Magnet Melee Bug - Every button press becomes a melee attack

#1

Ok, I just ragequit my game after two matches where the same thing happened. Every button press becomes a melee attack, and it magnets towards players instead of say: running away. GG.

This is utter nonsense. I’m borderline considering to quit playing this game until they fix their game. Together with everthing that is happening - A NEW BUG!

I have no idea how it happens, or how to trigger it, but at random times every button you press become a melee attack.

So I leap in, I attack this dude for some pressure and I jump out. But instead… I hold CTRL (leap) and I do a melee attack. I press SPACE and I do a melee attack. I charge my Plasma Cannon, it flips, either it shoots without charging… or I - guess - melee attack. So I try sprinting out by pressing Shift, but I don’t run. I do a melee attack. So I try to switch weapons? Melee attack.

It goes away after like 10-15 seconds. But I lost two matches today because the game got an epileptic attack.

As a oldschool game-journalists this game is literally one of my favorites at the time. But if I had to give it an honest score? 4/10 Right now.

The bugs are game breaking. Not just one. Dozens.

Totally agree- games almost not worth playing in its current state but when it works it’s fun. When it works.

That melee attacking the air has happened to me a lot, same with plasma caster being offset to where the reticle is and the stamina bug, not sure why all of a sudden I’m experience all the bugs at once, but I guess that’s what bugs do in games, appear whenever they want lol.

My problem is, against a good team any mistake will be crucial. You cannot make mistakes, neither can they. Fireteam movement is near close to perfect for first person gameplay. With the exception of “Skyrim rock jumping” mechanics. Fireteam bugs aren’t as noticable. Maybe a reload animation bug. Some exploits you can use while blocking/parrying. Nothing game breaking (to a point).

But playing Predator… every match is a 100% gamble. You can have 5 games in a row without any problems, or have 5 problems within every match, 5 matches in a row. Or you use exploits to your advantage, to win. Say the Leap+CTRL-spam to get out of the slam-lock.

Yesterday I ragequit playing Predator. That doesn’t happen often. I got stuck on a small metal rim 1 meter away from my target. I can tell you that if you miss 3 melee hits while the rest of the team is creeping in your back, and it is caused by bugs… That you will get proper annoyed once you play Beserker and you lose 95% HP in a situation you calculated would only claim 50%. Because of a bug.

Because any good FT team will 100% chase you when you are about to die. And if that happens due to bugs? This game becomes unplayable. You will lose, because the game is broken.

Predator gameplay is buggy as fuck. Not even remotely ready for a released state right now.

And having a bug that turns all controls into melee attacks, while being so heavily focused on skilled 1-man gameplay?
