<div class="IPBDescription">Never happened to me before 229, where it was supposedly fixed?</div>So I was playing a few rounds last night, and I noticed that my pistlol wouldnt fire.
I checked ammo, ammo was good pistol was loaded.
Couldnt shoot.


This had not happened before to me, in fact, I was ignorant to the existance of said bug until I saw the patch notes and updated.
the bug happens after I reload, when i switch to the pistol I can shoot fine, once I reload, I cant fire anymore.
I have to switch back to the rifle or axe and back to the pistol, this is not good at all.

Any idea how this could happen? the bug was supposedly fixed, I had never experience it until it was "fixed"

something weird is going on.

    I've experienced it before the patch numerous times, though not enough to be considered game breaking or anything like that. I haven't run into it yet after the patch but I haven't been playing much so that could be just dumb luck on my end.

    I played 2 maps or so last night (each map consisted of 2 rounds) and it happened on all of them. no exception :(

    <b>DamDSx</b>, someone had suggested to delete entire NS2, and make a clean install of the 229 build.

    Sigh, thanks. thats hardly a solution, but ill take what I can get

    It boggles my mind how the bug has been around since last build, I never experienced it, and now that the patch notes say it was fixed, I get it and I get it hard.

    It really, really boggles my mind. my mind is a pulp right now. how is that even possible???

    That doesn't fix it. I've played a few rounds and never had it happen. But I've also played rounds where it happens a few times at least...

    This bug has been an enigma to be honest, it is so randomly triggered that it's hard to track down for the devs what is causing it... Usually when multiple keys are pressed to do the magic marine dance around he Skulks

    <!--coloro:#2E8B57--><span style="color:#2E8B57"><!--/coloro-->So, to add a dynamic to this, something <b>very</b> similar has happened to me and may or may not be the same thing you guys are experiencing. This could possibly, only be a client side visual bug. For example, the one and only occasion this happened, was when I was involved in close combat and jumping around a couple skulks (as Kouji_San has stated). When I went to reload, nothing happened and no animation. Without a hitch, I used muscle memory on reload time and continued to fire, still with no animation. I killed one of the skulks while having no animation of the pistol, although I cannot verify that there was blood, just that I got the kill ... with the pistol.

    After all was said and done, the animation finally kicked in and performed the reload.<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc-->

    This "Bug" Has happened to me as well. When I switch to Rifle then back to Pistol it works fine again until the ammo runs out or I reload. Then it wont fire again until I switch to another weapon and then back again.
