Devs, please patch this bug...

I must avoid Standoffs because I do not know if the hold Y (Triangle) is going to work or not. I thought it was my controller at first, but I know it's been mentioned. It is literally the only other bug I've encountered besides one time the icons in my Gear Menu were all completely blanked out. Much love, this game is amazing.

Really annoying and makes me not want to play the game. Standoffs are great when they work but the majority of the time it doesn't you just get killed.

Not sure what GPU you have, but on my Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti, I had the same issue. Solved it by going into Nvidia Control Panel and capping the FPS to 60. Some games have weird input drops or physics-related bugs when above a certain FPS (something to do with the game engine itself). As an example, Bethesda games are notorious for having crazy physics bugs with uncapped FPS. Try this out, maybe it helps!

It seems it is linked to higher fps play. I had the same issue. After locking at 60 fps via Nvidia CP I haven't had the problem again

For me changing it to press button instead of hold button in the accessibility options fixed it.

I have a 4080/i7-13700K, thanks for this. I know exactly what you speak of in regards to animations tied to framerate. Yuck...60fps....lol

this ♥♥♥♥♥ annoying asf i hope it gets fixed soon i hate doing standoffs now

Pause the game then exit the pause screen by pressing O or B on your playstation/Xbox controller.

Pausing and unpausing with "start" won't work.

My game has been flawless EXCEPT this bug. It's so annoying.

Locking 60 FPS might work, not tried it because when I lock this game to 60 fps is gets choppy for some reason.

Oh good catch> didn't know that option was there, thanks!

Downside is then all the other menus are toggle too (like wep selecting ones) which is annoying :\

When the standoff started, don't hold Y (heavy attack) when the prompt says so. Hold it during the opponent getting ready animation. To win the standoff, release Y only when the opponent is closing down to slash you. The opponent often twitch to mess with our timing.

This is 100% because you have steam input enabled and are probably using ds4. Disable ds4 and utilize native ps controller support

Well its not, if you looked into it even slightly its been a bug since it was on PS and happens on all controllers and KB/M.

None of the "fixes" people give (like pausing or changing hold settings) have fixed it. So I set my dynamic res to keep me at 60 and so far I've done 3 standoffs and they went off without a hitch. It does unfortunately sound like a FPS bug. Since it's on PC and more rampant since a lot of people are well above 60 fps, I hope they notice and fix the issue, cause playing a modern PC game at only 60FPS sucks.

FIX: just go to accesability and switch actions from HOLD to PRESS. solved :D

That's no fix, because that way the Sword Stance selection, bow aiming (and a few other things) are also toggled, which is in turn very cumbersome.

Yeah I tried that one and immediately turned it off before I could even get to another standoff cause everything being toggle instead of hold was super annoying
