Greetings,

Below are a couple of comments from Hiroshi Minagawa about the issue being experienced where there is a delay when trying to switch between hotbars with the gamepad.

No changed were made to the R1 button feature, but it’s possible that it was affected in some way from other change. Due to this we will be looking into the implementation history and searching for the change that is causing this.

I understand this is a really severe issue and I will make an announcement with further details as soon as possible.

  • The Change Causing this Issue

    Directly after executing an action set to the directional buttons on the cross hotbar, if you release the hold on the L2 and R2 buttons and are still pressing the directional buttons, it acts as an anchor. Please fix this.
    In order to address the above, we added a process that would disable button input for a set frame right after releasing the L2 and R2 buttons. The L1 and R1 buttons were also included in this, which is creating a delay when switching due to the disable input period.

  • Method to Fix the Issue
    We’ll be reverting the above change back to the 2.15 functionality.
    This is the quickly method to address this issue.

  • Hotfix Schedule
    I’ll be confirming with the programmers and the QA team for when the fix can take place.

I apologize for the inconvenience, and once we’ve decided on the Hotfix schedule I will be sure to make an announcement.
