I'm referring to the bug where you just can't take cover at all during the match. If you try, you simply get canceled out of the cover animation immediately.
I'm not sure what triggers it, so I don't know if there are things to do to keep it from happening. Also, is the only way to fix it (the players, not BW) to quit the match and start over?
It's just frustrating because it has happened to me 4 or 5 times and the last time it happened (yesterday), it happened during the 1st wave of a gold match. It sucks to enter a match with equipment on and feel like the only solution is to quit and start over.
Thoughts? Experiences? Advice?

This has happened to both of my friends and to he honest, I thought they were full of "bull". I don't know what causes it or how to help, but hopefully this "bump" will bring it to the eyes of someone who does.
Also, from my experience it does not occur on host. If the problem persists, host your own matches from now on.

If you are near someone and they are within your characters space, you will pop down and automatically pop back up. This has to do with player collision bugs, yet another thing BW has forgone to fix bullcrap in the weapon balances.

Interesting. The last time it happened it affected everyone, so we were truly doomed from the start.

Wow, I have yet to come across that. Perhaps a massively laggy host? I have only had player collision issues but don't ever lag that badly

This has happened to me a few times, to to some kind of desynch with the host.
Shortly thereafter, enemies stopped appearing for me. Leaving the match, and getting re-invited fixed this. So it is lag/net code.

I just had this happen, I couldn't take cover at all, and I'm 100% sure it wasn't because of other people sharing cover, it'd happen when I was off by myself. I also couldn't climb ladders. I suffered through the match (FBWGP), stayed in the lobby, and it happened again in the next game. Partway through the game enemies started disappearing and/or jumping around like it was lag, then ME3 crashed to desktop.

i have 20 creds that say this happened on condor or jade. its a fairly new bug that seems to just have popped up in the last month or so. It has nothing to do with player collisions its from what i can tell just a new lag induced bug

It happens A LOT to me with the Destroyer, but I just had it happen with my Geth Infiltrator the other day. Not fun.

Yeah it sounds like some kind of desync.
This happened during a Delta game once. Only the Host could see the enemies and fight back. Me and the two others couldn't see any of the enemies and couldn't take cover yet they could still kill us. We all had to reset our Xboxs to fix it. Not even dying and starting another match seemed to fix it.

Never even heard of this happening. Whenever my character can't seem to make new animations (no shooting, reloading, running, cover), I try to do a heavy melee, and that helps most of the time.
How many times has this happened to you?

i have had it happen on condor at least 5-6 times in the past month...
and no Zero132132 its not that bug, this is a different bug.
Sometimes it appears and the only prob is that you cannot take cover, as it is immediately cancelled and the character stands back up. ( it looks exactly like you are trying to take cover while another player is already there, but it happens everywhere regardless of where your teammates are)
Other times the cannot take cover thing is there and you also cannot see any of the enemies or the kill feed
Like i said b4 this bug just showed its ugly head to me about a month ago, give or take

I had that happen on Condor vs Geth last night. The Geth were also invisible but the rest of the squad could see them and I couldn't see incoming fire. If I hadn't equipped my best gear it would have almost been funny.

This has happened to me as well. Mostly, it seems to take place on Firebase Condor (turian moon), but it has happened on others. I always cringe when I wind up on Condor now...

It just happened to me twice on white, and I think the other time was on London. On Condor I've only had the "all enemies invisible, no kill feed" bug.

Had it on Jade the other day - two of the four of us couldn't see or hear any phantoms and couldn't take cover. I suspect it was down to a glitch in the connection to the host. We were on gold and amazingly we made it to wave 10 before we all died for the final time. Phantoms are bad enough when you can see them!

I think this is caused by a certain type of lag. Let's call it the green lag. It's different from the blue lag, which causes biotics to miss their target. Nor is it the red lag that pretty much guarantees you'll be sync killed by any banshee or phantom that gets within 10 meters of you.

I've had this happen with infiltrators... SI and GI... very frustrating. I'm on the same network as the host (he sits 3 feet behind me 
so I rarely have lag issues. If this bug starts, it will continue into the next match (and the next, etc). For me, the only way to get rid of the problem is to re-start the game. Sometimes accompanied in later waves by invisible enemies, sound disappearing from the game, etc.

It's happened to me on jade and condor and even giant. I haven't seen it recently but I did have a night where it happened to me in back to back to back games. I just turned it off.

Today it happened with my Human Engineer on Hydra. Fortunately it started on Wave 1 and I wasn't using consumables, so I just quit the match.
Quite sure it's lag related.

I've only had this happen when I enter a match with invisible enemies, so 90% on Condor.

Happens even without invisible enemies. When I have it, typically the shuttle is still hovering in the LZ. It's not just lag, but an incomplete "joining" of the four players and the EA server.
Started a game, it worked fine, lost a player, new guy game in, Shuttle never departed and suddenly I couldn't crouch behind cover. I think the shuttle not departing is a hint that the "joining" didn't work properly or complete and inability to take cover is another symptom.
Invisible enemies is another symptom, but I think one of several possible things that can go wrong.
I've not noticed any bias toward a specific map. Seen it on Giant, Condor, Hydra, London, Vancouver, even Reactor, which has no shuttle (again, shuttle is just a symptom and a hint at other problems).
