ErichZann 28 Posted February 22, 2015 Please finally fix this bug, it's so annoying, especially now that the wells are fixed and you cant spam drink. What happens to me and my friends, and therefore pro***bly for most people, is that often when we use "drink all" on a bottle or canteen, the animation finishes, but nothing else happens, and we have to "cancel current action". Sometimes it works on the second try, but just had a session where i tried at least ten times, dropped and picked up the bottle in between etc, nothing worked! So please....

wooly-back-jack 294 Posted February 22, 2015 yeah I get this lots, have to cancel action, interact with something else and try again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jacobahalls 80 Posted February 22, 2015 This is a server issue. It usually happens when the server is running slow. Just try to find a better server. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErichZann 28 Posted February 22, 2015 (edited) Well if thats true, why can i use the normal "drink" option fine then? And eat everything fine, use other items fine... only this particular thing doesnt work. Sounds like a bug to me, not only slow server...

odin_lowe 3686 Posted February 22, 2015 Sounds weird. Never had that issue. Since the spamming of drinking been fixed, I always fill my canteen and drink everything from it. I don't seem to get this bug, so it might not be a proper "bug" since not everyone is having it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooly-back-jack 294 Posted February 22, 2015 yes tbh, I think it maybe desync related come to think of it. Normally ties in with not being able to pick stuff up sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErichZann 28 Posted February 22, 2015 Well as I said, some friends of mine sometimes have the same problem (not always though). Might be somehow related to the server, but often everything else works for me, only this doesn't. Has to have some reason i guess... hmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wooly-back-jack 294 Posted February 22, 2015 desync is a funny thing, affects us all in different ways at sometime. You may get the drinking bug, someone in the next town can't pick something up, someone else drops their backpack to exchange for a bigger one and it seemingly disappears etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rags! 1966 Posted February 22, 2015 It's server and desync related. I may have an odd fix, though. I have been told to hold down "W" to walk forwards as the animation is playing out, and it actually seems to work. You can "cheat" the drinking from water sources, though. After you press "Drink" and your character starts the animation, you will notice that you consume the water at the beginning of the animation. Enter your inventory, click on your melee weapon on your back, then press "Cancel current action" and the animation will cease. Then drink again. Then cancel. Spam this over and over...it's not graceful, but it speeds things along greatly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UKA Harrysoon 67 Posted February 23, 2015 Just don't kneel when drinking. Works fine for me if I either start the "drink all" whilst standing or prone, just bugs out when kneeling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
