Fix the bug that makes you unable to shoot

(srswizard) #1

Get it done, this is fucking ridiculous.

Hint for your QA; it has something to do with quick abilities, weapon switching, and possibly spamming left click (maybe reloading too).

I know this is not the place for bug reports, and these are not the dev forums, but I want this bug acknowledged, since this was ignored during the dev stream, where I tried to bring it up.

Yes I’m salty, I just don’t like losing gunfights because of a game breaking bug like this.

(ZeroFactor) #3

yea, its happened to me a few times as well

Yeah it seems using a quick ability then using left click straight after simply uses the ability and keeps it out. Its especially annoying with defibs, though I’ve had it happen with Fletchers stickies as well.
It’s kind of like the carryable objective bug (another ridiculous and infuriating bug)

There’s that one too, but I’m talking about a similar bug that completely disallows firing, when you have your guns out.
Sometimes this is fixed by spamming your quick ability, left click and weapon switching, but it’s hard to fix it as a Vassili, for example, who has a long cooldown on his HBS.

Seriously, stuff like this should be number 1 priority. What’s the point of an shooter without the shooting. It also explains moments I’ve had where I could have sworn I’d shot, and blamed it on no ammo. Have you put it in the bug report section as well?

(srswizard) #7

I haven’t, and I don’t know if this bug is known on the warchest forums.
I just wanted to throw this out there, and get this bug known.

I can provide videos, but they look pretty stupid, since it’s just me aiming at people and not firing, because of the bug.

(LifeupOmega) #8

We’ve been talking with the devs in Discord as to why this happens. It is a priority for them but they’re having trouble replicating it.

(Supa) #9

This has happened to me an unbelievable amount of times. Makes you look like such a bozo. I already submitted this as well as a couple of other people if I remember correctly.

I feel like for this stuff they should just do a quick hotfix (if they know what the problem is) rather than waiting for the next update. Imagine this happening during the finals of the next event.

I’d post the videos in the bug report section if I were you. You never know, they may simply be unaware the bug exists, and your videos may point something out.
At least they won’t have ignorance as an excuse if they do ignore it, but I do trust SD, and this is a critical bug.

Well, they SHOULD be aware by now…

Never really experienced problems firing my guns, until I started playing with Dreiss again recently.

When it bugs out on me, sometimes I can’t just rapid fire the Dreiss(it simply wont fire, it takes about 1-1.5sec before it fires), but I can still spam fire my secondary.
Sometimes when I switch from my orbital laser to a gun and then back, I can’t move my laser at all, tried switching weapons and didn’t really know what else I could do.
And then there was another odd case where I could only fire the Dreiss, my secondary or melee ONLY if I clicked fast enough after switching weapons and only for one shot.

And today for the first time, my SMG-9 just got stuck on firing by itself, so if I’d switch to primary it would just shoot by itself until it had to reload and then keep firing.

All of these problems got fixed after a respawn though.

I love that bug. It’s not a big deal to not be able to do a thing.
Stop crying nab, u salty bro?! L2P already, I always top-score and carry you, kid!11!!

This is the exact bug that I’m talking about.
When it happens, you have to spam M1 right when switching to a weapon, and you can fire a shot or two, or a single burst on the burst rifles.
Spamming quick abilities for a bit, and switching to a weapon again, while spamming M1 sometimes fixes it.
It’s incredibly annoying.

Happens with the stark and br-16 with me, sometimes shotguns but havent been playing shotgun classes as of late.

It is super annoying when it happens, the way the “delay” works must freak out sometimes, I have a theory why this happens (was thinking about this earlier in work, since I have nothing better todo apparently xD)

(pumpkinmeerkat) #16

This happens to me playing Proxy occasionally. Last night I was only unable to fire my primary weapon oddly but usually it just makes M1 completely useless until respawn :’(

(Amerika) #17

I got this bug once while playing Hochfir proxy after throwing a mine into the control room on underground and was killed. On revive I couldn’t shoot at all for about 15 seconds. I ran back to the ammo dump near the elevator and by then I was able to fire again. It’s the only time that has happened to me but it has happened.

(FeralFlame) #18

@srswizard i found a fix, sometimes tabbing out helps. Not sure if same bug though but a similar one was fixed that way.

(bushyg) #19

3 times in one fucking game last night, beyond a joke.

#20

I myself have never experienced it yet but I can think of how it sucks.

Let’s hope they fix it fast. :slight_smile:
