For the last week, when im in the middle of a match i pressed the left mouse button and my weapon did not fire, i pressed the right mouse button and my alternate weapon didnt fire.

It fixed itself after i died but maybe 1 minute after respawn my weapons were not firing again

i plugged in another mouse and played another match and my weapons again did not fire

i then plugged in yet another mouse and and again it did not fire my weapons

has anyone experienced this? has anyone fixed this

Does this bug appear in every game type and in every match? Can you please add (and format) the information required for a bug report as described over here: https://community.pl...t-a-bug-report/ ? :)

Um... need more information, follow ReEvolve's suggestion and format as a bug report, but if you want forumites to hash this out, describe what happened in more detail (ie approximate time duration, time delays between weapons being able to fire to suddenly not being able to fire, the age of your computer [I don't think it's old, but an age would be good], and if this left-right mouse thing persisted outside the game or if it was occurring only in game [sounds like it was only in the game, but it would be good to have some clarity rather than running off implied information])

"Or maybe we'll just have to go through you"

=======
SUMMARY
=======
weapons do not fire in a game of Siege


==================
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
==================

1- Login to Hawken
2- Click Play
3- Select Siege
4- Select a mech ( i have 3 mechs in my account, it does not matter which one i choose, it happens will all of them)
5- Click to Deploy and join the match
a- either an inprogress game or a game thats just starting, the issue happens all the same
6- Once in the game, click the Left and Right mouse button, weapons will fire for the first +/-30 seconds, what i mean by this is

intermittent shooting... fire a burst then wait for 1 to 3 seconds and then fire again, im not sitting there holding down the mouse

button for 30 seconds, my weapons ARE NOT OVERHEATED
7- sometimes i can go further than the "30 second window", one thing i notice and tried is this
1) I see an enemy in the distance
2) I do NOT put the reticle on him, and i fire my main and secondary weapon at the air in front of me, just to test....my weapons

DO fire
3) As soon as i put the reticle on the enemy, my weapons STOP FIRING... i press my mouse buttons and nothing, i switched mouse

and same result, weapons DO NOT FIRE... and my weapons ARE NOT OVERHEATED
4) my weapons will not fire again until i die or an undetermined amount of time has passed


NOTE
----
One thing i tried the last time when my weapons did not fire was this:

i moved the mouse so my mech is looking straight up at the sky or directly at the ground in my feet  and cant look up or down any

further and then i fire my primary and secondary weapons, for some reason my weapons fire again after i do this

then return the view to normal in front of me and i can fire for a while until either anamount of time passes by, usually between 10

and 30 seconds "OR" if i put my reticle on an enemy and press to fire my weapons will not fire ... after I get killed (obviously

since i cant fire) i respawn and if i fire at the same emeny within the time window i CAN fire at the SAME enemy that killed me...

until the 10 to 30 seconds pass by or i target yet another enemy


=========
FREQUENCY
=========

everytime, every match i play, i only play Siege so i dont know how other game modes are affected

I've seen glitches like this before in other games, its possible the ssd had something to do with changing the number value of your facing/rot floats stored in your documents/game profile erasing it to start fresh might help?

having those values out of whack can have the weapons thinking your lookin too far up/down so they dont shoot
and in another game i've seen the temporary fix for this is simply to look far up/down as you noticed
a fresh install may not have reset the documents files
and sorry for double post hit wrong button

Long Story Short:
  • +/- 30 seconds after i join a game of Siege, my weapons will not fire
  • Sometimes when i put the reticle on an enemy and click to fire, the weapons wont fire
  • my weapons are NOT overheated... you have to fire your weapons first which i really cant do
  • if i look up straight up into the sky or straight into the ground, the issue seems to fix itself... until the +/1 30 seconds go by or sometimes when i target an enemy the issue returns

im not the only one:

My SAARE Launcher is the only weapon that misfires for me.
I'm not even playing this sh_t anymore anyway, so I don't care.
