PLZ PLZ PLZ fix the melee bug


(RectalTerror) #1

It’s there since DAY ONE, it has made me killed so many times, I can’t believe this is still not fixed.

DB is plagued with “undetected key release” bugs and we all know it, but there is one that gets you killed all the time, it’s the melee one.

So, assign melee to a mouse thumb button (X1 or X2), and generally, as you move around/shoot at the same time, the release won’t be detected. Thus you keep dancing around, in the middle of a fight, and it gets you killed. You can of course try to press it again, and if by miracle you’re still not dead, generally it’s because you’ve been dancing around to avoid bullets and the second key release likely goes undetected.

Just HOW can a game have this kind of bug in 2017, especially years after its release??

I do know know if it’s bound to having melee on mouse X1 or X2, but I haven’t seen other keys stuck mid-game, only after special events (that happens a lot, but it’s harmless). I use numpad to move around, if that matters.
I would rather guess it has to do with mouse X1+LMB or RMB being released at the same time, or perhaps mouse wheel, I don’t really think it’s related to keyboard, although undetected keyreleases are common too.
