...But now they're unresponsive and inaccurate when using mouse and keyboard. Since the update both menus reset the "mouse-over detection" half a second after being opened, making rapid selections impossible. You have to be slow and patient every time you want to use them, which is the opposite of ideal considering they prevent you from looking around and returning fire for as long as they're open.

Here is an example of me dying to this, partly because of my stubborness, I'll admit it. I really wanted to call a JB-2 on my position and clear the flag before the round was over. :(

This goes on top of submenus being finicky to navigate with a mouse ever since launch, as you have to precisely keep the cursor over their items otherwise they close. BF1's submenu system is much more robust and allows you to select commands with a quick flick of wrist, no matter how far from the center of the screen your cursor ends up being.

Also there is an issue introduced with BF1 where sometimes the Commo Rose stops responding to mouse-over until you click. In BF1 this was somewhat rare (let's say once every other round at worst), but in BFV it's extremely common (about once every other spawn).

Here is a brief video I recorded the day the patch came out featuring all 3 of these issues, happening just minutes apart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETBdbX1Ycs0

If you often play as squad leader on PC and have Context-Based Order Giving disabled, all these issues combined make the experience rather frustrating, to the point where you feel a bit of relief when you're not squad leader as you know you won't have to deal with these issues as often.
If I'm doing something wrong, please let me know.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

All of the issue I've detailed in the main post and the comment above this are still present in the game as of the latest update.

I've also noticed there is a bug with the Reinforcements Rose which causes the game to automatically call a V-1/JB-2 while still in the Reinforcements menu, before you pull out the binoculars, which for me often means calling it on my own position as I tend to open the menu before getting out of cover...

Here are some examples, note that in most (if not all) instances I did not press the "fire" button (LMB) while the menu was open:

I reckon it may have to do with opening the Reinforcements menu after having cancelled a request (in the same life), and the recent issue with menus resetting your selection makes this bug much easier to trigger by accident.

Thank you for your time.


Edit: I played some more, the issue where your inputs are reset half a second after opening the rose menu seems to have been partially mitigated; if you're fast enough you can now issue commands very rapidly, but if you take too long (read: more than 1 second) the game still resets your selection which is annoying.

Cheers /u/qlimaxmito - I've been spotting this myself the last few days on PC (its like I have to click 10 pixels left/below where I'm intending) so I really appreciate you getting these videos up for us. I'm rank 50 on PS4 and closing in on 40 I think on Xbox so I know the double frustrations that crop up on Console

I've shared this with the gang and invited them to look into this some more.
