1.32.6.255 Damage or despawn forces primary weapon or stance

[binky]

If you have an alternate weapon or stance selected, you revert to standing and primary weapon when taking damage. Also occurs upon hitting escape or despawn.

1. Spawn ATR

2. Select pistol

3. Go prone

4. Hit esc

Upon hitting esc you will automatically stand and switch to the ATR rifle.

Also happens in combat when you take any damage.

I can vouch for the standing when despawning, got meh kilt.

[GOPHUR]

great report thanks binky.

Twice now, I've had my avatar stand up from prone position when damaged, but not killed. Once I was in a spawn building and once on a berm. I don't know if it's some sort of terrain issue.

edit:Looks like this is also mentioned in the bug about standing up when ESC is pressed:

I had mine stand up when a message appeared.

[erthel]

I had my LMG undeployed after damaged, so I could not shot back and end dead :S. Seems related.

[lando]

I will be in a prone position in a great ambush spot. Someone issues an order and I stand up. BAMMMMMMM Im dead. Same thing when I spawn out, I get shot while despawning. Is this something that has been added as some sort of benefit? Or is it a bug?

[Lexfire]

Avatar wil come to the standing position everytime the mission leader on mission changes no matter the position I am in at time.

[vert0]

Ive noticed alot of standing.. when i hit esc to despawn and when I get shot and it dosnt kill me

[erthel]

Also happened to me using commands. Prone down behind a rock to call a .allied and suddenly my character arises and gets riped by a LMG.

[sgtfury]

Happened to me also last night.

[adambomb]

Same problem, when escaping your trooper stands up waiting to be shot.

[mile]

ive noticed th eopposite, when i am standing and i hit esc i lie down.

the only thing i have noticed with change of mission leader / order. is that if i have a lmg deployed a change of order will un-deploy it, which is a problem if i am firing it.

All of these are the same bug I bet. Certain events are triggering a random? change in the position.

[speed]

Please we need this fixed ASAP..was hurt,avatar stood up..ET finished me standing...WTF?

RATS?? Like yesterday...

S!

Speed

[jfrog]

Mine kept standing on despawn.

[cato12]

yep noticed this as well. not really what you want to be hapnin when your lyin in a bush tryin to ambush someone.

[av8]

Had a bomb explode near me, didn't kill me but made me stand up.

Also standing when missions leader changed or issued orders.

[gvonpaul]

I believe I was damaged also

[speed]

This is a MAJOR issue....anyone from RAT HQ? needs full attention..breaks game feature...

denies my playtime factor....??????

HELLOW????????

[binky]

Still standing when taking damage.

1. Spawn in as inf at a depot

2. Switch to secondary weapon

3. Crouch

4. Walk off roof of spawn and fall to ground

Upon taking damage you will switch to weapon #1 and stand up.

PITA when prone and take a plink from enemy fire in battle.

[geeezer]

I was knicked by shell fire on tree and game stands me up so ET can mg me ??

Also stand up to get shot when I receive new orders.

[romzburg]

CRS, take a year off, and re-write everything from the ground up. We'll wait.

There is some weird crap going on, and it *must* by from using chewing gum and baling wire to strap together pieces of code that never expected to have to work together.

I can't even begin to imagine how the "stand" state is being invoked by these things.

A couple of you may need to sell your Maseratis for a year's worth of grocery & beer money, and you may need to move in together to save on rent, but if you hunker down and go at it for just one year, I think you can do it.

And you might as well put in high res terrain while you're at it.

Mark, set, go.

Ya know, at first Romsburg, you rubbed me the wrong way and I wasn't a fan. But over the past 12 months, you have really grown on me. You're precise, well spoken and although you are sometimes a little harsh, you are most often correct and in proper context with your responses.

indeed he's one of the few voices of common sense on these forums

If you're going to argue with Romz, do your homework before you post. He gets it, and you can't teach common sense, you have to be born with it.

I can't say [any]thing else [than] that the ban was justified considering that you have an 'impressive' TOS history....

[jar644]

Causes of the "stand up" bug I saw tonight when in the prone position:

- Pressing "Cancel" on despawn dialog. (Did not happen when pressing ESC.)

- When new orders were issued during a mission. (Not as mission leader.)

- Explosion nearby.

Also saw a case where my primary weapon changed to another weapon when the stand up bug occured.

EDIT: I forgot that I also had an LMG undeploy when mission leader changed.

Same thing only no weapon change.

Axis side, weapon : lmg

- lying prone

- taking hit

- character goes from prone to stance
