Is it just me?

[ld-airgrafix 403]

Last few days im having few issues with gameplay. For example my mellee weapon will go into combat mode when i press space, but when i click to hit a zombie, nothing happens just the sound occurs and zombie doesnt get hit. Usually takes me few weapon switches to get rid of this.

Also the weapon in my hand fires on its own every now and then, so much for sneaking around. Few other little issues that never occured before, but is it only me or are u guys experiencing this as well?

While the melee weapon / space bar issue is usually contributed by lag on the servers end, it sounds like you have a faulty keyboard.  I could be wrong, but I have never experienced the other issues. 

 

Now that I think about it - maybe you are on a heavily lagged server?  If you are trying to hit a zombie, nothing happens - you run away after getting smacked around by the zombie and suddenly your weapon discharges - that can be contributed to lag as well.

 

I have never had my weapon just fire on its own.

Don't have weapon "up", aka space bar active, when you are using melee weapon.  I found that it's much harder to hit things that way.

What he said.

Now that said, next patch I remember hearing you have to have your melee weapon up to use it (correct me if I'm wrong here anyone)

Not sure if I am reading that right, but certainly on the experimental branches you can only swipe with a melee weapon if you have it raised ("up"/spacebar)

Im going to assume some things here..

 

There are 3 different settings for a weapon/item.. 

 

1. weapon/item in hand - lowered

2. weapon item in hand - raised

3. weapon/item in hand - aimed down sights

 

That last one is key. Because if you double tap space bar, it aims down the sights. Now if you get stuck on that setting, just double tap spacebar. While you are in it, it will do the things you have described with a melee weapon. 

 

Now the weapon firing randomly should not happen, unless you are actually holding your weapon and its lowered. If you hit the fire button, it will go off in that situation.

This is correct, but you are meant to be able swing with your melee weapon lowered and it is a known issue that you can't.

I dont think its got anything to do with weapon up or not. Weapon is up and sound of hitting works fine, problem is animation.

Anyone else have their weapon go off for no reason?
