When I attack and NPC or try to harvest an kill, my swings show blood splatter, but i do no damage. I have to turn around, take a few steps, then i can turn and fight or harvest. On a couple of occasions, this has occurred during a fight. This has been happening for a couple of weeks for me. I donāt know what caused it or if im the only one being affected by it.
Please provide a step-by-step process of how the bug can be reproduced. The more details you provide us with the easier it will be for us to find and fix the bug:
swing weapon or tool at NPC
my quick fix has been: turn, take a few steps, turn again and swing weapon or tool
There are some workarounds that may or may not work still and for all characters.
Removing the bracelet seems the solution working for most.
If you use mods, Char-edit light while using it reset your character and may fix it to.
Some others resolved it ever by loging out, but i imagine you tried this solution.
Itās not a bug related to the last patch, itās a very old bug plaging some players from time to time. But i agree a very frustrating one.
If you search for āaim-buā you may found many treads about it.
If it is as @Vattende mentioned, try to get lower than your target. I have had to jump over more than a few crocs to get ābelowā them. Itās also present when harvesting, especially short iron or rock nodes. I try to find a lower elevation and if that does not work, move on.
This isnāt the aim bug. The aim bug usually has a up or down(usually down) and just turning wonāt fix it that is something new.
There is an easy way to test though.
Get a spear look down in 3rd person. If the spear doesnāt point to the ground it is the aim bug that has been around 2 years and isnāt a āpriorityā because funcom decides to fix bugs the same way a 16 year old girl decided her ābest sideāā¦ likes on a social media platform
Agree, @Kaziklu, the description was too close to the vertical aim issue. @Sabuko, you are welcome to try what I put above, but I think Kazikluās description of determining the aim issue is spot on.
There may be something else going on.
Sabuko, please keep us informed with your testing and we will try to help. Also, the fill-ins above your description help localize problems, lending more information to the peeps here and the devs.
Sabuko if it is the AIM bugā¦ which I have done extensive testing and another user actually sent Funcom a Save file to reproduce it (they apparently didnāt one mine Iām a little vocally critical) there are several long term work arounds.
Log in and out naked. on log in take off your bracelet and die. The bug is a issue with loading the player model so resetting the model once the game is loaded fixes the issue for that play session.
get the Mirror Mod. keep the mirror on your person or in a chest where you log in and out. right click the mirror and hit apply changes without changing anything. Your Character will stay exactly as is but will be reloaded and it will fix the issue for that play through.
This is the hardest and most frustrating. Learn to get on slopes when fighting. Learn to crouch while harvesting. If you Swing crouch and get it timed right you will crouch down while swinging allowing you to harvest. You can get good enough to the point that you at only about 10% slower (in my experience) than normal.
Sadly the bug has been around since EA my current game is 400 hours. The bug started impacting me at about 20 hours. When I quit I go to my base, stand beside my personal chest with my armors in it which has the mirror. When I load I am beside the mirror and before I do anything else I hit the mirror and then I donāt have to worry.
After each patch I check with my spear to see if they fixed it. It only has 6 likes on the Trello board so they donāt care enough to actually fix it. They care more about adding a new cave revamp with a jump puzzle than fixing bugs plaguing players for over 2 years.
As I said Iām 90% sure this isnāt the buy you have as you are not playing single player. It could impact an online Private server if the server is shut down when you arenāt playing.
