16 hours into the game and never once felt like I was fighting the game rather than fighting the enemies which is the exact opposite of how I felt for the first 3 hours.

You're not having the issue, for that be happy.
However, this is a computer game. Computers, unlike consoles, are all different and having a top end computer only guarantees the potential to run software well. The devs will either release a patch that will fix it or Nvidia (in my case) will release a new driver that will fix it.

Thank you so much, fullscreen fixed it! This has been making me not even want to play the game. Still have some light stuttering at times, but with everything on epic at 4k with a 6700k I think the CPU is just showing a bit of age.

Sadly going fullscreen for me instead of borderless window is incredibly buggy for me :/ Curse you multi monitor setup!

@SilvermistInc what resolution and GPU ?

You would want to run it in full screen boarderless window with Nvidia Surround or Eyefinity as the Aspect ends up messed up (with this title).

make sure you have the latest drivers

I am running fine in boarderless window @5760x1080 (triple wide 27" 1920x1080 screens)
GTX1080Ti
Solid 60FPS locked FPS and Vsync
(Appart from some dodgy parts of some maps at certain camera angles)

This is a real old PC over 5years now
Windows 10
i7 4790K
32GB DDR3 2400Mhz
Seperate sata SSD's for OS and games
a GTX1080Ti

No OC on CPU doesnt need it to play games.
Marginal OC on GPU 60Mhz and 600Mhz on memory

So nothing special here at all.

I don't want the game on all my monitors is the problem. I just want it on my one 4k monitor. But for some reason it decides to stretch to the two monitors on my sides. My GPU is a 1080ti btw

Then you would be running in a window on just the centre screen, other wise the the other screens would go black :)

That's not what happens when I run fullscreen though. It glitches out hard and tries to stretch on all screens or half on one and half on the other. To be honest, this theme seems to be standard for me when it comes to EA titles.

Not sure what else it could be, running a 2080ti and 64gb of ram

Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one experiencing this super annoying bug. I have been really enjoying the combat in this game, I feel awesome when it's working, but then to suddenly have my controls go out in the middle of a fight really pulls me out of the moment not to mention often ends with my death.

Not sure if its been said before, but just encountered the issue, I just changed the controls temporarily (worked fine) then just changed them back (still working)

This is happening to me as well. There's no stuttering or lag, and I can still walk around and JUMP, but Cal simply does not respond to the mouse inputs for block and strike.
Has there been a patch for this?

+1 getting same issue in borderless windowed mode.
Jax Nov 21, 2019 @ 6:17am 
Changing my settings to Fullscreen seems to have fixed this issue. Haven't had it since.

Well at least I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. However this is a frustrating issue.

Regardless of being in full screen mode the issue still occurs for me.

I have noticed something.
When I first launch the game, combat controls work great, but after about 20 to 30 minutes of game play that's when the controls stop responding. I've tested with three difference mice, two keyboards and two controllers. Same for all.

I've been in plenty of situations where I parry an attack and go to counter attach, but mb1 isn't being recognized. Or I go to attach and run up on an enemy to do a leap a attack and the game doesn't recognize that I'm pushing mb1. Same thing happens when blocking. I begin to hold me block, and after two hits my character stops blocking. My stamina didn't run out, nor is the enemy red stating an unblocking hit is coming. My character just stops blocking. I will have to release the button and press again, but that's no guarantee that I will block. Then I am unable to dodge or jump.

When the controls get like this I have to restart the game and the controls are good for the next 20 or 30 minutes.

This makes me think there is some sort of memory leak causing this problem.



I average around 97fps at 1440p, on epic gfx, I've lowered the graphics, but that had no effect.
