gamepad controlled character can't kill one of the cops by the rocks near bridge

★★★ Newbie

I have no chance to kill either of the two cops that are waiting for the 2 fugitives by the rocks, before the bridge where they steal the police car and run away. More precisely, is always the character controlled by the gamepad. I originally tried with a PS3 controller (used) and then switched to an Xbox controller (brand new), thinking that the PS3 was too worn out. No luck. No matter how fast I try to hit the X key, it won't choke the cop. I tried both with Leo and then with Vincent, thinking they may have some different profiles - no luck. I tried either the left side cop or the right side cop, thinking they may react a bit different - no luck. If this is not a bug in the game then you told me what it is! I think they must have set the threshold to high for the hitting rate of the action key. Is there a patch planned? The keyboard controlled character is just fine - can kill any of the cops fairly easy. Any hint would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Hey @stireciu

 

I'm sorry to hear about your issue!

 

We've received a report about a very similar issue here. A few players mentioned that switching to online co-op let them pass this moment in the game.

 

Let me know if this workaround worked for you as well.

Hey @EA_Ataashi

 

I'm afraid switching to online co-op won't be that easy to me. This means I need a second PC (or laptop), with a decent graphic card that can run the game, which I don't have. Not to mention the many issues people playing in online co-op have. It doesn't mean I necessarily have to run into any of them, but what if? Sounds like a blind man guiding another blind man. Wouldn't be much easier to release a patch, or even do a better testing before release in the first place?

 

regards,

Alex

I'm sorry if it sounded like I'm forcing you to use the workaround as the only solution to the problem Embarrassed

 

Like I mentioned before, we've received reports about this issue before and it's been escalated to our specialists. I just don't have any ETA for the fix to share at the moment, but I'll try to keep you updated! Standard smile

This happend to me as well. But earlier. (With "after the bushes guards".)


Here are two options that worked for me:

1) Lower the resolution as low as possible. (You can leave other settings as it is.)
2) Try online co-op. Pass the guards and leave. Progress will be saved and you can start local coop again, after the guards.

 

Definitely try the resolution thing. You can boost the resolution again after this spot.
In my game, there were 4 problematic sections total, where I used this.
- grappling the two guards after the sneaky bush part
- grappling second pair of guards (behind the rocks) a minute after the first ones
- motorcycle ride, where a guncar is chasing you (near the lumber mill)
- motorcycle ride, where you have to jump into the plane
