G17 flashlight problem

[DVBS117 0]

Ok when I was playing with my group on a public server last night I tried to turn on my flashlight on my g17 and it would not go on. I tried reloading the g17 with ammo and without then pressing L. Does anyone know how to fix this or having the same problem?

It´s a bug. After a relog it should work

Or drop it and pick it up again.

I have found that when I was crouched I could not turn on the flash light or turn on the flash light on the G17. I had to stand up then it would come on.

Flashlights and weapons w/ flashlights are buggy for me too. All I've ever had to do was switch weapons with the scroll wheel and reselect it.

Do you guys have multiple bindings to your L key? I have never had a problem turning a flashlight or a g17 on/off.

No I have only messed with a few bindings, none of which were the "L" key. I have problems with my char occasionally lowering his weapon for no apparent reason when I change stances (as if I've double pressed "control") - around the time I have that happen is usually when the flashlight/weapon light doesn't work.

All in all, not that big of a deal though. Like I said, I usually just switch weapons then switch back and that clears it up.

This is the case.

If it seems your light is not turning on, stand up and start walking. Then turn on your light.
