Weapon combo bug

Game mode: Online Private
Type of issue: Bug
Server type: PVP
Region: EU


Many players can’t do an entire combo with any kind of weapon. Sometime 2/4, sometime 3/4…
Restart serveur / restart the game etc don’t change anything.

New bug ? Did anyone have the same problem ?

Yes everyone is experiencing this bug ATM and it needs to be fixed with a hotfix quickly.
Because of this, PvP is not playable atm.
Funcom devs, please make more testing before releasing your patches.

Working fine in Single Player and on my server. Are there repeatable steps to get the bug to trigger?

I did not experience any issues with combos in SP as well, at least nothing I could notice.

Hey there,

We introduced a new measure to avoid input spam that will trigger if a single button input is queried multiple times over a short period of time. If the keys are alternated this measure will not trigger.

You can’t really alternate keys if you’re doing a 4-light combo…

You really have to be spamming left click to get it to trigger. I just tested it in SP. A typical 4 left click works as it always does. I didn’t notice the issue at first because I don’t spam left click to do a 4 hit combo, I click 4 times. If a player spammed left click like, 25 times in super quick succession then ya, they are going to get hit with a stop.

I’m not getting the interrupt issue either, just pointing out that you can’t always alternate. I suppose I’m not clicking too fast as well.

it’s not a problem of how many time you click, you can also click 4 times, simple the game if you click too fast block you.

The problem is it’s totally impossible to perform a light combo with a predatory blade this way, the one hand sword to recognize you’re performing a combo require a time between the clicks too close to the one the game recognizes it as spam !

The script kids are angry now xD

I didnt notice anything wrong with it now.

Thx for the response. Well, it’s true that i spam a lot my right click for the full combo : D
i have tried and it work fine without spaming :wink:

Haven’t experienced it, probably because I don’t spam buttons during fight.

it is super annoying

That explains it. Actually, this will make people better fighters, because they have to learn the true timing of clicks for full combos. I was wondering why occasionally against NPC’s, i would not do the final attack after the last patch…Clicking a little to fast. This goes back to old school Tekken inputs, where if you didn’t do the joystick just right, you would not do the higher end moves. Awesome.

While i understand why this function was put in for those of us playing on overseas servers it makes the game borderline unplayable. For example. I am in Australia. I play on a RP server in the US. My ping is usually between 400 and 600ms. In order to NOT trigger spam i have to wait half a second between each attack and usually this is long enough to ‘drop’ the combo. If i decide to click sooner i get 1-2 attacks and then it doesn’t recognise the third press or it triggers the spam protection, i’m not sure which, but i’m guessing the latter.

TLDR for people with high ping the line between triggering spam protection and the server registering a combo is SO tiny that it’s nigh impossible to do.

I hope to think that there is a solution that doesn’t involve “screw your high ping and play somewhere else etc etc”. This was never an issue until this ‘feature’ was added.

I am experiencing this issue to some extent… I cannot harvest half the time or attack with my tools or weapons when pressing left mouse button…
I cant find a fix.

Are there no servers within a better ping range?

If you don’t spam AF your click you should not have any problem… i can click at leat 13 time for a full combo (who only need 4 click) . Don’t spam :wink:
