    [PS4] AC Black flag online character not moving.

    All left stick movement, other than very slight shivering or shuttering stopped working mid match.

    Game was wanted. All other functions worked properly.
    Turning off and on controller had no effect.
    Controller worked fine on home screen but returning to game it was still not moving.
    Restarting the game fixed it.
    Did not record video because I can't upload to Ubisoft nor know how to send images or video any other way that I can make work.
    First time event.

    **additional notes**

    Loads of weird things happen in multiplayer mode.
    Either my or another players character will float up to around 35 meters either to me or mine in rewind to be killed.
    Abilities do not work sometimes, and ranged abilities aim but do not fire occasionally.

    I may just not see it explained anywhere but cannot use morph in manhunt if trying to use on other team during the pursuer round.
    No problem in any other game mode.
    Can use it against NPCs as long as there is no opponent in area.

    Previously purchased character customizations have had to be repurchased.

    I purchased abstergo plus but can not see a difference in amount of xp gain.

    Seeing the square icon does not matter at times, as an opponent can stand in front of me while I push the button 10 times and nothing happens.
    Used a custom match and a buddy with us using mics, he could hit square and attack but mine does nothing sometimes.

    Opponents not using sheild, and running will not set off traps occasionally.
    Nor will they be affected by any other abilities occasionally.
    Also tested with friends.

    While these are frustrating, I can at least normally attempt to run away until they decide to work. Most of the time I don't get very far since the opponents can fly through the air for 30-40 meters or pull me back the same, occasionally.

    Last I can think of is many many times having no lookalikes on maps, occasionally there will be maps full of just one or two characters lookalikes but none for anyone else.

    Oh, there is a camera issue.
    In the guide it is suggested while doing the kill animation to move the camera to target the next opponent.
    This is impossible, and I've tried the manual camera option in options menu both on and off.
    There seems to be no change whatsoever in any camera movement.
    If walking in blend group you have to constantly fight the camera to be able to look around.

    Additional notes are not main purpose of this post. But if anyone else experiences the same please leave a reply so Ubisoft knows it is not an isolated problem.

    Hello!

    Thank you for contacting us, we will do our best to help with this.

    It may be best for us to focus on 1 or 2 issues at a time. We recommend creating forum threads to discuss 1 issue in particular, as the focus of the thread can easily be lost otherwise.

    Let's start by discussing the movement. Can you please confirm if this only ever happened once, or whether this affects you frequently? It may have been a one-time occurrence.

    Thank you!

    Just once, and as I said previously the additional notes are not the main focus of the thread.
    They are there for information purposes only. Players like me like to see if issues happen to others too

    It happened again just now.
    Was in domination at portobello.
    Worked fine most of the match, winning us 2 vs 3 then all of a sudden I couldn't move.
    Basically just as before, I was able to use my 2 abilities, camera could move, I could lock on, killed 2 like that matter of fact.
    1 thing different is I had a gun this time but it would not fire.
    If I held to aim no action but there was sound. After releasing button the gun did not fire and the aiming sound continued for a few seconds.
    I've restarted game as before and checking now to see if fixed.

    Yes working again.
    07:54 right now maybe 07:48 when happened.
