PS4 Broken Combat

I’ve run into a massive issue with the combat where I can’t damage any enemies, I’ve read posts about people on PS4 not being able to use R1/R2 but it doesn’t seem to be the same issue as I can swing my fists/weapon but none of my attacks land or do any damage making any combat completely impossible. Has anyone else run into this issue?

Im having the exact same issue when I have to train with the captain guy, cant proceed with the main quest line because of it.

I did manage to get around it eventually, I deleted the game and re-installed it without the massive update, I’ve noticed a few more minor issues like missing textures but I assume it’s from the lack of the update but at least I can play he game

sorry to hear that, i found a fix, I just restarted my ps4, and unequipped all items and it seemed to fix my issue, no idea which of the 2 options fixed it, I wasn’t going to sit around and wait I was just so happy it was working that I got through it as quick as I could, i re equipped my items, saved and went to attack a guard and it landed, so im assuming all I needed was a restart, not entirely sure though.

Yep I’m having this same issue. I was only able to try the game for a little while last night. The fights I had gotten into worked fine. I was on my way to do the combat training and the game crashed. I needed to go to bed so I thought I would just pick up where I left off last night when I got home from work ( which I though about all day) Now I can’t seem to do any damage thus far not advancing in the training quest. Will see if the mention fixes here will work.

So I can’t confirm which one worked for me either but I restarted the game and unequipped all clothing/armor, exited the character menu , then opened the menu again to reequip all clothing/armor and everything was working fine.

Good to know that there is a simple workaround to this at the moment for anyone else still having problems. Lets just hopes this doesn’t happen again and was just a one time thing. This game is so fantastic in just the short time I’ve experienced it. I have high hopes Warhorse Studios will do some great things! :smiley:

I can confirm it doesnt always work on PS4

I have the same issue Attack do not connect

I’ll have to try the unequip fix when I get back from work, failing that I’ll repeat my current fix and play without the update, I can live with a bit of fps drop and missing textures now and then

Nope the work around doesn’t work on my ps4 neither :frowning: but pressing the hell out of R2 or smashing R2 with a blunt object will SOMETIMES swing the weapon … but it’s rare and in no way viable or even possible to play that way and enjoy the game. If I wanted to I could jab and kick everything ,I don’t usually buy broken games

Have you tried the fix of uninstalling the game then re-installing without the update? It makes the game a bit sketchy but it’s playable

I’ve not experienced the R2 bug and Combat appears to be working correctly for me so far. I’m playing on a PS4 Pro.

I’m on the Pro as well, I’ve not had the R2 issue I just had a problem with my attacks not landing on any enemies

Sorry to hear that it doesn’t work for some, glad to be of help to some though, this game really needs another patch focused on these bugs, they can really fuck your experience up.

I think I know the problem, In my case it was hardware related.
R2 button is in almost all games for shooting or very much used.
R2 is analog value, to scroll menu you use only about 50% of value to trigger, but for heavy attack you need about 95% of value. If your R2 button is “worn out”, then 100% of your force on this button can be about 80% of value for controller (this was my case).
How to test if this is also your problem?: In Windows or Mac exist programs to test the controller. You just plug usb in PC and test if all axis and values goes form 0% to 100%.
What to do if problem?(my case): Open the controller and fix buttons to get 100% again with some glue or buy new controller.

I’m now having an entirely new problem being that the game won’t load any of my saves… such a well built game

I have the same issue with combat… I can swing away at mu sword but nothing connects

Try restarting and unequipping everything, if not do what I did originally and uninstall the game then re-install without the update

Great find.
It really seems this is the problem.
We will be lowering the trigger value. We had 90% which is unreasonably high.

Thank you very much

Úplně stejný problém na PS4. Nemohu způsobit žádné poškození, zbraň vždy jen proletí skrz protivníka a nic se nestane. Jako kdyby úplně ignoroval mou zbraň ani se nesnaží krýt.
Bohužel s tímhle problémem se hra nedá hrát, jelikož při každém souboji zemřu.
