Weapon reload stuck in a loop if beaconed while reloading

TomD22 · March 2013

As the title says really. If I am beaconed in the middle of a rifle reload animation, the animation gets stuck in a loop and I cannot shoot. Pressing reload again doesn't stop it. Switching weapon and switching back again does.

This has happened to me a couple of times, including today which prompted me to post. Can't find this bug reported before with a forum search.

I do remember a similar report, but it was pretty much in need of reproduction.
If you can reproduce this error, be sure to let them know

This bug does not exist in our lists anywhere, and ontop of that 3 PTs tried reproducing this including myself, and we came up with nothing.
So was there any mods running on your server or client?

I also have had this error (playing while on descent) after being baconed back to base. I just found it quite funny reloading while not being able to do anything while being chased around the base by skulks and fades. But it has only happened once and I had been unable to reproduce it (hence why I did not post before). No mods running server or client side

Cool, thanks.
If you find any way to reliably reproduce this (even if its difficult) please post it here.
And thanks again for the report

I've had this one too. I was about to get beaconed but obs was destroyed.

I've had this before, but had no idea what produced it, this may be it.

What happens is the gun gets stuck reloading but the animation doesn't continue, and you can't fire or reload (your current ammo will be frozen on the clip too)

But switching the weapon then switching back allows you to reload again
