Fire Button Issues.

Post by AlphaDoG »

Hey can anyone tell me why I can fire in a game as long as no opponents are visible? As soon as an opponent comes into view my primary fire button refuses to work.

It's starting to bug the hell out of me.

does this happen in more than one server or just certain ones? Sounds like a server problem to me.

Happens in every server as far as I can tell.

That's wierd. I've had firing issues before but trying a different server usually fixes that for me.

Had that happen too... I removed the joystick drivers and reinstalled, also I had a hardware problem too... soundcard started going.
My new one arrives soon as this one now locks up constantly.

Only would happen to me on Linux servers if my FPS was more than 100

I seem to have a better workout dodging your stupidity than attempting to grasp the weight of your intelligence.

Thanks for the help guys. I'll try removing the drivers and re-installing. I don't think I gotta worry about framerates over 100 though on this POS.

I rarely have framerates under 200 and don't have that problem on fresh linux servers. I have had that problem, but it was on any server that had been running way too long, linux or w32 didn't matter. I would bounce around from incredible rapidfire to not being able to fire at all.

Well, (I'm an idiot) it was the joystick after all. Strange thing is the control panel applet showed it to be working correctly up until I un-installed and re-installed the driver. Once I did that the control panel applet displayed the button to be defective. So a quick trip to exchange the damn thing solved my problems.

Again ty to all who attempted to help me solve this particular problem.
