Vault Achilles, Corrupted Hero Ball falls short
Right after entering the Vault the first puzzle the ball always hits the left ledge of the platform it's supposed to land on and drops straight down instead of landing on the platform and rolling across (and then drop of the right edge)
I've tried reloading the vault, that does not help.
Version is 1.0.3 fresh after update, had not tried to enter the vault before.

Hey yetiszaf!
I believe the ball you are referring to needs to be grabbed before it falls. Activate the switch, race through the platforms and get to the ball before it falls and grab it with your bracers.

Bug
Hi everyone. No I also think this is a bug. I have the same problem. In some cases the ball rolls to the other side of the platform and falls. Maybe the correct path and you have to run trough the parcour. But the most time it touches the platform and you can not get it. I tried, it is not a kind of ball that you can carry with you.

Hey Ubi-Spud,
That ball needs to be grabbed before it falls off the platform, correct. However ...
The ball starts off on the left, gets pushed by air to an "air-lift", goes up, drops onto another air-lift, then on a platform, rolls along that platform and falls off the platform on the right - At least that's what I got it do do after trying 40 times.
During these 40 times the ball would sometimes not even hit the second air-lift and just drop short of that, sometimes hit first and second air-lift and hit the ledge of the platform but not roll onto that platform, sometimes hit first and second air-lift and then miss the platform it's supposed to roll along on by about the width of the ball itself, dropping down left of the platform.
Now that I've actually managed to get past that first ball puzzle I got to the second one and I have basically the same problem again - ball gets pushed, goes over an air-lift, needs to be rolled up a slope, then down a slope, and then I guess it's supposed to be pushed to the left and then to the left again to hit another air-lift.
I say it's supposed to do that because what's happening is that the ball is accelerated by the two horizontal air-vents and then either misses the air-lift entirely or hits the first air-lift and then drops short of the second air-lift.
I don't know too much about how games work these days, but the way this looks and behaves I'd say someone wants to take a look at how the physics engine behaves on PS4 (in this case not a PS4 Pro) and start tuning a bunch of parameters to actually make the puzzles work.

Same issue. Tried on both PC and Stadia with same results. See https://stadia.google.com/capture/e7...5-1cbd13ec8902

Same issue on Switch.
I am also having this issue. Tried about 50 times and the ball never has reached the platform.
Update: finally was able to parcour up the platforms and grab the ball midair while it was falling (with GREAT difficulty!). Subsequent parts of the vault did not have the same issue - makes me pretty certain it’s a glitch.
