Infuriating isn't it? I've dubbed it the Windows Paperclip bug...
Janse danced left and right, desperately trying to throw his attacker's aim off long enough to find cover. As the sand around his feet exploded in geysers of dust, settling oddly quickly in the high gravity, he was amazed to find his dropsuit controls freeze...
"You appear to be fighting for your life! Would you like me to order you a cab?" Intoned his suit's system chirpily.
"NO! NO! You -ú*(*&-ú*&*("&-ú! Cancel vehicle requisition!" Screamed Janse in furious terror.
"Command not recognised, would you like me to order off-map support?"
"ARRGGHHHH! Cancel! Cancel! CANCEL!"
This really needs some urgent attention, guys  .
EDIT
I should add - although I have a dualshock 3 active, I'm not using it at all during gameplay - this bug mamages to appear just fine when using a (Sony PS3) BT keyboard and USB mouse. |

Just to note this is still happening, perhaps not as regularly as it used to, but it's still costing me a steady trickle of clones.
Now, I bought a bunch of Aurum, and I think that anything you enjoy is worth paying for, so I fully understand and support the real-money transaction part of the game. I hope it is a success and makes CCP as much money as a project this ambitious should.
But, I would ask CCP to take a moment to think...
If you are going to spend real money to take part in a game - given that you don't *have* to - you'd probably only do that if you felt it may make a difference - maybe improving the gameplay experience, or perhaps to buy some nice kit which allows your new character to fight in a meaningful way alongside your more experienced corpmates - certainly sooner than he'd otherwise be able to.
That's all fine by me. But am I really going to spend that money if I think it will make no difference at all? What if the main thing deciding my gameplay experience and combat efficiency is whether or not my controls freeze due to a window I never asked for popping up? Or the hits from my nice named assault rifle not being registered by the server because of network problems? Am I going to spend Aur on expendables?
No - I'm not. And I haven't.
Because, quite simple, I don't have to, and there's no tangible benefit in doing so.
I have bought BPOs, because then when I lose yet another clone to something stupid which was first reported 3 months ago, I don't have to say to myself "Great - there goes another 20p to bug XYZ." |

I'm going to contest that this bug is hardware related, as L1 functions as intended on my Dualshock in every other game I own except for this one (on occasion).
Certainly not related to the Dualshock hardware. As I mentioned above, I'm using a Sony Bluetooth keyboard... |
