1.31 - Inf stuck in one position (e.g.) prone and can't change

[hathcock]

Not sure what causes this. I've had it happen a few times now. I'll be prone, doing something.. then go to change positions or run or do something and I'm stuck prone.

Related to the problem I have OFTEN with shouldering weapon (L key) then not being able to take the weapn back out again (I can change weaps, but not unshoulder and use them)??

[ghostrider]

noticed something similar, if i lower my weapon (L) then change to smoke grenade, I wont be able to change stance and I cant switch back to my rifle until i throw a smoke grenade, even if the little weapon selection icon shows my rifle is in my hands when i press the fire key it will throw a smoke grenade, then i can switch to rifle

If you try to change stance too often you will be locked from changing stance. There is a ticket from a player request to tie this to stamina (ATP) so that there is more feedback to the player.

Can I have a step by step for this please.

Gophur,

I had full stamina, was running to a FB as sapper. I hit L to lower my weapon and ran until maybe 1/8 of my ATP bar was down. When I hit L to raise my weapon, no weapon came up and I couldnt shoot. I could switch weaps, but not use them.

Sometimes after a few min the weap pops back up, sometimes I have to respawn.

Can I have a step by step for this please.

Spawn Infantry ( say British Rifleman ):

1. Hit "L" to lower weapon.

2. Press right mouse button and weapon comes up to aim.

3. Hit "0" (zero) key to bring up binoculars. Display shows binoculars equipped. ( Alternately, select any of the other weapons using the number keys. )

4. Hit "1" to bring up rifle again. Display shows rifle equipped.

5. Press right mouse button and weapon DOES NOT come up to aim.

6. At this point the only way to get out of this lock is to click left mouse button which brings up binoculars ( or fires the weapon selected in step 3 ). Display changes to show binoculars ( or the step 3 weapon) equipped, and this also cancels the weapon lowered state.

This is even after resetting the infantry keymap to "Category Default".

[Edit to add the "alternate weapon" to step 3.]
