Weapon Switch
 

I searched and went back 9 pages and didnt see a thing on it.

Weapon Switch happens to me alot (when the weapon switches all by itself). Is it my mouse acting screwy or what? Is there a fix for this cursed thing?!?!?!

haven't heard of that happening since 1.0, maybe it still does on really laggy servers

that happens to me alot on mp only on some servers tho i think its a hack cuz i run up to a guy and start bashing him with a pistol then it switches me to grenade and i cant move/shoot and i die like WTF

ohh ya i got 1.00 biggrin:

that happens all the time in 1.00

upgrade, it's not like it's hard to with the warez. hell i did it.

That shit happens me all the fuckin time. Probably has a lot to do with the fact that the moh\quake 3 netcode sucks more balls than your average female pornstar does in a lifetime.

cough *burnt* wheeze *crack*

It also happens if you have a mouse wheel and have your switch weapon configured to the mouse wheel.

Yeah
 

My weapons switching is configured to my mouse wheel. Sometimes I dont have to move that damn mouse for it to happen. I have the latest patch by the way and it still happens to me all of the time.

It happens to me too. Go into the key config and take the switch weapons off the mouse whell. That will fix everything.

What Strik0r said; it's just an old glitch from 1.0, and I think 1.10 too, but mostly only happens now on real lagged servers.

Well i got 1.11 and happens far to often, i know at times i have deffinatly not touched any other button and i do like others think its lag related....lose the paranoid bit bout hacks....think yer barking up the wrong tree.
(only responding to your comment bout 1.0 strikor )
dooms.

it's the mouse does it with me too ocansionally i just live with it

Thank God someone else has this problem, I asked numerous people about it an no new what the hell i was talking about. I too have the latest patch and it does it when I'm ping 35 with no lag. I too have the wheel assigned to switch weapons, I'll give that a try. Doesn't it seem like it always happens at the worst freaking time.

Can anyone tell me why my sig isnt working.

Happens to me to... But I have noticed that it happens to other players at the same time too! it could be 2 or 20 other players who either drop their weapon, change to pistol, change to nade, change to nade and throw it which killz j00.

Server lag is usually to blame. But it could be another bug which happens rarely. This is v1.11.

P.S.
the code for your sig goes like this

I remember this one... The exact cause for it was never found but it happens when one particular player on the server dies.

For the entire duration that they are in 'dead' mode (Ie, not spectator and not playing, just imobile on the floor waiting to restart) the rest of the server will suddenly lose control of themselves.

This includes laggy movement, or none at all, dropping and switching weapons and firing randomly.

It is a bug that is no longer with us 1.11 users (or so I believe) so to get rid of it upgrade.

Failing that, by pressing TAB (or whatever key you have set to Scoreboard) will clear this bug but only temporarily.

Each and everytime that person dies they will cause this bug until a) They leave the server, or b) The server restarts (that includes a map change).

Next time this happens to you check who last died and then see if they cause it to happen again (upon dying). My only suggestion is to request politely that they leave and come back.

Remember this... Because this bug happens when they are dead they will have no idea they are causing this bug (Indeed I imagine that perhaps at any given time I could have caused it, too, without knowing).

So, don't expect them to cooperate with your requests.

By the way... Upgrade.
