Problems with jump pack ability?

[Fandabidozi]

I am having big problems with the jump pack ability where a lot of times it will perform a dash instead of a jump pack assault. Has anyone else experienced this?

[Jorge666]

Yeah quite a lot, holding the button longer/harder helps, few times I've wasted both charges

[Voldo]

Yes. The devs are aware of this.

My friend with whom i play had the same problem.

I have to stand still and not running to use it properly

I have found this helps also but doesn't always solve it for me.

I'm gland I'm not the only one. It's really annoying as I have died numerous times being wiped out by a swarm because I wasted 2 charges as a dash instead of a ground pound.

its certainly broken. i think ive found that when its bound to Q it does the dash more often. ive also found that if you're holding the ability key while your character is finishing an animation and let go when hes able to move again, then it consistently does the dash move on button release, which i dont think it used to do.

for now, i have bound jump pack to V, but then i cant use shield on heavy so i have to rebind it back to Q when i play heavy

i hope this is fixed soon. i cant believe they either just dont test anything before they push it out, or some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ manager makes them push the patches out regardless of bugs

Yup,
I reported on this shortly after the patch as well. Something in the 5.0 patch hosed something up with this.

Well just tried it out after the hotfix,

I admit I was playing against mostly Chaos so not much melee and not much on the game mechanics side, but my Jump pack didn't auto dash me and waste both my Jump pack charges. Though admittedly I'm a lot more careful than I used to be in Melee because of the previous bug so don't know if this got fixed.
