PS4 Homestead Update - Two Bugs.

xari228

Hi There,

I've run into two bugs since installing the Homestead update on PS4:

(a) Dismounting from my horse: This used to be accomplished on PS4 by pressing the R2 trigger button. However, doing so post-update causes an immediate weapon discharge (while simultaneously dismounting). This, of course, is not ideal when Innocents are nearby (or, really, any other players or NPCs), as it could unintentionally trigger the Justice system and/or make other players think you're firing upon them for no discernable reason; and

(b) When entering the Crown Store from the Menu (having pressed the "Options" button on the controller), on my first try I consistently get an error message ("The Crown Store is unavailable" or somesuch), however if I back out to the Menu and enter the Crown Store again, it comes up just fine.

Please correct these soon.

Thanks much, xari.

The dismount problem happened with Homestead and, based on feedback from the discussion below, seems to be broken for XBox, PS4 and Gamepad Mode players.

Here's hoping this gets fixed soon because it's really annoying and it was an unnecessary change.

The dismount thing is annoying as all get out; we have the same problem on XB NA. I had the crown store error all day yesterday, but haven't had it once today.

1st one is not a bug but an intended change. Not sure on the buttons required but why they'd remove the ability to dismount any other way is baffling.

• Attempting to Light Attack while you are mounted will now dismount you.

Ugh.

Sucks, but thanks for the 411.

Hopefully they'll still look into another way to implement this and get the Crown Store thing corrected.

Thanks again.

The dismount change seems to be something they might consider rolling back considering all the collateral damage being caused by all of us poor riders killing civilians.

But that is what is always did. What changed is that it now ALSO fires off your light attack instead of just dismounting.
