The animation for running with a drawn dualsaber is glitching out. The legs and feet look wobbly. It is happening with both the normal run and while sprinting. The glitch is much more pronounced with sprint turned off though, it looks like the animation is cutting off and starting over mid-step.

 

Experiencing this with Female Body Type 1. I've tested the other lightsaber wielding characters (all same gender and body type) and only the dualsaber seems affected. I noticed this started happening after patch 5.10.3.

Animation is borked. Tested it out as human female body 2. When the saber is drawn she runs at 25% slower speed.

Yeah, same here. I have broke it today. My sin runnning animation really strange.

Can confirm. Changing to a single-hilt saber fixes the run glitch but that's not really an option for a shadow/assassin.

I had Body Type 3 on my female consular and everything got bugged when I changed to Body Type 2.

I am on Iokath with my Sith assassin doing the where dreams die mission and this bug has started again when I run with dualsaber out. it was fine before update 6.1.

I've started having this too, though not with my Shadow...

Grammar

Confirming with my assassin, Fem B1. at some point during fights, or running to NPCs, she does a weird skipping animation. Looks horrible. So, Bioware, you've know now for over 9 months? o.O

Yep, got same moving bag on female B2. Really it's so annoying that I even had to wear pretty long robe to hide my legs :/

The bug happens on my Female sin body type 1 (can't confirm others) only with the Obfuscation talent chosen and without sprint active. Edited March 24, 2020 by mnemonic

Still bugged after half a year. Can we expect the fix in the upcoming patch?

Why hasn't any word on this been given, after all this time? When can we expect a fix for this bug?

Turn off the 15% speed attribute and it doesn't do the bug.

 

Yay! Workaround! Fix just went from 2 years, to.... yeah I think we know.

It's been almost an entire year since we were told this is being worked on. Can we get an actual update on this situation and an ETA for the fix? 'We're still aware' isn't really a good answer after 11 months. What's the hold up? When's it coming?

I have been experimenting with this and am having this bug today, It happens after I apply the perk that increases my normal running speed by 15%. This is unfortunate as it would be nice to run faster a bit, but the animation glitch doesn't make it worth it. So hopefully that helps you narrow this down, looks like it was brought up for a long while now though.

I've lost hope this will ever be fixed unless it somehow happens to break the ability to purchase cartel coins.

It has now been over a year since this was reported, and the team has yet to fix an ANIMATION GLITCH or provide any information whatsoever beyond "we know about".

 

This bug is also affecting people using Cartel Market lightsabers. Maybe that'll get it fixed.

Respec your abilities and get rid of the movement increase ability, it fixed it completely for me!

Bioware doesn't fix bugs, do people not know this? So many bugs have gone into the "team is aware" box that simply never get fixed, years and years later.

I can see this glitch on my female shadow body type 4 . It seems, as some people mentioned, the main culprit is that 15% movement speed increase from the "Misdirection" utility; as soon as I enabled that one, I've started seeing the glitch.

 

Can we please get a fix for this? It's very easy to reproduce.

Still not fixed.

 

Only solution to this is not to use Obfuscation which is:

 

"Increases your movement speed by 15% and your effective stealth level by 10."

 

A very important utility for some aspects of the game.

 

Thanks to all for the reports about the current running animation with drawn weapon of Shadows and Assassins. It is affecting multiple body types of female and male characters. The team is aware of the issue and working on a fix.

 

 

Are you sure about that? Because this is STILL HAPPENING IN 2021

Still broken! In game "Support" said that I maybe have some conection/launcher problem and send these useless links - " https://help.ea.com/en-in/help/star-wars/star-wars-the-old-republic/swtor-launcher-troubleshooting-guide/ " " https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/connection-troubleshooting-basic/ ". *** is that!? Some sorta trolling?! Edited April 23, 2021 by Nita_Kane
