Combat Radial Menu "Quick Items" Severely Glitched

[Eothas]

I have been extensively testing the Combat Radial Menu (Right Trigger) in regards to using "Quick Items" to consume food items to buff your character prior to entering battles and came to the conclusion that it does not work the majority of the time (worked only roughly 10%-25% of time during my testing).

I made a video where it only worked for Eder exactly 25% of the time (worked on poultry, but failed on meat, beer, and milk):

Note: Workaround (as shown near the end of the video)= using food items from the Character Inventory (Left Trigger) works 100% of the time.

I hope the Devs fix this ASAP since this is a pretty severe glitch due to the frequent nature in which it occurs.

Quoting my collegue:
"There seems to be a small issue with quick items out of combat. Direct movement interrupts the usage of quick items. So in order for it to properly register release the left stick just after you press A/X."

In your video it looks like you character moves slightly to the left just after the radial is closed so this might work as a workaround for you.

Yes, you are correct. If I hold the analog stick all the way to the left (or any other direction) then the movement cancels out the action to be performed. If I just barely move the analog stick in the direction of the food item, then it does work properly most of the time, but this is tricky to do. I also can get it to work by releasing the Right Trigger button immediately after the X button is pressed but the timing on this can be tricky/annoying. I use the Quick Menu a ton so this solution doesn't work well for me since it is not consistent. I'm going to do things the hard way and just use "Quick Items" manually from the Character Inventory screen which is slow and annoying until you guys patch this.

Thank you for acknowledging that this problem exists. I hope that you guys include it in the next patch.........I noticed that the patch that just now released on the PS4 version does NOT include this fix.

Finally, thank you for bringing this amazing game to the PS4. I'm loving the hell out of this game!
