Has anyone else had this problem? I'm sure it has to do with lag, but it is really getting annoying. Basically, I get my SUV out, and it just disappears before it does anything. I think I've seen other people in my party have this problem too. Is there a way to combat this, or am I stuck praying to Lady Luck?

Is the damage being dealt? If it is, that's a problem with lag. If not.......=O

Am I correct in guessing this is a PS2 problem? I'm on PC and my RAcaseal's SUV has never had this happen to her.

A few hours ago I had one misfire, where nothing got hit. I assume it's nothing big, though. PC user, by the way.

Mine has done it a few times too, but only when I got the Sturm Buster. I don't think it ever did it with the Grom Buster.

Someone told me the damage still goes off, but I never see it, see the monsters burning after using it, or see them flying in the air from it. So I don't know how true that is.

I'm glad someone finally brought this up as I've felt kind of alone with this problem lol.

Grom, Rafal, and Sturm have all cancelled on me. The worst moment was while I told the my party I would solo the last right side room on Bruce's C. Took me 5 mins to kill them all once the SUV decided it didn't want to fire.

I'm on the PS2 as well. Some PC's users say they see my SUV "fire" but no damage or status effects are dealt. It's a bug that's for sure. Somedays it's REALLY REALLY bad. I'd be using Yohmei armor with no extra slot if this problem got any worse. (Go defense!)

This happens a lot. So far this is my best explanation for it.

Ever notice how sometimes you can't shoot/attack/whatever? You can only run around right? Well what is going on is the you are "resynching" with the rest of the group. What is happening is that you are trying to resynch when you use your SUV causing it to come down, and then just go right back up so you can continue to resynch.

Now I could be completely off, but as far as I have noticed, this seems to be the most logical cause of the problem. Only really happens in lag heavy areas (bigger 5, 6 man parties).

It used to happen to me but now I just stick with Blitz Buster.
I thought it cancelled cause I had got hit or something when summoning my SUV from the sky.

All damage is calculated server side. If you can't do damage even if you are hitting enemies it is server lag. The problem is by the time the gsme catches up if everything get killed you get no exp. When this happens you will see other players stop moving, you can switch weapons, chat bubbles won't appear, and doors will not open. I noticed this happens to me when Uni 2 is filled and in order to enter it I keep checking the orange thing over and over again to get into Uni 2.

Not to try to go off topic, but thanks, I still http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif at it when seeing it.

I just made it last night. Seen the Geico commercial with the caveman in the airport and it just popped in my head, went to their site and snagged a screen shot of it off the streaming video.

Pitch, after that Geico commercial, I believe you will anger those cavemen even further. They may sue >.>

It's caused when that targeting glitch occurs during the SUV where it won't let you attack/shoot/cast spells.

I've had it happen once I think on 360. And that's a maybe... because soon as I hit the buttons, my game froze. Could just be bad luck/timing, or could be what happens to 360 users.

...it's happened to me several times, whenever it does...someone winds up lagging out of the party...

A friend of mine told me this can happen if someone changes weapons while your SUV loads in.

Yeah, my bro, Heavy Arms, had this once, it was funny:

He was getting stressed, and he something like: "Right! That's it! TAKE THIS!"

His SUV came down... and then went straight back up again!

Me and Isobel/Jonty just burst out laughing! He was not impressed to say the least! lol
