The Legion Disembark Bug: What it is, how it happens, and how to fix it.

Video version

For those of you who have no clue what this bug is, it completely disables disembark, regardless of whether or not you switch titans or the LTS round ends. However, it will not carry through separate matches. For LTS Legion/Multi-mains this can be really annoying, since it means you cannot pull any batteries.

The cause of it is pretty simple: the LTS round ending or dying while your powershot is charging up. If it happens during a delayed powershot, the bug will still apply. More specifically, in the mechanics of the game, powershot disables your disembark function and returns it when fired or if you eject during the charge. However, there is no case for the two listed conditions, in which case it never resets. Since the ability to disembark is held by the player (the player 'instance'), not the titan, it carries to other titans and through LTS rounds if it is not fixed.

To fix it, simply fulfill the conditions that were never met; fire a powershot (or eject during it, but that seems a little redundant to me). Note that since only powershot can fix it, if you switch titans you will not be able to fix it until you switch back to Legion.
