Placement + Aiming Bug when (Alt + Tab) out and back in.

6 votes

Topic: After Alt +Tab-ing out The game the mouse indicator defaults under the Player Pawn.

The bug occurs in the following 3 situations:

1) When moving an object or placing a new one, the mouse attempts to place the item directly under the player-pawn

2) If aiming with an ability, that ability's targeted location/mouse location (ie. hud overlay indicator) does not move and instead resorts to a South-East angle (no amount of mouse movement fixes this.)

3) When opening inventory (default binding is Tab) the player-pawn's "animation blendspace" breaks and the pawn's movement becomes very jittery.

ALL 3 of the issues listed above are fixed if I Alt + Tab a second time.

Context: I play on 3440x1440 (21:9) aspect ratio
Context: confining cursor to window does NOT fix this issue (and vis-versa)
Context: This bug occured on 5 different occasions over 2 days, and did not ever create any texture
or material issues; the issues were exclusively control based.

Best,
Trey

This bug was also in the previous version. When I try and build, all items are "blocked by unit" as they are forced under my feet. If I click VERY rapidly in the selected location I can get it to build if I click very fast. However, using any ranged weapon or attack is also using my position, so all of these abilities are just unusable. I need to play with friends to have them build anything other than floor tiles.
