Recommended Posts

This bug happens way too often, and has been going on for quite a while now.
Hoping it is getting some priority soon to get fixed.

In service of trying to help find the source, I took some metadata screenshots and added the EE.log.
Hoping these can help find the issue.

Ticket number: #1354260

This bug deserves some priority, it's been going on for a bit too long.

Happened to me, with video proof. This bug happens far more often when I lag and delay by internet by 800ms (0.8 seconds), and used an explosive weapon. Excalibur Umbra is walking and shooting by itself, while the other player is confused while trying to revive me. After successful revive, "Ability in use" bug happens, until fall off map.

Also happened while in the Plains of Eidolon, but I did not get revived that time.

I was a client, not host. How it appears to happen is:

Host: Me lose health down to zero and go down. Client thinks I still have health.

Client: Used transference, and go into in-between state and "Ability in use".

... Some time later due to internet delay of 850 ms (0.85 seconds)  ...

Host: received a command to use transference on a downed player, and doesn't do much to an already downed player.

Client: received zero health, but did not received a command that "ability in use" is done. Stuck on "Ability in use".

it happened to me twice today, i was in a middle of eidolon hunt, all of a sudden couldnt transfer to operator or use abilities, the first time, i was able to let the squad know not to revive me, but the second was worse, hoping the second stage might get me unstuck, but i couldnt use my shard at the alter saying that i need a shard, even though that i collected all the shards, still couldnt use the altar too, i dont know if that happened to anyone else, but i had to quit and relog .

It's a real PITA when this happens on plague star, with 4/4 phylaxis/catalyst, right before the 4th hemocyte, and you were the Titania doing 80% of the damage.

In my case it was transfer to operator, 'Whoa that's a lot of lag' as I'm frozen in place waiting for it to happen, and when I transfer back, I've got no abilities, transference or gear.

I'm going to assume that when I swapped to operator my warframe abilities were locked out, my ability to transfer into my operator, and my gear wheel, because none of those things are usable while an operator, and then the piss-poor choice of hosts that this game allows, failed to send the necessary data from the host that would allow my client to use everything again.

All this crap for the sake of a simple sanity check, like 'has the client actually left operator mode, but the host failed to acknowledge this', or allowing a client to ask to transfer (back) into operator, and not having it blocked, because the host thinks they're already there.

Damn!! Didn't know this bug was this old!!!!!

Ever since fortuna this happens to me EVERY TIME I go and farm toroid in bases. They have enemies with ability jammers in there but they PERMANENTLY disable my abilities, and operator.... and sometimes even my k drive and my archwin. This only happens in Fortuna for me however, in enemy bases with the ability jammer enemies. 

Posted a few times this week in the forums about it and sent support tickets. No news whatsoever.

''Not sure if this a bug or not, I hope it is because it is not pleasant at all... but when getting hit by one of those ability jammers in Orb Vallis, sometimes it permanently jams one or even ALL of my abilities at once. Can't get rid of it even after leaving far away from enemy base. Sometimes my operator mode is jammed as well. And once when it happened I couldn't use roll and the slow motion during jump aim-dive wasn't working. 

Tried taking out the K-drive once when it happened and it fixed it... only once though, the other times the permanent jams stuck no matter what I did.''

''2018*11*16 

Still a problem. Bump. 

Still happens when I get hit by one of those ability jammers in the corpus bases in orb vallis fortuna, all of my abilities get permanently jammed for hours until I end the mission. This happens quite often, everytime I go in. Cannot get my abilities back by getting far far away from the enemy base (even into the skies), cannot undo by jumping in water, cannot undo by getting on hoverboard, cannot undo by getting on archwing, cannot undo by typing /unstuck. My abilities are 'X'd out with the red circles and when I try to activate them they tell me my abilities are jammed by the jamming and the blue room jammer lights pop up with the jammer sound everytime i try to activate the x'd abilities, even when far away from enemy base.

Last time this happened I was playing with Nekros prime, but it happens with all the frames i've tried playing so far. Full squad, haven't solo'ed orb vallis toroid bases yet. Any1 else having this problem?????''

this is still an serious issue, happens to me every second eidolon fight. In the last one it seems to be connected to serious lags, but ping was ok with around 80 ms.

also couldnt launch archwing, instead i walked in the air.... teammate had the same problems,

a jump in water helped for short time, then it started again..

This is the first time i have encountered this bug and i cant remember just what i did to cause it.. and have yet to find a way to fix it.. cant play the game like this.. unable to use any warframe's ability's or transcendence, i have tried just about everything others have listed as methods they have used to fix there problem.. nothing has worked for me.. and i am ever so slightly scared my account might be stuck like this .

Can't BELIEVE this is still a thing!  I'm on xbox console, but seems to be the same issue.  I'm sitting in Orb Vallis with no operator powers and no warframe abilities.  Sometimes viewing the mission progress will clear the glitch (not this time).  In Eidolon, you could jump into water and most of the time you'd get things back.  Usually I'm able to shoot, but sometimes the noble Tenno is only able to jump around pathetically.  This has happened to me dozens of times in my first few days in Orb Vallis, and was an issue in Plains of Eidolon from the beginning, somehow getting worse (more likely) at one point.  Most everyone I ran across in tricaps knew at least to kill themselves to clear their controls, some knew the water jump trick.  How pathetic is this?

Also, what's the trick in Orb Vallis?  Jumping into water (coolant) doesn't seem to work here.
