striker cyclone bug

[Over-Power 50]

when ever I use cyclone striker with hopper and aim with it at someone the locking restarts even while I am still aiming at him.

like this guy I was almost full lock on him and it restarted, and he was right in front me, and guess what happened next.., he killed me cuz i had to restart locking .

it's been going on for quiet some time now when will it get fixed..

Is it with Hopper specifically, or any hull? Would be nice to see a video of this, but based on your description I think it's more likely that your spacebar is unreliable when you hold it down. Try and asign spacebar to a different key and see if the problem persists.

I've found that the loss-of-target-acquisition bug is not specific to Cyclone, nor with Hopper. I always use RRE with Striker and play with mouse controls and this bug happens to me.

I use Crusader so I'll try a different hull and see if I still get the issue (it could be exclusive to hover hulls)

Same issue is occuring to me with Scorpion (also with Hopper).  Playing on mouse and keyboard, the locking tends to restart sometimes, but re-locking is not needed, just have to wait again for the salvo to actually shoot.

It happens with Gauss and Striker for me. I presume that was the main reason for the Gauss rework since that bug started happening almost 4 weeks before the rework. I also presume that's why Striker got the longer lock-on grace period and Cyclone got its respective change.

Huh, I've never gotten it on Scorpion from my memory. Maybe that one is PC only.

Actually i am using mouse controls and aim by clicking on mouse not space.

And it happens in crusader as well but not is often as hopper.

And i used striker's AP augment and it happened as well but it's not that big of a deal because locking is fast anyways.

Looks like it happens with any locking weapaon, but mostly in striker because slower locking..

Happened to me a lot with striker as well, sometimes the lock would restart after just 1% or even at 99%, which was annoying

Instead of fixing the bug, they just padded it with a longer reacquisition time? xD

It happens a lot to me with gauss too, so many times the lock will just keep restarting right before finishing and I'll be dead because the turret wont shoot

Others are saying that this is an actual issue, though a video would be nice.

But also do try switching your controls to keyboard and using spacebar, and see if the problem persists.

internet is very bad where I am from and can't upload anything..

and I tried spacebar with mouse controls and problem was still there..

but I didn't try using keyboard to control aiming..
