Alyerbase Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Is it just me, or do companions run like they forgot to turn sprint on since the patch? I constantly find my companions lagging behind me when I move on foot, whether around the fleet or during chapters, to the point where they disappear, leash, and pop back into existence next to me, only to start the dance all over again. Is anybody else getting this?
JediRelentless Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Yes OP, definitely. Another thing I've noticed since 5.0, my companions are frequently vanishing under the floor. During combat the enemy npcs are looking down, shooting at a spot on the floor. The companion continues to perform their combat role, they just are not visible.

Amodin Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Yes, it's a big problem with companions. Something I'm sure is on the ignored list of items to fix by Bioware, which is right in line with everything else that's been a bug and still not fixed.
dr_mike Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Known issue. Been mentioned a few times previously without acknowledgement. edit: The game should auto catch up the companion if they get far enough behind. Edited January 2, 2017 by dr_mike
Sir-steve Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 I've noticed a couple of odd behaviours: - They don't follow close/move slowly as OP has noted - They don't engage in combat very quickly. This could be associated with the distance - They 'forget' to heal even when on heal mode I have wondered if there's a correlation between the behaviour and level - if it's a way to give the companion levels more relevance i.e. a level 1 companion wanders off, but a level 50 comp is right next to you and jumps in faster. I haven't really spent any time investigating it because I've been levelling 25 alts from 65-70, but it's my working theory for now.
Lunafox Posted January 2, 2017 Posted January 2, 2017 Yeah, Arcann is always behind! I'll make your day. Maybe he likes the view. *clashes symbols* Ba da bump.

Nope, my lvl 50 comp is as lazy and cowardly hides under the floor as the rest
