Merc crouches without me pressing "crouch" key?!?

(Gwarh) #1

I thought at first it was just me somehow pressing the crouch key but i’ve paid careful attention and that’s not it.

I find all the Mercs seem to at random crouch automatically when they get close to cover of so me sort. Be it a wall or box or what have you. Am I crazy and I really have phantom crouch finger? Or is there some sort of auto-crouch gears of war thing in the game.

I ask as it’s annoying as $%^# and always seems to happen when I need to quickly move out of the way which of course doesn’t happen when you’re crouched.

check crouch toggle

This toggle crouch thing annoys me, cuz in all other FPS, if you are in toggle crouch mode, when you sprint you automatically get out of the toggle crouch mode so when you stop sprinting you are standing.

I have toggle crouch enabled as it’s how I’ve always used it. But good suggestion and yes I’ve tried it without and it still happens.

I’m perplexed as to what is causing it. I thought it was an intentional cover/ducking mechanism built into the game but who knows. If it is intentional it’s really annoying.

I can say since the most recent patch (June 18? 2015) that introduced Sparks the issue with uncontrolled crouching is still occurring.

If no one else is experiencing it then I’ll just muddle through it, but I hope it’s a bug that can be resolved somehow.

Game still has a few desync issues that still needs to be looked at, I have low ping of an average of 60ms but still have the tendency to teleport places.

I’ve actually had this happen with walking; suddenly I’ll notice my character is basically crawling around and the first time I had no idea. I didn’t even realize there was a walk toggle in the game, and when I checked I didn’t have it bound to anything. I’ve since bound it to an out of the way key because I have to tap it to get out of walk mode when this happens.
