Auto Firing Guns

Recommended Posts

Occasionally when playing, my gun in a number of differing circumstances will automatically start firing, I have to press fire to stop it firing. I can never replicate it, but these are some incidents where this will happen.

  • Firing the Gun, just generally firing, it will get stuck shooting.
  • Moving items around in the inventory.
  • Exiting the inventory/Pause menu.

I often spawn in punching, or my character will get stuck punching, I think it must be directly related but I can't be sure. I don't use macros of any kind.

 

I have killed my friend a number of times because of this problem, so as you might understand he is always very hesitant to play with me. I can totally understand. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been posted and resolved in the past, I did a brief search, but I honestly couldn't find anything.

I spawn in punching a lot too.  haven't had the gun problem because I don't dual carry.

the gun problem would suck.  it'd aggro all the nearby zombies and alert all nearby players that you were there.  you can solve killing your friend by unloading your gun before server hopping, or not having the gun in your hands.

It's happened once only where I was in the inventory and the gun was on my back, I was moving something out of my inventory onto the ground and I was knocked out of the inventory, the gun went to my hands, it started firing and my friend just dropped. I don't server hop, I only play on 3 different private hive servers. I have bases on them, as a precaution in the event the base gets robbed. I log off with an M4 on my back and one in my hands plus ammo. So exiting the game without a gun in hands is not something I want to do. I already do this currently because it's safer as you say, but this doesn't appear to be a common issue so I am hoping it is something I can find a resolution too.

oh this is a different issue then.  when I get stuck punching it's when I first log into a server.

Yeah, if it was just that I was spawning in punching, well that's always been a thing anyway so I'm not bothered about that, its easily fixed. The shooting glitch is a real problem though. Wastes a load of ammo, damages the gun in the process, gives away my position and worst of all kills friendlies.

I get it too, always have.

I play on old junk computers, my ping is garbage at best, I've had it with other games and it's the mouse not detecting the switches release. 

I always get the log in punching and assume it's detecting the click for connect but disables input before you release the mouse button, a full click, un-click again fixes it.

I can't even use automatic weapons because one out of three times it'll just dump the whole mag from one click.

*edit* In case it's not common knowledge a computer mouse/keyboard does not send a signal the entire time the button is held, it signals once when pressed and the computer waits for the switch to flip back and signal it was released.
