me too.
it happens when you have a full queue of moves. be patient and wait for the message that says one of your moves cannot be activated because you are KD, THEN press KD recover.
I have had this Bug over and over and over again. /dump no work for me, i just now wait until a message comes up. If you have lagg aswell as the KD bug, then I am afraid that it does not bode well lol!!

After a hunt this morning and getting KD right from the offset, to then spend then next minute being system messaged that i couldnt recover from kd while kd i died. So i set about seeing what i could do to counter it.
Directly underneath the kd recover action tab i have now put the stand action tab. As soon i am KD i hit the stand first then KD recover if this doesnt work do kd recover then stand.
Since doing this i have only stayed down for no more than 5 seconds.

i've heard that if you have a macro consantly spaming KD recovery then when kd's you wont even get the KD animation.. but then again this is only a rumor and sounds like a load of BS to me

Ok I will try that one. /stand then KD recover.
I have heard that /sit /kneel /stand is a macro you can use, because, this is actually the mechanics of the KD recover.
Personally, I get this bug more when i have lag. i.e. you are fighting still kiting away then suddenly a system message pops up telling you that you are KD'd, so I am thinking 'Why am I still running around then' lol. Then the server/client catches up and I end up seeing myself KD'd and realising that the last 2 heals/3headshot-crit combos and my snare are queued up. It is then time to pray and hope that the system catches up without spamming KD recover as there is no point. I look at my health whilst KD'd and wait about 8 secs if I can then try a gentle push of KD recover
sometimes it works.I do not think it is a game bug, but a networking issue. any command like stand or /sit or escape button could be the answer depending on where you are and how much lagg you have.
In truth I really dont know lol. Its up to SOE to have a think about it. I am sure they are well aware.

I use to get this when I would pound on the Knockdown Recovery over and over. I tried just pressing it once and I immediately got up and tried it again and again and it seems to work perfectly for me.
Yes this works for me aswel every time

I am only BH 1324 right now, and about every 4th mark wil KD me, and I just take a nap. I think their CL is usually about equal with me. When this happens I have no choice but to abort the mission- 2 KD's leading to incaps gives you plenty of time to think about how crummy this bug is... I will definilty try DUMP and ESC next time!

Has anyone tried hitting ESC key a few times once they see that "cannot KD recover while KD" ?
If i knew how to repeat that stupid bug to test it, im like 90% sure that hiting the ESC key a few times before hitting KD recover will fix it.
Dr. Jo can you please try typing /dump then try it again and post back here if it works?
I guess I have not been KD'd in awhile, but I have used my KD recovery succesfully over the last few days. I push esc about 5 times, then the hotkey. My toon pops right up- everytime.

dont hit knockdown recovery UNTIL your warm up timer has been through and is ready. thats the only time i have ever got the knockdown recovery thing. you just have to wait until the timer is done, if you hit it before it is finished it will give you the message.

From what I have experienced there is a combat lag that people don't account for. So when you hit something like a recovery macro to soon it actually skips some of the commands or the game is actually trying to catch up and input commands that you previously put in.
To avoid this from happening I suggest you don't use auto attack and don't try queuing more than one move in advance.
For example I'm in a duel I use Leg Shot but before Leg Shot is fully executed I click Adv. Crit. queuing it up to be next. Then when Adv. Crit. starts I queue up Leg Shotagain and so on.
If I was knocked down while queuing moves like this chances are I would get the message we all so love to see.
In other words if you love to queue move ahead of time be patien before hitting your recovery macro, because if you notice a lot of the time when you see " you can not knockdown recovery while knocked down" above that it says "you can not use (some ability) while knocked down" first.
