No-shoot bug, Killing your game?

[KingSix]

I'm really confused by this bug, and it's really, REALLY irritating. There have been many times when i've been lining up the perfect shot, only to click the mouse and get no response. I then sit there spamming, missing all my shots, and get nailed by the guy because he saw the muzzle flash I feel robbed of most of my kills because of this, and there have been many times in close range combat that I have been killed. Is anyone finding this issue REALLY irritating, and is there a possible fix, possibly something to do with mouse sensitivity?

Your thoughts on the matter are appreciated!

Going to get fixed on the next patch, I think. There's no "hot fix" for it, and yes, it's a terrible issue for a FPS to have.

Until there is a real fix, shoot once every time u respawn.

but remember to shoot to the sky or floor...

so many Tks for this...

so many TK's anyway, ****e i got TK'd more by my team today than the enemy in a match, couldn't believe it

but yes, this is stupidly annoying, glad its getting fixed in next patch

I'm lucky.. i very rarely have this bug. In 60 odd hours play i recall having it twice. Its once in a blue moon for me.

I used never get this, but since yesterday it has been about once a round.

Indeed. They seem to have been able to reproduce it thankfully:

But there apparently is a workaround (besides the obvious of firing a shot when spawning, if you remember it):

Tip: Don't click or hold ANY button after being killed until you click the buttons on the spawn screen (the location and ready butons).

There are doznes of topics about that issue (like the one linked by Gudenrath) and yes it sucks, but opening up threads about this without any useful info again and again ain't helping anybody. There is enough room to chatter about it in the other threads.

They seem to finally know what's wrong. Yoshiro gave another hint in another thread:

Almost nothing on this list is "simple and/or easy". But I think there are some good suggestions here.

On that note, we may have nailed down the no fire bug

so it's not a good idea to drop a grenade in spawn? just to make sure i can throw the next one?

Look into the bugsection of this forum. There has been written several messages about this disaster. It will be fixed in the next update.


For me personally i have this too much and every time it costs my virtual live.

This bug kills me especially since I play with LMGs and it does this strange thing that it not only does not fire, but if I've put up the bipod of my LMG it puts it down.
So yeah, it translates "shoot" into "Put your weapon down".

They say they'll fix it and when they do I will be glad.
Granted, this game is getting better and better with each patch, I find, so I have high hopes for the future.
