MajorAssassin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 My brother was playing the game, when he ran away of an enemy, for some reason it stopped chasing him. That was very bad, because even though he was no longer in combat for real, the game thought he was becuase of fighting the creature and running away.. He could not do anything besides fight other creatures and run. No matter where you run, you are still "in combat". You cant logout or quit while in combat. I can tell you how to fix this, however. To stop your "combat," the only thing you can do is die, and you will be out of the "combat." You might of thought of that eventually, but i take no chances. I hope this helps. This happened while he was an Empire player, Sith Inquisitor, level 4. This could be specific bug, or a general one. This will propably not happen to you I dont think.

DPCummerbund Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've never had this happen either - as a PP said, it usually fixes itself. However, given the cost of dying and rezzing, I'd try quitting the program before dying. I can't imagine it would log you back in as "in combat".

JettrikRyflix Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've had this happen a couple of times. Either you can die and respawn, or go and kill the thing(s) you originally ran away from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggthebase Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I had this happen to me from time to time as well. You can also try to run far far away and wait a few minutes so that the enemy goes into evade mode and resets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CthulhuRyleh Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have had this happen as well but after killing the next mob (any mob at all) it would always take me out of combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithros Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I have had this happen as well but after killing the next mob (any mob at all) it would always take me out of combat. This is my experience as well. When you should be in a non-combat state, but aren't because of this bug, just go fight something else. Once that combat is resolved, both the normal and the phantom combat state disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysister Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 typing /stuck would clear this up too, but then you'd suffer death penalties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sarahleigh Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Press ctrl U, wait a few seconds and then press ctrl u again. It should do the trick. It worked for me at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshlaBoga Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Had this happen a couple times, the OP is giving BAD info, it fixes itself, it just takes a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyriosgundam Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Never had this problem, had mobs end up under the ground and attack me but never had a phantom combat state happen to me with any of my characters. The only Inquisitor bug I ran into was the Story Mission bug on Dromund Kaas at level 40 however BioWare has fixed that bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Taral Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Is it possible that the mob isn't attacking you because they're attacking either a) your companion, who doesn't run away, or b) another player that you can't see because you ran away? I've never had a problem. And I do regularly run away. I get far enough, they stop chasing, and then combat ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesixxpack Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 This is my experience as well. When you should be in a non-combat state, but aren't because of this bug, just go fight something else. Once that combat is resolved, both the normal and the phantom combat state disappear. ^ This, and can confirm it's a bug, not a still too close to aggro'd npc issue.
