STANDOFF bugged

[Atomek]

So I can't progress the game cuz apparently the first standoff isn't registering the heavy attack button. Hopefully there's a workaround or a fix soon.

Yeah same issue here, the 4th time it registered me pressing Triangle, but on the second Standoff, it just doesnt work.

Maybe a different problem, but I've noticed so far if I hit the button too quickly once the standoff starts, it doesn't register, even on a second attempt. When I give it a beat pause before pressing, it works.

Go into accessibility options and there is a setting you can toggle will it will automatically do the "hold" for you in the stand offs. You just have to press the attack button at the right time.

I had the same issue and this fixed it.

I'll try it.
Edit: didn't work for me unfortunately :(

The workaround I've found currently is to not hold or press the button at all until the animation of you & the enemy walking up to each other completely finishes. I've noticed if I hold it while walking toward the enemy, it doesn't register. Waiting sorts it.

You have to be doing no attack animations before activating standoff for it to work currently.

I've tried everything you guys suggested, even tried putting everything on toggle in the accessibility options. Nothing works for me.

I just got it to work and you won't believe how lol. By doing the exact opposite you suggested: holding the button just as the prompt appears. These bugs man...

Edit: I tried it again to make sure and I have to be holding the button as soon as the cutscene ends, well before the prompt.

Man, this is crazy. Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try every one of them. But at the moment I'm totally annoyed by this game. Everything was great and then this. I tried PS5 controller, XBox Controller, Mouse and Keyboard, reloaded several times and so far I was not able to finish the first standoff. What makes me really angry is that there are reports of this for PS5 already.

Came here to say this, I found in Reddit, this was an issue on PS 3 years ago and never got fixed... so poor, because its frustrating as hell.

Most people are saying only hold Y or triangle when it prompts, although I am finding it happens even after the prompt sometimes.

It's always been like this, to fix (usually) disconnect the controller (if using one) and reconnect, worked about 90% of the time on my PS4.

This is the only bug that consistently annoys me. I really don't have any other issue other than this. It fails to trigger so my health drops to near 0 every time when this guys occurs.

I just press the Y button when it tells me and it worked for all the standoffs so far

I had already enabled this option prior to starting my playthrough. After disabling it, the standoff on the bridge worked flawlessly all of a sudden
