Switch target while moving

[̿ ̿̿ ̿ ̿̿ ̿ ̿̿ ̿ ̿̿]

Hey guys, is there something I'm missing or there's no way to switch target and move at the same time ? I'm playing on keyboard by the way.

It makes the game pretty hard to deal with when there's multiple flying ennemies around.

yeah i also want to know if there's a way to do this

it also can't be done on keyboard, you have to stand still

Yea I hope they fix it, the only way I figured out was to just work around it instead of actually using it, I switch target by spamming the lock on button while looking at my target.

i think this is a problem exclusive to the PC version of both 5 and the special edition of 4. i'm fairly sure this didn't happen on the console version of 4. does anyone know if it happens on the console version? if it doesn't it could mean it's an unintentional bug and can hopefully be patched. doubtful but we can hope. it's very frustrating.

it happened on console, its a flaw, but its made even worse with how this game lingers the lock on after release to prevent reversals, and how in lock on the game thinks anything past 180 is a simply forward. Absolutely maddening, latest patch also seems to increase the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ camera problems in boss, without giving us an option to add back reversals or other lock on targeting options.

What baffles me is DMC3 never had this problem, and even on the PC HD Collection still does not have this problem. It's extremely jarring considering that just about everything else about this game is a pretty straight upgrade from 3 and 4. They already had the lock on perfect for 3, so why change it in literally every game following it?

I have nothing to say but that I agree 100% lol. DMC 3 had the best lock on of this type. And DmC actually created a great psuedo soft lock. It seems like they should have went one way or the other, but decided to merge some aspects of soft lock and hard lock without actually coding around either one. The reason no lock on works in DmC is because the game's move sets are intelligent and target threats, it assumes if a flying enemy is about to shoot you, and you jump and calibur two bats in front of you, you're probably trying to hit the one about to shoot you. Anyway, theres a bunch of cool mods people are working on, so hopefully they'll let us enjoy the combat in the void etc.
