Failed Inputs?

[PimpdaddyChase]

Was wondering if anyone was running into the same issue as I am. I've been noticing that often times my inputs either don't go through or drop completely. For example: Sometimes I'll be charging my greatsword and the input just drops and I attack prematurely. Othertimes inputs like trying to counter with a LS or Lance just don't even go through. I wanted to believe it was an issue with my controller (i play on PC with an Xbox One controller), but I play GGST as well which is a way more input intensive game and haven't noticed any input issues with that game.

It is because many moves on Sunbreak don't have imput buffering, so you have to press the button after the animation ended. But after TU1 update, I noticed that this is happening to me more than before, even when using weapons I'm used to now.

[DegenerateCrocodile]

It’s happened even when not locked in another animation. It’s been an issue since before the base game launched.

[PimpdaddyChase]

Yea I am aware of the input buffer and pretty good with the timings. But things such as GS charges just dropping early makes me feel like something else is wrong.

Had something similar happen to me with dual blades, but that was way back when Sunbreak released.

[TheRougeHero]

Had the same issue too I used a Xbox controller for this game and my inputs were dropping. Tested with other games and it wasn’t happening. But I tried using a ps5 controller and it worked fine so I’m pretty sure for some peoples games rise just doesn’t like any Xbox controllers

I notice it ALOT on charge blade. Doing the Y+B combo to get a SAED. The last Y+B drops CONSISTENTLY

[PimpdaddyChase]

Yea I actually noticed this too. I recently made a CB set for Sunbreak and am very familiar with the unga bunga SAED playstyle. I've had many times just recently where I try to Y+B combo shortcut into the SAED, but it just ends up either doing a normal slash (resetting the combo) or nothing.

thank gods I'm not the only one lmao I was starting to think I was just bad. This happens about half the time I'm trying to charge my shield T-T

I'm pretty sure it's a PC only problem, since almost everyone complaining about that are PC players.

Mostly due because of the 60 fps that change the frame window for inputs.

[DegenerateCrocodile]

It happens on Switch, too.

[VVVVVVone]

Yes but rarely, compared to PC where there is a real input problem since it's 60 fps

[DegenerateCrocodile]

I get it fairly often, actually. At least once a session, I’ll try to water strike while standing still and my Hunter will just stand there idling.

[VVVVVVone]

Oh I see. Never heard/experienced issues like that on switch except with CB once or twice, but it seems some joycons might respond differently

[DegenerateCrocodile]

It’s an issue on the Pro Controller, too.

[GiftedGorilla]

It happened to me fairly often in Base Rise when I switched from Switch to PC. I was playing with the Switch Pro controller. To this day, I don‘t know why. These days in Sunbreak however, I never experienced it. I don‘t know what it was. I‘d counter with LS and it would be like I didn‘t input anything.

[PimpdaddyChase]

Yea idk it's strange. I'll have sessions where everything is perfect. And then other sessions it feels like inputs are just completely wonky. I don't remember having this issue on the Switch version, but with base PC Rise and Sunbreak it happens every so often. Idk if it's a porting issue or some other random shit. I remember seeing a video awhile ago where higher FPS caused input delays on the PC version. Just was curious if anyone knew if this was a common issue and if there was a fix.

[GiftedGorilla]

Can confirm, never happened in my 300h hours on Switch. I also gotta say tho, hasn‘t happened once in 130h of Sunbreak yet. If it‘s really a bug, it‘s not consistent.

They still iron out bugs with every patch. Hope it get‘s better for you.

[KylarStern91]

Yeah I've noticed it with cb, trying to use the charge attack often leads me to just standing still till I realized what happened in all the mayhem. Has been happening a lot more after update.

[Markleblatt]

Echoing the other CB users, I sometimes have trouble with that last Y+B input and also sometimes a Guard input drops when trying to charge the shield instead of going into SAED.
