Instead of Reloading Weapon, game forces an un-cancellable Shield Recharge

Since the Alpha Test, until Today, I've been experiencing an issue where instead of reloading my weapon, the game forces a shield recharge to be used. It's extremely jarring since it prevents me from reloading my weapon and re-engaging, and it uses a precious consumable that isn't necessary in the moment. This can happen randomly, at any moment, without warning or a way to cancel it.


a few things to note:

  • my character's shield is full.
  • the input settings i have do not overlap in any way whatsoever. i even reset my keybinds to default and changed them again. The bug seems to occur with any keybind.
  • i havent been able to completely prove exactly how, but roughly, the bug occurs with multiple inputs at a time, sometimes when cancelling the reload animation, and sliding. its hard to replicate, but it happens around an estimated 1/20 weapon reloads as i've noticed in my normal gameplay usually during an active fight. I can't provide a more appropriate sample since i have no testing environment.
  • cannot deactivate this bug at all, until i've died, or used a shield recharge.

anyone else experienced this?
