Thread: FIX IT!! Sniper shot, Conceal shot, Cover. Anything with a charge up.
What is the point of having Cover if you have to spend 10 attempts to get it to work? By the time you finally go under cover its usually to late anyway!
I have a good machine, and connection, but if I try to turn any of the settings up on graphics and terrain, I will fail over and over sometimes up to 10 times, with consistancy.
Turn everything down, settle into place for 2 or 3 seconds if I've been in the area for a while, the specials work every time. If I bike in, plop down, and try to use a warmup, it will fail EVERY SINGLE TIME, unitl I wait 2 or 3 seconds (about the time to let even a failed cover to fully recycle), I can reapply cover, snipershot, whatever I want without fail.
Turn every setting down, do everything you can to minimize network lag, and things should work much better. If I leave my computer at regular settings, wait a couple of seconds at my position and posture, the warmups will work. If you get a failure, wait for the warmup bar to go completely away before retrying, by that time enough time has passed for me atleast, to get 100% success.
You mileage will vary, since it seem to be tied to your network performance/framerate performance. If you can just barely run SWG, I imagine you will continue to have problems.

Damn its frustrating. Rifleman is broken bad.
90% of the time they dont work.
Word.
Agree. If nothing else, can we have some feedback as to why it failed, and not the infuriating 'warm up then die' that we get right now
"You could not break cover as you were moving" etc

Slower computers or connection will have more problems because of terain updates slightly mving our position to the sever, interupting our specials.

It's great to posta work-around, but we simply should not have to resolve these problems like this. What should happen:
1) Dev communication (either direct or through our Correspondant)
2) Updated code to fix glaring issues with specials that should never have seen a live server.
3) Player Feedback regarding the progress of those fixes
4) Devs actually consider this feedback and take action.
5) Repeat.
I'm not flaming you - I applaud that you are staying positive. And I'm not going to go off on a rant, but there is simply no excuse for this game being in the state it is currently in with the amount of tester feedback and player feedback provided over the last two years and directly concerning this CU.
I just purchased an expensive new machine pre-CU in anticipation of enjoying SWG again upon return. I should not have to scale my graphics back to my previous system in order to have a profession that works as advertised.
