Multiplayer bugging out, unable to do anything but move. Doesn't seem to be lag.

Posted this in the multiplayer forum before I remembered I should have posted it here.

Everything about this game has ran great since launch day, until today. Twice in a few hours of playing my character just completely bugs out and I can do nothing other than move. None of my shots or attacks, biotic, melee, etc do any damage. Once I run out of ammo, I can't pick up any more. I can't activate objectives or revive team mates. Enemies seem to priortize me dead last and will often ignore me when I'm standing right next to them and don't make significant efforts to target me until everyone else is down.

I have a stable broadband connection and a powerful PC, I've tested my connection and it seems
fine. It doesn't appear laggy and I still still the other players and enemies moving around normally. I recored a video of this happening minutes before this post was made if it's needed, but it's pretty much exactly as I decribe.

I haven't noticed any common causes, it happened while I was playing my Human Male Vanguard, and my Human
Infiltrator. It's been on different maps and against different enemies.

 It's very disappointing because I just become dead weight.

I've had this happen as well. It's like you become a ghost, but you haven't disconnected because you can still see your teammates doing things, and not just running straight into walls.

Same problem here.

Once it happenned during extraction, so I completed the game, but tonight it happened during the 2nd wave of ennemies. Very annoying.

I have noticed frequently I end up floating in the air, sometimes outside of the map. Once in this position there is no way to return to normal gameplay until the entire mission is over.

I thought it might have been related to lagging Internet connection, but I upgraded to the fastest service plan offered by my ISP and this is still happening. It has happened for both Vanguard (even when simply walking and not using Biotic Charge) and Adept classes, roughly once out of every three or four missions.

On a couple of occasions I didn't get stuck in the air, but the NPCs stopped targeting me, and I was unable to target enemies, similar to what the OP describes. Sometimes this would fix itself after a few minutes, without having to wait for the next mission.

I've also noticed something similar. Walking slowly and laggy a couple feet up in the air while not being able to fight properly.

Happened to me just now. I got so furious, I couldn't do anything! You barely took any damage as well, I just wanted to die so I ran up to an Atlas and bashed him to oblivion and I _eventually_ died which seemed to do the trick but it still felt very dodgy.

I think it's related to network lag, or at least what it looks like. Because when this happens, I can see some enemies rubberbanding.

That's what I thought as well, but I upgraded to 100mb/s FIOS and it's still happening.

When you get the bug where you can not shoot, pick up ammo, doing any melee damage or use abilities you need to kill yourself, you still take damage. The trick is a lot of bad guys won't attack you so you have to find some explosion to stand in.

Once you come back to life, through team mate resurrection or using Med-Gel you will be back to normal.

No idea what causes the bug.

I have had this happen to me as well a couple of times. No clue as to how it happened.

This has worked occasionally, but if it happens when I'm floating in the air or outside of the map, I get resurrected in the same spot and I have to wait until the end of the entire mission.

Just happened to me. Male Vanguard. Geth would ignore me. Ran out of ammo. Pestered the geth for the last 2 rounds with charged melee that did no damage. Occasionally the get would melee me back.

Once in a while I'd get assist points... no idea why since nothing i was doing did any damage.

Couldn't use any powers. Couldn't reload weapon. Just ran around hoping I'd survive until evac and that I wouldn't end up being the last player alive.

Not a good time.

Observed that bug for some time already across various characters.

My guess is that it's connected to your health somehow. Here are some of my observations:

1) Sometimes you also get immune to AoE damage. Then the only thing that can hit you are stray bullets.

2) If you die and get revived (by your teammate or by the end-of-round reset) you phase back into the game 100% of the cases.

3) You may get phased in by the end-of-round reset if you survive the round as well. Although it does not happen in 100% of the cases. I'm guessing that you phase in only if your health gets reset by the game.

4) It's definitely not connection issues. I've experienced connection issues: everyone just freezes in their position and warps around the map if that happens.

5) On one occasion one enemy did not start ignoring me. That was the one I was engaged in combat with. He kept firing at me until he killed me (since all my bullets and powers just flew through him). All other enemies started ignoring me as per usual glitch.

Bandwidth isn't really an issue. Other things that could happen are packet drops and line noise, but with that kind of connection that shouldn't happen.

Happenned again, early in the game. One of my teammates got stuck under the "aircraft" in the base (Firebase Glacier). And I couldn't shoot. I emptied my bullets, couldn't refill. Not that it matters.

The only thing I could do, is get very close to the ennemy, and keep "F" pressed to make a strong melee attack. That, or getting grabbed by an ennemy and pressing F repeatdly. Kudos to the 2 team members who finished the silver challenge by themselves.

There's so many problems with MP... it feels kinda rusher.

This happened to me once, I eventually fixed it by standing next to an ammo pack and spamming mouse1.

Encountered a few instances yesterday, where I levitated and became "trapped" in the highest geometry present. I could shoot, and use powers, but movement was extremely limited, and could still be killed, where I would continue to respawn in the same situation.

This needs to a lot of priority from those responsible for patching the multiplayer.

Happened to me and when I returned to the main game I lost control of my character totally.

Can't help wondering if localised settings from the hosting players set up are bleeding through as one of my mouse buttons on exiting was set to a macro that didn't exist on my local system.

this is a severe desync issue, and its lag related.. it just needs either you or the host to lose sync due of a "lag fart", heavy load.. some timeout..etc..
funfact.. most of the times I've had this bug.. I still GET DAMAGE.

This has happened to me a number of times as well. I'm actually typing this via the onboard browser in Origin, watching my team complete the entire mission while I'm floating below the map.

Its happened a number of times, and the only thing I've noticed is that it often occurs while I'm in cover. As soon as I get out, thats when it starts to bug out like mad.

Hopefully this gets fixed soon, its a pretty crippling bug.
