First shot not firing sometimes, people till having this issue?

[Ftmch]

I sure do. Sometimes the first shot I fire just won't fire, I click but nothing happens, then when I click again it fires, however, this is a very annoying issue since the time it takes (for me at least) to realize that a shot didn't fire and I need to press fire again could mean the difference between life and death, even if we are talking about milliseconds.

Doesn't seem to be the same with automatic weapons though, since you often hold down the button using them. Has anyone else got the same problem?

It only seems to happen when I haven't fired my gun for a long while, but mostly right at the start of a round or similar, but not all the time.

I remember seeing others posting about this before, which leads me to believe that it's not a mouse-issue on my part. (I have a logitech G5 laser mouse by the way, in case people have the same problems using the same/different mouse).

Apart from that I'm starting to like the game more and more, seems my performance is a bit better since the last patch, and I haven't encountered the "no reload animation"-bug as much recently either. Or maybe it's just me?

Yes, many people are having this issue.

Yes, this happens quite often to me recently and every weapon is affected. I have a different mouse (Razer Death Adder) and most likely a different hardware setup. Some of my friends are experiencing the same issue since beta 1.0.
My opinion is bound to be subjective, but I imagine that it happens far more often on the small maps like apartment or barracks than on the larger ones like fallen fighters.
To not rage when it happens I simply pretend it's not a bug, it's a feature

Still here

I've been experiencing it only for the last two days, and it's extremely infrequent so far.

 

[Mafiozo]

Yes, here as well. very annoying. also noticed that Reloading animations wont show from time to time.

 

[Heilkraut]

i had it once (yesterday) and it made my weapon completely stuck, it was even impossible to get to iron sights
but i was able to switch to grenade and throw it (unfortunately with an own casualty ) after that it was possible to use the main weapon again

 

[Ftmch]

Haha, yeah, I pretend my character has ethical problems with pulling the trigger on another human being, but then he realizes that war and life is hell and turns into a shell of a human being, pulling the trigger with no problems, haha. No, but seriously, I'm not that enraged by it, it's just slightly frustrating when it happens when you have an enemy soldier right in your crosshairs and nothing happens But I'm guessing it'll be fixed eventually!

Has everyone experiencing this tested to make sure it isn't just the game dynamic of interrupted loading?

If you click reload but in the middle of that action you run for example, the reload stops, (which is realistic since you'd stop the magazine feed and start running) meaning when you aim and fire you'll just get click becuase you never loaded your gun.

Reload and run then see what happens...then click reload again and sit still, you'll see the entire animation complete, meaning your gun is now loaded.

No, it's not that type if click, when you click again the gun fires, the game just doesn't react at all to the first click, and this usually happens right at the start of games, when you haven't used the weapon at all yet.


By the way, has anyone any observations on if it fires right away when you click again or is there some delay before you can fire? Usually these things have happened in the heat of battle, so I haven't observed it closely enough.

 

[LeopoldStotch]

Yep it's known, maybe they are working on it maybe not.

 

[Ftmch]

Just noticed I accidentally posted this in the general section and not the bugs-section.Sorry about that, please move the topic if you see it mods.

 

[Wodin]

Yes, happened a fair few times now...it's something thats been introduced with a patch.

I've had it not fire and had it delay fire aswell.

 

[V.Medvedev]

Have experienced this as well, But no more than 3 times.
Luckily haven't had it happen in a while

 

[skewp]

Happens with automatic weapons as well. But the problem is even greater on them, since when you click you expect your weapon to spray in auto fire, however if the first bullet does not fire and you keep holding the shoot key you won't shoot at all. With semi auto weapons you are used to having to click all the time so you can correct that error by quickly clicking again. Autos are mostly used in close quarters where enemies will have autos as well. If your weapon fails to shoot, you are 99% dead.

I have this issue too and it's extremely annoying.

First time I noticed it was on CommissarsHouse, and I figured oh... some kinda gun froze whatever.

But I'm getting it on different maps, at different times. Don't see any logic in it.

And it's pissing me off beyond words since I use rifles alot, and not getting first shot off = being sprayed down by noobs with PPSh.

Among the huge amount of bugs in the game atm, this is definately one of the most annoying ones since it sends you right back to the freaking respawn queue and another long jog back to the frontline.

 

[Gingermadman]

Happens every time for me when I join a server or the map changes, first shot will never register when I left click.

 

[Fallanx]

This is a critical gameplay bug, among many others unfortunately.

I've been getting this more since last patch. Happened with MG34/saddlemag and DP-28 and I think also with PPSH-41. I have gotten into the habit of firing a single round at my feet every time I spawn, seems to clear the 'jam' so when I come to the enemy I can actually fire.
