JoeDaddy92 15 Posted August 29, 2012 Anyone else having any problems getting flashlights to work? I spawned into a dark server and tried to use the one on my G17, military, and standard ones but they wouldn't work. Only way I could light up was by throwing flares/chemlights.

ElectroLlama 4 Posted August 29, 2012 I've noticed that even after hitting "L" to turn it on, you have to move around for it to activate for some reason.That, or you spawned with a fleshlight instead. That does not light up. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
calzonius the friendly 2 Posted August 29, 2012 I had some problems getting my flashlight to work last night. Shortly after spawning on a night server I tried using it, but it would take 3 or 4 times pressing L before it would turn on.I wasn't lagging any more than I usually do, either.

JoeDaddy92 15 Posted August 29, 2012 I was doing everything short of rolling on the ground flailing around and couldn't get it to come on. was about to make my guy run into a wall and see if he could hit a loose connection or something lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goodrita 27 Posted August 29, 2012 The same thing was happening to me a few days ago. I had to hit L multiple times to get it to turn on. I thought it was an issue with my keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert Shannon 27 Posted August 29, 2012 Do not use a flash light, even when you feel no one is anywere near you. 98% of the time when someone has their flasjlight equiped they get shot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thadeum 103 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) There seem to be a recent issue, some servers I was playing on at night were extremely laggy (I suppose it's the client-side game who was laggy) and the flashlight worked terribly, zombies were not chasing or not spawning, and overall the game was not playable.

JoeDaddy92 15 Posted August 29, 2012 Lately, a lot of the servers I've been joining are pushing 10-20 FPS. I know with Vsync turned off, on a good server I'm pushing 80 FPS on normal settings so I think that if servers aren't set to reset frequently, it does something server side to affect the framerate in general on the server. But that's just me :PJoeDaddy92 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raged 187 Posted August 29, 2012 I haven't been able to get the standard to turn on either. No problems with the military though. Servers black as night, damn you flashlight! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
