I’ve noticed a problem I’ve had lately, I think it’s tied to ETPro servers.
On occasion I get stuck in a loop where I keep trying to reload my gun but to no avail. It just keeps making the sound and showing the animation, but I never get the gun reloaded.
Is there some setting I have messed up? It only seems to happen on certain servers and I think they all were running ETPro.
It happens on both ET stock and etpro servers, and is the same bug as the one where you are sometimes unable to pick up health packs, objectives, etc.
On the client, cg_uinfo holds assorted flags (cg_autoreload, whether you want the stats dump part of cg_autoaction, cg_autoactivate, cg_predictitems), the value of cl_timenudge, and the value of cl_maxpackets, all to be communicated to the server. For whatever reason (the client sending bad/no info or the server losing it), these flags are occasionally lost on the server side, and things get wonky (you can’t pick things up, the crazy reload bug happens, etc.)
You can work around the problem when it occurs by turning one of the settings off and back on (e.g. cg_autoactivate 0;cg_autoactivate 1), which will cause the data in cg_uinfo to be sent to the server again.

or u could just type /reconnect in the console :drink: and the problem is solved

i would REALLY go for rains solution…
>ETplayer… by /reconnect you will loose your stats and XP…and u got the chance of not getting in to the server again if its crowded…besides…Rains solution will work imo…
