Weapon sway solution?

[SniperwolfMR 153]

What weapon has the least amount of annoying horizontal sway? The AKM is absolutely absurd right now when it comes to this bug but I haven't had the chance to test out any other weapons.

 

Hicks posted on twitter that this bug will be fixed on the next experimental patch.... 

 

So next week the current experimental patch will come out on stable, the following week will have the newest experimental patch that will fix the sway...then the FOLLOWING week that will hit stable.

 

So we have to wait close to a month to get this GAME BREAKING bug fixed which is probably just a stupid error in the code? Why the hell wouldn't they just hot fix this sort of thing?

i dont think its gamebreaking, you can play perfectly with that bug. and you can also shoot/kill perfectly with that bug. you just need to now how

SKS has next to no Sway or Recoil really.

I am afraid an Alpha is nothing for you if you consider weapon sway of a single gun gamebreaking..

[TiggyPooh 134]

There is a fix!

 

Create a splint and use it.

This worked for me and I am assuming due to the occasional bumps and bangs with Z's and other objects I may have taken some slight damage to my upper limbs and body that get fixed with the splint.

 

Try it and let me know if that fixed it for you too.

Don't shoot anything past 100m, too unreliable.

 

lmao @ "fixes" posted here and "git gud"

There is a literal way to still be on target with no problems. 

 

@OP: Take aim, it will be swaying.. ignore the sway and focus. Now prior to this you need to have been informed enough to rebind your "hold breath" key to begin with.. so now, hold your breath. Only dont hold it as much as tap it the moment your cross hairs are on target. While you have it held for a second you can take your shot. If you miss, simply let go quickly of the hold breath button, and again quickly press it. You will notice your crosshairs will go right back on target giving you a quick second shot. Never hold your breath for any longer than 1 second or so.. just quick taps. 

 

Now if you use a weapon with heavy recoil that is a different story to deal with it. If your arms's is brokened, that is another. If you need to slow your breathing because you were just sprinting.. well you may be getting it now. ;)

 

Pistols have almost ZERO sway.. you could use those?

Longhorn.

1. Bind 2 keys to hold breath

2. press them both

3. defeat bug with another bug.

It actually makes sense that your weapon sways unless focusing. The thing is heavy and it's well-nigh impossible to hold it perfectly still. Not without a bipod, anyway.

Perfect, just perfect.

[Khanarac 252]

As gr8mghtyp00 said, bind multiple keys to "hold breath" and use them simultaniously. M4 also is almost rarely affected by that bug, probably explaining my high sucessrate, esp vs AKMs.

 

The bug is kinda gamebreaking, i see many people who love the game lose the will to play it. They just fucked with weapons too much. First the shitty zoom, then no impacts, now this. It's unbearable.

 

But most of you fanbois will find excuses for anything. You refused to admit its even a bug, or that it existed in the first place or told me and others that we just had broken arms, esp when I told you that I used two splints. You still refused to believe it or test it yourself. And when you said you tested it, apparently you turned off your critical thinking capabilities. I wonder how you guys find the cause of anything in real life.

 

I grow increasingly bitter about this forum, not about dayz. It's a pile of misinformation and denial. The only reason to get here is the occasional guy with a clue who told me about the double/tripple holdbreath button a week ago.

oh god....tissues need to be implemented...some of you need alot of them from the sound of it...

lol because of a bug in a Alpha ? rofl...maybe they should come back in 1 year ?

 

Also, sway is done reasonably OK in red orchestra 2...eventho ist not as harsh as in RO1 ist still nicely implemented.

 

Alas...you should have alot of sway when raising the weapon after running. Holding your breath is vital too...

Have you even fucking played the fucking game for a fucking hour? It not just a "sway", its some crazy vibration. It's utterly broken. I guess your tissue is stuck in your brain.

 

If devs only heard the likes of you, they'd deliver an utterly broken game, because no matter what, you always find an apology. I'm glad they listen to constructive criticism.

wowowow...hold your horses there Jimmy Rustler....its allready aknowledged as a bug and will be fixed...no need to get worked up over it...*i mostly use the mosin and even with the jitter i can hit Targets....*

 

If you get so worked up about things like that also you might want to drop the game for a while...or maybe take your Ritalin...

Though it is a bit roughly expressed, there's some truth in it. Most stuff that critizes the game, even if it is just input shared or something that can be held in the least as "negative feedback" is denied/raged against and not even allowed to be discussed about.

And since this is an alpha, it’s a bit contradictory that everybody screams “alpha” and “come back in one year” as soon as someone posts criticism or just feedback that isn’t overly positive – an alpha or just anything that is heavily under development needs criticism and feedback and not just positive. So it is actually just for the sake of the game, that not everybody, who says sth negative about it, is immediately shut down.

But that are the fanboys who are pretty blind considering that fact.

It's only noticeable with the mosin with a LRS. I've had no issue with mad sway with the SKS, Mosin or AKM. It jitters yes, but it's easily dealt with. It's barely noticeable on these weapons if using them with 200m.

I have SKS with telescopic sight

I have M4 with ACOG

 

I have no sway on either of these. Zero sway, ROCK STEADY. I have tried to induce sway in all the ways I can think of except breaking an arm or starving. I changed server, I dumped the SKS (it was pre-patch) and found a new one, I stood in the rain till soaked. If I run a lot and then sight I have tiny jerks of the sights, one or two max per second, for only a few moments, then solid steady again.

 

I get the sound effect for the "hold breath" but as I have no sway anyway, there is no effect.

 

Do people who have "the sway bug" get it all the time, or only occasionally ?

Do many other players have NO SWAY at all ?

Only AKM and/or LRS are affected ?

 

edit: in fact I have very slight sway - the vertical crosshair is redrawn from time to time, which equates to a horizontal sway of one pixel left-right. The "hold breath" stops even this for maybe 3 seconds.

By the way...

 

 

Oh and...

 

 

I think the thing is, us "Fanboys" are patient enough to wait and know there's most likely a fix for these so called "game breaking" issues.

To be fair it is not only a single gun. It occurs on most guns. But otherwise I agree with you.
