TheGrudge 09-30-2004, 09:22 PM With these 3 weapons... disc, rifle, grapple... I noticed today that there seems to be a bug when switching weapons that I didn't notice in the beta. Sometime's I'll move a single click with the mousewheel and it will skip the grapple completely. It seems to happen mostly with the grapple, but I think I noticed it with the disc launcher also. It's as if the mousewheel sensativity is too high or something. Not sure exactly.
I'm in the middle of a duel, and I switch from grapple to disc so I can make a quick shot.. then try to go back to grapple. Instead it goes streight to sniper and I'm hanging there like an idiot. I keep trying to switch to grapple and it just keeps skipping it, and I get killed.
Anyone else having this problem?
I like the fact that you can pretty much instantly switch weapons. Great change.
^Jadakiss 09-30-2004, 09:37 PM I stated earlier that I have this problem..so I'll state it again. It is REALLY annoying when I 'intuitively' roll my mouse wheel up to switch to disk, only to select grenade launcher and miss the shot which I know I would of made. This never was a problem in the openbeta/ closed beta...why is it now?
It seems like they fix a bunch of things...but simuntanenously break others things...it's truly a vicious cycle.
TheGrudge 09-30-2004, 09:40 PM I think it has something to do with the change in the weapon switch speed. They wanted to make it faster because that's what people wanted, but maybe they made it like.... .oooo5 too fast or something to the point where it will skip a weapon every so often. It seems random... but happens 70%-80% or the time.
Totally agree, I have been killed numerous times because of this bizzare feeling of lack of control, and yes with the grapple it seems to happen as a problem more so than the other weapons. I try and switch to disc to ma and I ma him with the grapple ;|

lol, that same thing happened to me like I described earlier just now. I was RIGHT BEHIND THE CAPPER chasing him, thought I'd switched to disk (always 1 'click' forward from cg) but i switched to nade launcher. So, I fire the nade and it bounces and kills me lol...so ghey!
Xonze 09-30-2004, 10:40 PM Yeah, I have this problem as well. I get killed sometimes because I go to switch to the disc, and I find myself shooting at the guy with the grappler . . .which doesn't do a whole lot.

Yuk. I use just about every key around edsf. Besides, I'm used to the mousewheel weapon-scroll because I use it that way in every game with the feature. If I changed it... I would keep doing it anyway and get killed a bunch.

This did NOT happen with Beta. Started with MP Demo.
Happens on all servers.
TetraTimboman 10-01-2004, 01:24 AM I use my own ESDF comfit reminiscent of T2's default -I have W set as switch weapon. W works just fine for me, but I only played 3 full maps in the demo right now and so this hasn't happened to me.
SoulBurner 10-02-2004, 05:22 AM Anyone have fix for this ? ;/
btw, is it possible to take mouse settings for beta and use those in demo ?
Sir Lucius 10-02-2004, 11:31 AM I think it does this b/c there is lag.
If you have a very high ping to the server and switch weapons, the weapon on the hud won't update until the server gets back to you. So if you flip through a bunch of times b/c it looks like it's not working, it will do a rapid switch of your weapons.

No. I ping 50 to most servers. There is no lag what so ever. This bug even happens when I play on servers hosted by myself.
KnightMare 10-02-2004, 08:01 PM no its not lag, it does it when I have 20ping and when I host a server.
