Grenade goes to lalaloopsy land

(Mustang) #1

So very often (1 in 10 probably) when I have finished cooking a nade and release it upon my unsuspecting victim it will just disappear into thin air.

I mean I get nade out, can see myself cooking it, try to throw and it just doesn’t. No nade appears on the ground, no explosion, no devastation, no dead enemy, usually dead me (from enemy bullet fire).

I mostly use quick nade, but think it also happened once when using weapon bank, not positive on this one though.

I seem to notice this mostly when throwing the second nade of assault, but I’m also pretty sure I’ve had this as engie, or with other first nades.

The nade does not remain in my inventory, it gets “used”.

Myth confirmed; same here, plus*, from time to time I have to scroll through my weapons, in order to get the ammo packs off of me. If I wouldn’t scroll to the next/previous weapon I couldn’t get the ammo packs off, even though my “ammo bar” is completely full.

*(in order to not open another thread I put this in here)

PS: I’m playing almost exclusively the Arty char; so it’s definitely not soldier specific.

Seems to be a known unresolved issue then.

It seems this occurs more often when CPU/GPU is under load.

i should of mentioned this a while back but is still happening
but this is happening with turrets sometimes. doesn’t deploy but appears used. probably unrelated but similar.
