Where did the issue occur? In a match
Which part of the map or menu were you in? If you don't remember the exact name, please describe the area or what you were trying to do in the menu. The area with the geyser in Worlds Edge
What were you doing when the issue occurred? E.g. respawning a squad mate at a beacon, using an ability, a squad mate left the game. Used a replicator around the time the ring was closing on us
Did your squad mates also experience the issue? No
How many matches had you played in a row before the issue occurred? 2
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 050722 08:30 MDT
How often does the bug occur? Rarely (0% - 9%)
How severe is your issue? Major impacts to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? I cannot use the following abilities as Valk: Q (missiles), fly (space, jump works), ult (z) heal (hotkey or inventory + click)
What should be happening instead? The abilities work
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? idk lol, it's happened twice tho

Suddenly while playing I can't use many moves - Valk's fly (Space), Q (missiles), Z (ult), healing (4 or inventory + click) refuse to work for the duration of the round. The only things I can do are jump, crouch, run, swap weapon, hide weapon, and open inventory.

 

I think it may have to do with the replicator - the second time this happened was shortly after I used it.

Yup you're correct @UrToesRDelicious!

 

This issue is indeed related to Replicators, though sometimes it affects Mobile Respawn Beacons and Deathboxes.

 

They're aware of it and investigating the issue, though no ETA has been released:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/MEGATHREAD-Cannot-use-Abilities-Inventory-or-Meds/m-p/11603777...

 

Any extra information is welcome in the megathread, that way all the information is compiled in one neat thread.

 

Some ways to fix this bugged state:

  • Try to use the replicator again
  • Try to emote with your legend
  • Restart your game

You can prevent getting this bug from not using Replicators and Mobile Respawn Beacons, kind of though to not use deathboxes though...

Well hopefully this is resolved in the next patch, for now we'll have to be careful in-game.
