Bug with charged attack ?

[Shini]

I have the perks to run while charging an attack, but even then, it keeps randomly triggering the attack instead of charging it.
Not pressing any other button than R2 and left stick, and tested with 3 different controllers.
R2 button is pushed all the way down, as much as physically possible without breaking it, yet the charge randomly stops and the attacks whifs.

This is not because of getting hit, I can make it happen in an empty area.

Any idea of what's happening here ? Bug ?

The only time it happens to me is when I'm out of stamina. You require stamina to charge.

This also happens when at half-stamina (not full, because the charge obviously drains it).
That's why I'm quite confused.

I've had that happen before as well. Not sure why. Definitely not always when out of stamina. Maybe it's just a hidden timer? Can't hold it too long? That's what it seems like from my perspective, but yes I've definitely experienced that before several times. Where I'm charging, running around and then it just triggers. Also might be another part of the controller going dead-zone and triggering it erroneously. It does seem to occur when I'm running, moving rotating around the camera and then blam.

No, this isn't it, there's something else going on, I just want to figure out what it is !

Yeah I thought that was a deadzone issue at first, but after testing with 3 controllers (2 Xbox ones and a PS5 one), I'm still puzzled.

Glad I'm not the only one noticing this btw, what you're describing is exactly the same issue I have.

This happens to me too, tested it for 2 hours last night. Even at FULL stamina every once in awhile the charge will auto go off right after starting the charge. Un specced out of everything and tried again, same issue. Yes i understand it happens when out of stamina but there is another issue where it will end the charge even at full stamina with a charge. There has been multiple times where I start a charge and then start running in to begin the fight, only for the charge to cancel itself right after I start

Similar problem with mobile spin. (the spin staff that can block projectile). it could stop randomly while player is having a lot of stamina

Have you tried swapping the controller setting to A?
If you hold Y/Triangle it happens anyway?

I'm playing with this setting and it never happened.

very good point, might be an issue with type B controls, will test when I get a chance.
Wouldn't like to switch my settings just for this after 40+ of playtime tho...

Sounds like a different issue to me, never had the controller disconnect here.

As discussed above, I tested with 3 different controllers and it happens with all of them. Also other users have confirmed this also happens to them with type B config.

I'll try type A, but switching my control scheme with 45 hours of playtime feels very annoying... (because yes, I played 45 hours without using the charged attacks because of this)

[Shini]

Ok tested a bit more an something quite strange happened: I switch to type A, no issues, then switched back to type B and then no issues either ?
This is very confusing.
