Fragger occasionally does not throw the grenade after cooking it.

(platinumHamster) #1

Hello there

So I just recently got this problem that my fragger does not throw the grenade after cooking it. It’s just like he switched weapons when I let off the button to throw it. The grenade dissapears and I get half of it’s cooldown.
This has killed me so many times and prevented so many great nade kill possibilites. I really don’t know why, nothing changed on my end, my inet is sometimes a bit laggy, but overall stable and my ping is usually around 40-70 so I don’t really think it’s lag related. Tried rebinding the key, tried to throw it while having the grenade “equipped” as weaponslot 4, nothing fixes it. sometimes around 50 % of the nades don’t get thrown.

It might also be noteworthy that this started happening after the last update.

Any idea on what this is and how to fix it. It’s just so infuriating that I can’t even really play fragger anymore (But I’d love to, just got the k51 in gold :D)

Thanks in advance :slight_smile:

If you change weapon before you throw it then he’ll essentially ‘put the pin back in’ and give you half the cooldown back. You say this happens quite a lot, could you write a step-by-step of how to reproduce it as it will help us with fixing the issue.

E.g.

  1. Select grenade with ‘4’
  2. Cook grenade for ‘X’ seconds
  3. Grenade goes on cooldown

Thanks :slight_smile:

Kinda the same what happens from time to time with Phoenix’s Healing Pulse… which is happening more often to me after latest update. Before it happened maybe once in 5+ matches. Now it happens ~50% of the time.

I exactly know how it is happening. You select your grenade and when you are just starting to throw it, you change back to your primary weapon. It cancel your grenade :frowning:
It’s a bit like throwing stuff in csgo. You throw your stuff and exactly when it’s done, you come back to your primary weapon. But in DB it’s not really possible to do it as fast so it result in a bug

If this is happening without switching weapons then I believe this is a bug. I will have this looked into.

If you switch weapons while cooking grenades or charging healing pulse ect it does go on partial cool down.
