1.2 bugs?


(StormShadow) #1
  1. i cant walk over an item (med pack, ammo pack) to pick it up, i need to stop and pick it up using that hand thingy. Is this just me? No one else has been bitching about it… so maybe its just a glitch on my end.

  2. problems reloading - sometimes i have to hit reload twice in order to reload my gun. I hit reload once, it goes through the motions, but i still have 0 bullets in my chamber.

Thats it for now, ill let ya know more as i find them.

I had the ammo/med pack bug tonight too… very frustrating.

I should have known something was odd when I started the map in limbo rather than on the allies side that I was on from the last map (Battery). Anyway, I joined back on the Allies side and as usual it asked if I wanted to join a fireteam, only the F1/F2 buttons no longer worked at all! :frowning:

No worries, obviously some wierd bug I’ve found! But then, Icouldn’t pick up any ammo or med packs without standing over them, waiting for the hand icon and pressing activate! I was a medic by the way, so at this point I’m thinking maybe this is how they fixed the giving the packs to yourself issue (never really a bug to me, but hey, I know some of you didn’t like it!).
I then find a lone Axis guy and kill him, only 2 bullets left so what the heck, lets have his gun… errr…lets not. I now find I can’t pick his gun either :eek: What is going on, how’s a lonely medic like me supposed to fend for himself!!!

After moaning about this in IRC to my fellow clan members (they listen good :wink: ) we decided to try it out on an empty server and eh voila!, I couldn’t reproduce what had just happened to me (and as a software developer I know how frustrating this must be!).

I was going to post this up thinking it was just me, but looks like it’s not. I just hope it doesn’t appear too much. I’ve given you all the info I can remember from the time (Allies medic going from battery to goldrush), I just hope you know what’s causing it! ( and maybe fix it?)

Cheers

P.S. It really is appreciated what you’ve done so far with this game :slight_smile:

no problems here as a field op
actually the "bug"fix for picking up ammo yourself works great for me

now I can just feed the ammo to who i want


(Lefty) #5

Indeed, had both bug 1) and 2) last night exactly as described above.

Restarting the game fixed it though - and I was not able to reproduce them as of now.

Didn’t have any gameplay bugs yet. Only in the controls menu. First I did a /unbindall in the console (after doing a fresh install of ET) to unbind all keys. After binding the first key (walk forward to kp8) all default keybindings returned. Never had this before, /unbindall works perfect for every other Q3-Engine based game.

Patch looks cool to me. Have to wait a bit more till my favorite servers update to 1.02.


(Spark) #7

I just had bug 1 and some others on the server had it too or at least knew about it, so it seems very common. :frowning:
Not sure about the reload bug but it also sounds nasty.


(Torizo) #8

I’ve encountered both bugs, and the reload bug was particulary nasty - no matter how many times I reloaded I still had 0 bullets in my chamber. :frowning:

Also, I’ve had problems with weaponbank 7. If I hit key 7 and try to switch to my binoculars whilst playing as a field op nothing happens. In order to get to them I have to scroll trough all the weapons with my mouse weel.


([FB]CajunSamurai) #9

I’ve yet to actually play 1.02 yet, but one thing I did notice is that I can’t view any of my old replays. :???: Are they incompatible now? This would be a major bummer, 'cause I enjoy watching some of my old replays and I’ve collected quite a few of them over the months.
Everything seems to be in the right place still, though, so I’m puzzled… very odd. Anyone else have this problem?


(twiFight) #10

this is not a bug, but a new feature
the binoculars have moved to a seperate weaponbank
to get the binocs you have to press 8 now…

i know, it sucks a bit, got killed quite a few times last night because of it.
but we’ll get used to it I guess


(Ragnar_40k) #11

ET with patch 1.02 has a new protocol version, now its protocol 83. So I think its not compatible.


(Torizo) #12

this is not a bug, but a new feature
the binoculars have moved to a seperate weaponbank

Oh, thanks, that’s one problem out of the way.

I’ve got a voice command binded to the 8 key right now, so whenever i press it I cry out for a medic. Guess i’ll have to change that. :smiley:


(Sick Boy) #13

Just rename them to .dm_83 and you can play them again.
There are some weird colored lines appearing on places a gun should lay on the ground (I think) though.

To rename all your demos at once, open the command box (cmd), change directory to your demos folder and type: ren *.dm_82 *.dm_83


(=TAC=Chron) #14

et crashed on me after i applied the patch, but i did a reboot of my computer and it cleared up. played all evening with no other problems that i noticed, but the switching of the binocs to 8 baffled me for a bit though :eek:


(Pamper) #15

No you don’t!!!

Binocs are “B”! They’ve always been “B”!
Pressing 7 (or now 8 ) to get binocs is holding up a sign, “Kill me plz, cuz I’m a newb!”

Using “B” a Fieldops can FFE in a split-second without putting down the MP40. Or a soldier can Panzer-Snipe from across the map.


(Spark) #16

Yeah, but only with 8 you can see the nice binocular model!! :slight_smile:
Darn, I forgot how it looks.
