Completely unable to perform almost any action

[just-JC]

Was playing Hildryn in the Murex. Haven was active. Went to operator to heal OPLINK (using Vazaryn) and make me and squad invulnerable. Upon returning to Hildryn nothing worked, I could only move in a weirdly fashion. I couldn't open chat, I couldn't fire my weapon, I couldn't return to Operator, I couldn't use my abilities. If I pressed E or F the animation of weapon changing occurred, but I couldn't use them. Inside the Railjack I could activate the weapons of Railjack and shoot. But upon going out of them I couldn't do anything again. Still could use waypoint. Couldn't leave Railjack. The game went back to normal only upon returning to Flotilla. It was completely gamebreaking, start working to stop these issues. I want to play a proper working game.

A quick bump for this, and more info.

Just happened to me as Frost during the ground side of the event, so not Hildryn or railjack related. Completely ruined the run.

I'm like 90% sure it's yet another bug related to the slipshod implementation of the bad idea that is self-stagger on weapons. 

Someone should check that there isn't a problem if a stagger is triggered on the same frame a previous stagger or knockdown is supposed to end. 

Other details:

• Can use all gear items, including arch-gun deployer.
• Walking off the map does not clear the effect
• Cannot jump
• Can use 'm' / map
• Can hit ESC
• Can chat by clicking on icon when in ESC menu
  • did not try /unstuck 
• I was also using Vazaryn, but not sure that's a part of the bug. (I was in / as my Warframe, not operator) 
• Do not appear to be able to aim glide when walking off of ledges 
• Could not roll, but holding shift did trigger the sprint animation
• Could not get an enemy to confirmed stagger/knock me down to see if that fixed it. 

 

Probably unrelated second bug:

• My specter using a Zarr cannon seems to sometimes trigger stagger on me when shooting. Super frustrating, but I can't confirm 100% since I use Exodia Contagion which is bugged to hell and sometimes leaves invisible popping pods everywhere. 

[just-JC]

Yes. Something that I remembered, I was also using Dissic Scaffold (I think that's the amp that shoots a wide area grenade) so I think it's another self stagger related issue. 

[just-JC]

Ok, this happened twice today. And this time I wasn't either in Operator or firing a explosive weapon. The first time was right when I entered Murex. Sometimes it happens to any frame, but usually you gain action right after entering. But this time my Hildryn couldn't jump or do any action like it happened in the first time I reported this bug. Fortunately I was able to be killed by the enemies and regained the control. Second time I was using Haven and Aegis Storm in another mission. I THINK I may have attempted to enter Operator mode during both time, but I can't remember. It also may be related to a lag issue, I usually play with a latency between 200-350. 

My build with Hildryn:
- Mods: Enemy Radar, Aviator, Primed Continuity, Primed Vigor, Augur Reach, Constitution, Umbral Intensify, Redirection, Stretch and Fleeting Expertise. All the mods are maxed out with the exception of Umbral Intensify, that is level 8. 
- Arcanes: Aegis and Barrier maxed out. 

My Adarza Kavat build: 
Fetch, Primed Animal instinct, Cat's Eye, Reflect, Hastened Deflection, Medi-Pet Kit, Venon Teeth, Link Health (level 8), Link Shields (level 8). Rest is maxed out. 

Weapons that I was carrying:
Shedu, Kuva Tonko Nukor and Paracesis. 

Focus School: Vazaryn with all the abilities at least unlocked. 

Unstuck command doesn't work.

I got this bug a few times while using Bramma. Definitely self stagger related.

[angrykenji]

i encountered this bug for the past few updates now. i narrowed it down to entering and exiting operator mode. if it happens i'm able to only walk around and can't interact, type or shoot. its so annoying that you have to worry about this every time you enter your operator in a game....

[Paril]

Self-stagger is definitely related.

[LygosOne]

Had this glitch happen many times during eidolon hunts, with the only solution being getting yourself killed. As others have said, I think it's related to the new stagger mechanic as I noticed elsewhere when being knocked to the ground (laying on your back) you CANNOT use any chat functions until you stand up again. What this glitch does is it puts you into a mostly RESTRICTED state that lets you continue walking again, but disables all other actions permanently (no jumping, sprinting, rolling, cannot use abilities, no gear wheel, no archwing) and BLOCKS ALL CHAT/COMMUNICATION functions until your character undergoes a "hard reset" aka death.

This happened to me during a tridolon hunt as we finished the gantyulist, and I was unable to get myself killed because we had a Trinity on our team keeping us alive and the chat RESTRICTION prevented me from be able to communicate the situation to my team mates. I tried slowly traversing the plains for a short time searching for enemies but it became apparent this would take too long and returned to the gate hoping it would reset my condition but it did not. Only once loading into Cetus begun was the chat unlocked and I could attempt to explain what happened to the members of my team. They were furious that I "did not attempt to tell them" despite my explaining the chat LOCK OUT of the glitch, they believed I was intentionally trolling/sabotaging which eventually led to the breaking up of the team. I tried to message one of the members but in his/her anger cursed at me and finally blocking me.

I can say for certain that this stagger mechanic is the cause of the chat block out, as I was doing the coil drive defense bounty in Fortuna, I had got too close to the coil drive and it caused the knock down effect where I discovered I wasn't able to open or engage the chat interface, this was consistently repeatable.

I understand that while the developers will add new effects or change how the game operates from time to time, it is my strong opinion that under NO circumstances should communications be restricted or disabled. Under a mission critical state communication is of the utmost importance, whether it pertains to accomplishing the objective or unfortunate circumstance that incapacitate us, we must not be denied the ability to communicate to the people relying on us. Regarding the situation of players who use chat for offensive and harassing means, that is its own issue and I don't take issue to how that is handled, I just want to reiterate that a player's basic functionality should not be denied as a result of game mechanics, and especially not because of the stagger effect.

Thank you for your time reading.

TBH this happen a lot of the time, usually as a client
In my case, my warframe probably got knocked down right after I transfer to my operator and instantly transfer back to my warframe

I asked my teammate what I was doing while I was unable to do anything except walk and jump, they said my warframe was moving while lying down

 

[Kylareth]

I have also had this happen. I have also noticed that it often happens when I am in the middle of reloading and get knocked down by some enemy heavy attack or my own explosive weapons.

[ud4yk]

BUMP!

I have something similar that happens, Not sure if its self-stagger related but mostly happens on client side with an average of 200ms, I somewhat am able to move in a "moon walk" fashion while appearing as stunned/fallen on the ground to squad mates. Happens upon rapid swap change between weapons / Transference in-out. Unable to fire weapons which are switchable, melee blocks happen but unable to use melee, Bug MAY be related to custom zaw/kitgun riven but i doubt it. Enemies shoot at your feet as though you're lying on the ground and are fairly inaccurate

This is corrected by forcing enemies to kill you and respawning with the "x" consuming a life charge, or being revived in arbitration. As you can see its game breaking. especially in survival.

[agentaliak47]

BUMP!

I am also having this issue

[Dhee-Rex]

I also have this issue but it randomly occurs. I was playing high index and i was unable to do any action except pick up mods and switch between weapons.

[FaintSmileTeresa]

THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS; CONSIDER YOURSELF LUCKY IF YOU ARE NEW TO THE DILEMA.  IT IS THE MOST ANNOYING GAME-BREAKING BUG I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED.

IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A PRIORITY FOR DE TO FIX; KEEP THAT IN MIND WHEN INVESTING YOUR TIME IN MISSIONS, AS YOU CAN LOSE EVERYTHING FOR THAT MISSION WHEN YOU HAVE TO ABORT OR FORCE QUIT THE WARFRAME APPLICATION .

Thank you for your time reading.

1. this happens in all types of missions ( def. alot in Eidolon hunts)
2. its been happening for a few months now ( as other have said maybe when the stagger effect was put in)
3. it happens to PC and Console players

DE made a change to code and broke something else. This is a common problem in software engineering called breaking regression.  They have a track record for this and they should really limit changes until they can get a handle on regression testing the game.  Sadly I think they did this when changing self-damage and adding stagger affect. This was not necessary to a lot of people, and ABSOLUTELY NOT NEEDED IF GOING TO INTRODUCE GAME-BREAKING BUG!

[ud4yk]

Video Demonstration of the Bug for me in Sedna Hydron.:
 

 

[Hellmaker2004]

BUMP!

 

Also having this issue, mostly happen when Ping is Over / Around 200ms and when using transference.
Upon returning to the Warframe almost all actions are disabled with no indicator or prompt why.

Only way to solve it is either to die completely (waste one out of 4 revives for that mission)
Or to extract from the mission.

[Damocles]

I posted a bug about this. This is EXACTLY the same issue.

You guys know how there's a knockdown animation where you're lying on your back? All controls are locked and you need to roll out of it to regain controls. But if the knockdown happens about the time you transfer to operator as a client (not host) your warframe is forced to be standing right up. This prevents you from transferring back into a knocked down warframe, and thus you cant roll up again. This keeps you in that state where all controls are locked. Sadly, this is related to a poorly implemented self damage change for staggers and knock downs.

You are correct in most; but transference is not a required element to reproduce this sh1t bug.

[RFaul]

Still plagued by this bug. It happens with the knockdown backfire. The beauty of it is when you get Limbo, transfer to operator, use amp to get knocked down and immediately transfer back to frame. And then you can't die afterwards...

[Scootles96]

Had this bug happen once or twice during profit-taker in the past, very annoying

Have also had a very similar bug happen many many times before but can still jump/crouch during it, think it's an older bug tho

[xombob89]

Ive also experienced this multiple times and so have others in public squads Ive been in. Yesterday it happened on Defection while farming harrow parts, I was using Vauban with Aksomati Prime, Zaw and Kuva Kohm but I dont think those are related to it.

At the time I tried to cast Vortex but it didnt cast it and instead I got stuck, couldnt use operator mode or any other abilities, and couldnt shoot. However I was able to jump and chat which some people reportedly couldnt do. Jumping off the map didnt help, and I couldnt even die because the enemy in that map couldnt out-damage my pets healing lol. After host left the game and migration happened, it got fixed.

I feel like this has happened more often right after Ive gone in operator mode, but it could be coincidence. Self-Stagger could be a cause, but its happened to me even when I havent used self-staggering weapons. However I feel like all of this started happening after the update that added self-stagger and removed self-damage.

Welp.guess this is my life now.this happened to me twice with completely different loadouts ,both times it was during excavation void fissure.

the first time i was using:

   saryn ,arca plasmor,pyrana prime, paracesis,djinn with plasma burst rifle,

   /unstuck didn't work

   things I was unable to do:

          -abilities and transference

          -shoot

          -switch weapons with "F"

          -attack with melee "E" (didn't try heavy attack)

          -Roll with "shift"

   I think it was a mission on pluto it was a T3 void fissure

   I didnt notice what could have caused it to bug out since i didn't expect it to happen.

    things I was able to do:

    walk , run , bullet jump , carry and use powercells , doors still opened, aim , when trying to use melee attack "E" it switches to melee but no attack , chat still worked.

    (I didnt try any gearwheel items I will try if it happens again , I also didnt try "Esc")

The second time I was using:

  Hydroid prime , Kuva bramma , Athodai , Vitrica.

   things I was unable to do:

          -abilities and transference

          -shoot

          -switch weapons with "F"

          -attack with melee "E" (didn't try heavy attack)

          -Roll with "shift"

The mission was on augustus on mars it was a T1 void fissure

    things I was able to do:

    walk, run, bullet jump, jump , carry and use powercells, doors still opened, aim , when trying to use melee attack "E" it switches to melee but no attack , chat still worked.

    (I didnt try any gearwheel items I will try if it happens again , I also didnt try "Esc")

    this time i noticed that it happened after dashing a few times with the operator and after i switched to my warframe.

    during the switch the warframe was in a bulletjump like animation I don't know if it has anything to do with it but I thought I should mention it.

   both times it happened after playing for a while the second time was around 28min and the first time I dont remember but I think it was at least 40min.

I will edit if I remember anything.

 

[Hexx]

seeing as the last updated was a month ago i'd like to say the above has happened to me as well. like, exactly.

everything was functioning as normal except for the fact i couldn't use abilities, or melee. primary and secondary were fine, 1/3rd of the time i'd get stuck in transference (either unable to switch to the operator or unable to switch back to my warframe.)

the issues also happened to me during long missions, specifically, when fighting orphix or on the plains of eidolon.

one thing i didn't see mentioned but i'm pretty certain is related: plains of eidolon, all of the above happened. it was a nightmare extracting from the group, for whatever reason it'd let OTHER PEOPLE extract separately while i was forced to stay?? i assumed it was an bad host issue (i was not host), but when i finally did extract and switched to solo mode, suddenly NPC targets stopped working. example: during the drone escort mission in a bounty, the drone wouldn't move from its spawn point. it moved once, about 20m, then stopped again. everything else on the plains was functioning normally.

this is really frustrating because orphix is ending this week and nightwave is ending soon and i'm going to miss all of it because by all accounts my connection is fine, but i'm getting these glitches that are making the game unplayable!!!

[Delfic]

Just happened to me.
Was fishing on Deimos with the first spear you get from Daughter.

Jumped to melee a Gravid Blastema that fell in the plasma and did not burst right away as they do when falling.
Hit it with the spear and it just happened!

Can't do anything with the character but Aim and turn around with mouse movement.
Nothing works.

Tried /unstuck. It moved me to the "shore" of the plasma river but remained the same. Now I'm there not being able to kill myself and questioning my life choices. Do I try something new? Do I lose all of the time I've spent in the free roam since I did only collection...
