UPDATE: *Official* Fix for A.I. glitch in the PC port

[Forte224]

This thread seems to be staying active so I'll keep adding updates here until it dies or something. The top update is the most recent one:

UPDATE (02/03/17): vJoy begone!! An official patch was released that fixes the A.I. bug (and the sound bug) Now stop bumping my thread! :P

UPDATE (01/21/17): So if you plug in a second controller, go to controller options and apply the second, third or fourth character slot to that controller, then leave that character on Auto, they'll behave normally. So for example, apply the 2nd controller to Player 2. Then leave Player 2 on Auto, and they'll attack normally. Credit to Lloyd421 for finding this fix. Link to his thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/429660/discussions/0/133255603285443087/
EDIT: Using vJoy lets you assign 3 "fake" controllers to players 2-4, so this could permanantely fix the problem, but obviously an official fix would still be nice. Also, I haven't seen any issues, but who knows how safe vJoy really is

UPDATE (01/27/17): Found something interesting. First of all, someone said if you make the 1 player slot into an Auto A.I. they behave normally. I can confirm this is true. Second, if you go into strategy and turn the 2, 3, or 4 player slot A.I. ally's action from "Be Agressive" to "Hold Nothing Back" they will attack more frequently, but they'll be sort of laggy about it. For instance, Velvet will combo really slowly, as if she presses X, then waits, then presses X again, then waits, etc. Such a weird bug.

I've seen it mentioned on other threads but no official thread. There's a glitch in the PC version where your A.I. party members will only attack once and then walk backwards, they won't perform any combos. There's video proof right here:

Let's hope this gets attention and is fixed soon!

EDIT: Just to be clear this isn't my video, I found it, then checked my game after getting the first party member and saw it was the same and that many other people were having the problem

This is a strange bug, did you have the same issue in the demo?

I will report it :)

Yes, the bug is on the demo too, but I though it was just Tales having bad AI so I didn't bother to report.

read bugs list, will you ? bugs are normal but MANY game breaking bugs at launch isn't, you stupid fanboi
my GTX1060 can hardly run this game at 60fps, what does this crappy port require then ? GTX1080 or SLi TitanX to achieve 60FPS ?

there are so many problems yet there is not a single word from the dev, fine then keep defending their ♥♥♥♥

Then there is clearly something wrong with your pc.It's Running here at 60fps @ 4k all maxed out with shadows setted on high on tbfix plus streaming it to youtube @ 2k with a 970gtx.

Meanwhile I'm running an even weaker card, R9 270x at 60fps just fine (not 4k tho lol). So this isn't a bad port at all IMO. Just a few bugs.


Sadly I don't have a 2nd controller so I guess I'll have to do all the damage until a fix....

I just about threw my controller while playing this game exactly because of this bs. I set the guy to never hold back close combat with no regards for healing and he just attacks every other minute then runs around like a moron. This needs to get fixed now. I'm so happy to see there is already a thread about this cause I was thinking to myself how can the AI be this bad. I'm glad to see at least its some sort of bug and not the way it was intended for them to act jesus.

Try setting players 2-4 to keyboard maybe?

Or install vjoy and fake another controller with it.

[Tetsuo9999]

I'd rather not mess with drivers if possible. Can I just remap the controls to keyboard?

[Shiroi]

I used my ps3 controller for player 2 and vjoy for 3 and 4. So far it works like it should and the ai is chaining attacks properly now. The only things that's odd, is three of the ememies have the multiplayer symbols above their heads. If only one enemy remains, it has all three symbols... Anyone can tell me why?

[jodeson]

Is this bug in PS4 version too?

No. It seems to be an artifact of the multiple control schemes available on PC.

So I installed vjoy set it up and pop him on 2nd controller as auto and hes still terrible. Instead of doing one attack and running around he does 2 and sometimes gets the 3rd off but its never anything spectacular. He seems to just pick one ability and spam it over and over then run around like a moron.

Is the AI in this game that bad and supposed to be like this? I'm playing on hard so I was expcting my partners to acutally do something like in the older games. This is a disgrace. Id understand he running around if I set up his tactics for it like defending or keeping his hp up but I have him set for full out attacking and hes just not. I hope they fix this cause this is not fun.

Edit: I don't have more controllers to test if using physical controllers would make the AI work like Shiroi's above but my AI using the vjoy seem only slightly better :<

A physical controller wouldn't change anything. The game can't tell.

That is a shame then. I mean its not like the fights are hard even on hard but I really noticed it on a mini boss where he was just sitting there standing doing nothing unless he got attacked first.

I took a gander at the videos of the same mini boss fight on the ps4 and their AI was actually using their abilities in succession. The difference is drastic.

[Dreamzera]

I can confirm im having the same problem with my AI , and i dont have more controllers to fix it temporaly :(

and just for a comparison check this out , ps4 version (jp one) ... watch how velvet combo in this , and she (or any other) does not do that in the pc version.

Anyone having a problem where after enabling vjoy their camera gets stuck pointing up as if the gamepad was holding the right stick back?

[Gold]

Ya you need to turn your control to gamepad one and switch 2 3 4 to vjoy controls.

Thanks for the post. I am using....

Player 1 XBOX 360 controller - Semi Auto
Player 2 XBOX ONE controller -Auto
Player 3 PS4 controller -Auto
Player 4 PS3 controller -Auto

AI becomes A LOT more useful. Through this fix is really unconventional obviously because not everyone has multiple gamepads, I hope they fix this soon.
