[Error] Impossible to reload at ammo cache if ammo count at 0?

[SchabeOink]

I just played the defense mission on Commissars House in the German Campaign were I ran out of ammo for the G41 w/4x scope.

I ran several times to and from the ammo cache right outside the first defese objective and it did make that clunking "reloading" sound.

However the ammo counter for the G41 w/scope always remained at 0, needless to say I couldn't reload at all.

Let me try to find out if this is single-/multiplayer, map or location or indeed weapon related...

Anyone else encountered this?

EDIT:
I just replayed the same map and took screenshots.

I emptied both the G41 and the P38, then approached the ammo cache.

Altough playing the reload sound, both the ammo counters of both weapons remained at 0. See screenshots for reference.

Ok I tested this now in Multiplayer as Russian AT Class:

I emptied the AT Rifle and the Revolver and went straight to the next ammo cache.

The result was just the same as with the test above: Both weapons would not reload despite the sound being played and their ammo counter remained at 0.

Screenshots for reference.

The above tests have been made after the 16th Sept mini patch and its recall.


Now, after these events I've played Multi, Appartments, Russia, Assault:

This time the gun, an empty AVT, does reload correctly at the cache while its ammo count stands at zero!


Will go back now and check with the G41 in the campaign as this was the event that got me started on this...

I was able to recreate the error with the G41 as described in the first post.
It appears the problem is related to individual weapons.

EDIT:
So far confirmed to be affected:
-G41
-P38
-PRTS (Russian)
-Nagant Revolver
-SVT Sniper

Reloading properly:
-AVT
-K98
-Moisin Nagant

tl,dr: some weapons will not reload at ammo caches when they are empty and their ammo count is at zero.

It seems there is more to it:

-As listed above, the SVT-Sniper didn't reload at the cache as do other guns, however: I switched back to my default K98 and reapproached the ammo cache and voil

I can confirm the G41 not being able to reload after completely empty and resupply.

 

[stryker211]

This is the case with any weapon I use if I empty all ammo and resupply. Can't reload and cant rearm.

 

[SchabeOink]

This is the case with any weapon I use

Have you tried it with these weapons:
-AVT
-K98
-Moisin Nagant

Because for me they did reload and rearm...

Can confirm on Kar98k, G41:
When out of ammo and resupplied in the field, cannot switch to weapon using '1' key.

Fix: Weapon switches properly using mouse wheel weapon menu, and is reloaded, and fires.

Try using mouse wheel?

Can confirm on Kar98k, G41:
When out of ammo and resupplied in the field, cannot switch to weapon using '1' key.

If I remember correctly this was also the case with RO1 - empty guns not being able to be reselected...

My testing above was done without changing to a different weapon however.

Anyone know if this has been confirmed by TWI yet?

Anyone know if this has been confirmed by TWI yet?

No idea , but it has been reported by a lot of users .

I just had the same problem in the beta server.

Only my weapon was not quite empty yet, one mag left, and the ammo box did not resupply me at all. Got the crunchy sound but nothing.

So afaik ammo boxes don't work AT ALL for rounds, only nades and smoke.
