Am I the only one having this problem?

[hiniberus 122]

At random, the attack button doesn't work at all. Nothing, nada. Just have to log out and hope to the gods I don't get mauled by zeds in the meantime. Any possible fix for this or is it just me o: ?

Happens on and off to my friends and I after the patch last month.

I am also having this issue.
It seems to happen when I have a quick weapon swap and fire/melee. (e.g. suddenly attack while eating)

-  The weapon loads into my hand but will not hit/fire.

- Even swapping weapons does not work, the attack key stops working all together.

 

I have tried different things to try to fix it (e.g. resetting hot keys, dropping and picking up weapon..etc..)  but without success.

So far the only thing I have found that fixes it is to log out of game and log back in.

It'd be cool if they had a bug list for issues like this..... oh, wait.

 

Known issues:

• Player can in rare circumstances enter a state in which they cannot attack and must relog

Happened to me twice, just run out of their range, bandage up then relog.

Bad thing is when u don't really know u are bugged and get into a firefight... A friend of mine died that way, he was bugged, he didn't know that, face to face CQC with another guy and so yeah, my friend died obviously.

Yeah like I mentioned.. only seems to happen to me when I'm eating and get jumped by a Zed.

So it happens when I need it most.

My guess it's from the panic of clicking fire multiple times while swapping to weapon. (I should try to emulate the cause)

Only seems to happen to me when Im freaked out.. ha!

I normally do what Spartacus Rex does, run and re-log.

Funny couple of points to add,

 

When you pickup a weapon someone else was using sometimes you cannot aim properly (The sight does not work and it remains at your hip) until you relog.

 

This also sometimes causes the gun to not be able to shoot or reload until relog.

 

I have also seen a friend with a gun on back on one in hand, he tried to switch them, and for some reason it was glitched and the gun on his back was shooting lol....
