Finisher (Circle + Triangle) bugged, sometimes have to click it like 3 times for it to work?

[magnolia]

Wondering if anyone else has had this issue, and if anyone has found a fix.
Sometimes i'll try to do a finisher (clicking Circle + Triangle together) and it doesn't work the first 2 times, will just dodge - usually the third try it works.

It's annoying, sometimes it's there but ends up going away, idk. Anyone else?

I find that you have to press the buttons in a specific way. Same thing happens to the ground pound attack. Not sure if it's a bug, but it certainly feels that way.

Yeah, I get this weird bug, too. Ground pound is the same thing. Anything that requires a two-button press is kinda screwy.

Works about 99.9% of the time on Xbox One controller.
Dualsense, it works about 75% of the time.

Xbox One controller's better anyway, if you have one of those, give it an honest try.

This bug is related to the memory leak, I've noticed it myself, playing with an Elite V2 controller, after playing for a decent period of time, 2 button commands stop working properly, finishers, ground pounding, suit powers. you can get them to work, but you need to press the command repeatedly.

Quitting back to desktop and loading back into the game fixes everything.

Yeah this definately happens after playing for a longer time, restarting the game helps, otherwise i just spam dodge

I'm using the xbone controller, and it does not work 99% of the time. this issue crops up just as often. So it's not a controller issue.

So i played through the entire main story and did a 100% completion run without getting this issue. But now im getting it quite a few times in the DLC... and only after an hour of play. frustrating with the screwball challenges!

Doing the button combo for the finisher has always been easy and you could trigger it at pretty much any point in the combat... but for some reason it doesnt work when this bug is happening? sad really as it can really screw up challenges. But this is seemingly a general button input issue cause i can also see R2 for example dropping out when swinging on its own aswell.

Happens here as well. I just quickly press 2 on my keyboard to trigger a finisher when it doesn't work on my controller, after which it seems to work fine? At least, it was working fine after that. Although oddly, it is sometimes limited to specific enemies (like Fisk's men) instead of being for everyone.

I was under impression the combo didnt work only because the Circle + Triangle icon didnt show up or because there wasnt enough heat action. I usually get swarmed by demons, so I thought its that.
Cant really replicate the issue myself.

[CuddleBear]

ok, so just restarted my game and that did not help me at all. wonder what causes it, reconnected my controller on BT aswell. worked pretty much flawlessly for the entire main story. weird it would mess up for me like this.

Dont think I noticed that problem with finishers but this sounds like the ground pound move to move. Even without joysitck movement Spidey still webs across instead of slamming down.

[CuddleBear]

ok, so after a restart of the game, a full pc reboot and ofc reconnecting the controllers. i think this screwball challenge is bugged or something as i cannot get finishers down as easily like i used too at all. got the 1k+ finisher use benchmark everything is correct... it just doesnt accept my input at all.
finishers can be used in the last second as a counter and as a perfect dodge. frustrating as i have used finishers this way the entire game and not it just fails me.

if i use it as a counter, as an last second escape like i have used it my entire game and this is happening i just get hit and loose my combo making the screwball challenge a real pain in the ass to do with gold.

you know what, there is always the share button or the touch pad that stays unused or even the motion control somehow. it IS an SteamInput title so its quite simple to setup, going to test with mapping the finisher buttons to my DS4 Share button. Ill report back!

[CuddleBear]

yup, mapping it to the share button is much better and works as expected when this bug or whatever this is happens in your game.

[Confidy]

have you tried right clicking on the game and clicking Properties > Controller > Disable steam input? I had this issue really bad where it would take 5 or more presses for it to work. Turning off the steam input fixed it instantly
