(XBOX) Actions taking longer after update

I've noticed that after the update some actions are taking longer to fire, such like mounting, accepting group finder requests and choosing targets ( a.k.a. tab target ). These are the ones I've noticed so far. Are these intended or something went wrong with the update? @ZOS_Adrikoth

    Hey there @HugoG92

    Thanks for reporting the issues that you encountered! Which console are you using (base console, Series X|S, etc.) and are you using Performance Mode? If so, do you encounter these issues in Fidelity Mode as well?

    I'm playing on the Xbox One X, but my guild mates playing on the Series X|S are reporting the same issue. Apparently any action that needs to hold any button is taking longer to fire. One of my guildies playing on the series x noticed that holsting weapons and multi deconstruction is taking longer too.

    PS: by taking longer I mean we need to hold the button longer

    I am on PS4 Pro and mounting via the touchpad requires a much longer press of the button.

    Also, as mentioned in another thread, unsheathing weapons takes longer, too.

    A friend and I experienced a one secondish delay to everything yesterday. Casting my extended ritual on templar seems to take a long time before actual cast.

    I can confirm on both PS4 and PS5. All my guildies and zone chat have noticed this too. It seems that inputs are now take twice as long to activate.

    For me on my control layout... I think B... I noticed the issue happening with these actviites:
    • Sheathing Weapons (Holding Left on D-Pad)
    • Bringing up the wheel of options on another player.... invite to group, trade, duel, etc (Holding START)
    • Accepting group, trade, duel invite from another player by bringing up the wheel again (Holding START)
    • **Tab Target** this is the worst offender (Holding Square)

    I also noticed that it affects multi-crafting in that I don’t hold the square button long enough to select more than one item, so it just crafts one each time.

    Also on Xbox one X, having the same issues with multiple actions, like mounting up for example. I go to mount, and since you now have to press the button longer I end up just opening thr map over and over instead of mounting up. It's extremely annoying.

    I noticed this myself and did my own testing. I’ll attach a screen shot of my results that I originally posted on Twitter here (alongside a GIF showcasing the old and new hold durations). I have yet to receive a response there.

    Testing was done using the performance graphics mode.

    PS5 NA Performance mode - hard targeting is a nightmare now because of this, especially in the middle of a fight like Cloudrest where you may need to swap between Zmaja and one of the minis.

    If PC's latest patch notes are any indication, this still will not be getting fixed. This is an issue with gamepad in general, not just console version.

    Yeah, when I saw the PC patch notes, I got super disappointed.

    I’ve only noticed this yesterday on Ps4NA. Unsheathing weapons and hitting the first skill in combat is really slow.

    Someone mentioned above about rediscovery in Blackwood. That’s likely an unrelated issue but I had to rediscover wayshrines I already had unlocked in Blackwood across all 18 characters. Didn’t notice until after the Blackwood event started.

    Today I got this annoying 1 second lag... and for me, It has to do with Keyboard login option. When I use the gamepad UI for login (KB login disabled), this happens. I hope it helps anyone

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in September 2021. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
