I have noticed a large number of people have been experiencing one of a couple of bugs in relation to the general function of pets; pet doesn't fire, or player constantly gives the command to attack. I seem to have collected both bugs in one set.

Firstly, even if I press the attack command 20+ times, the sprite won't attack. I don't believe this to be a lag problem, as lagged commands would eventually occur, usually after 5 second at most. but after the command is given, the sprite never attacks. this has occurred consistently, in a calm test environment and in the presence of enemies. This is a serious problem, as it defeats the purpose of the sprite entirely.

Secondly, sometimes I have been locked into giving the command instantly, without prompt. No prompt keys are being leaned upon, there are no commands set to analog functions such as an analog stick. This problem could be passable, except that with conjunction with the first problem, I get locked into an endless rut of issuing a command that will never be answered. This constant stream of commands also disables the use of shield and weapon to run the point animation, thus ruining any chance of proceeding through an assigned mission.

I would appreciate it if some investigation went into why some people have been experiencing troubles with these problems.
