This issue started up a few days ago and before the latest patch.

My characters while standing still will repeatedly bounce in and out of the ground about four times per second. When moving or performing actions the character animation cuts off about a quarter of a second in and restarts. For example if I’m channeling an ability for four seconds my character will appear as if they’ve started and cancelled the action sixteen times in that four second time frame. The actions do complete but it is a little jarring to watch, especially if I’m performing an action that enemies can interrupt.

I’ve restarted the client a few times and played with the graphics settings; character animations, character models, camera settings, and pretty much every other graphical setting I could find in hopes that it may somehow fix the issue but have had no luck so far.

The one benefit is that it looks hilarious when my character dances.

Is this something others have experienced. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible solutions?

Thank you.

EDIT: When I type in chat the text bubble above my character also bounces up and down repeatedly. Its position changes much more substantially than that of my character.

I’m getting the same problem and I have yet to find a solution. Has anyone else resolved this please?

It is very annoying. It does seem to be character specific as my other characters do not have the same problem.

I would totally love to see this video of your character dancing.

I will get some more checking into this. Also, are you wearing the Aviator’s Cap?

I noticed this today, and I couldn’t get to the bottom of what was causing it after a load of troubleshooting, resetting things, verifying the client, etc.

The aviator’s cap does seem to be the cause. Make it visible and the last few frames of the last played animation will loop, hid it and everything is normal.

Lauren! I reported this ages ago, why you no say anything? I thought it was forgotten.

And yes, that is the EXACT problem Aviator cap has been causing since tuesday last week(could be wrong?).

EDIT : OH the thread is like 8 days old too.

I have the exact same issue on my engi, who is wearing the aviator cap. Would love to see a fix for this soon, as it gets pretty annoying after a while.

Just hide the cap.
