Delay in acknowledgement of trigger finger

(Bloodbite) #1

Is it just me or has a delay crept into the system when changing weapons and the client’s ability to accept a quick left mouse click?

I have felt this way since the patch that introduced the delayed revive animations.

I often find myself in a quick weapos switch-and-click only to find my merc is just not paying attention.

That and a recurring issue with defibs staying equipped after several quick, successive revives.

I have had a few moments of quick meleeing too… where sawbonez or skyhammer would instead throw their supply packs at the enemy target… which makes you (me) look like an idiot… but that one hasn’t been as frequent as the defib jam or the dead trigger.

Is this happening to anyone else?

you mean: you switch weapons, try to fire ASAP and nothing happens? thats a bug

(Bloodbite) #3

Correct. I reckon it is tied to the revive delay too.

it applies to everything; first time i noticed it was second patch after nader:

switching to grenade launcher ad back to smg I’d be stuck without firing a single shot

Have you had it where part of the shooting animation plays but nothing fires without sound?

See I think that may be a separate cause. I’ve had smgs that refuse to reload, just get stuck in a clip change anim loop… 3 or so times, never was able to replicate it though

I have never experienced that bug.

More than several times I switch to main weapon and gun will not fire. Happens on using some turrets as well.

it is a pretest from our weapons.
“stop fire! stop killing people! i refuse to fire!! at least i wont a 1st shot after weapon switch…” our guns say silently (pun intended)

I had that bug too, with Fletcher’s Ahnuld, and indeed that seems something seperate.

We’ve fixed several issues related to weapon swapping and firing over the months, however if anyone can get reliable repro steps (or videos) of this occuring, that would help dramatically in tracking this down and nuking it from orbit (it’s the only way to be sure).

i can make shotguns infinity reload does that count

Maybe its a Connection/Server/Packet Loss Issue, we had this problem yesterday when we had to play on an american server, it mostly happened after either zooming or switching weapons, but sometimes it was just randomly appearing out of nowhere, it also happens on EU Servers, altough not quite as frequently and it mostly comes together with other issues like turrets without hitboxes etc…

yes, thats the one! (its stuck in animation without actually reloading)
