Gunner Issue/Bug

[Buc]

Ive had this glitch since the release of the game.

Issue:
As a gunner switching from cannon to TV guide with right mouse click, the Button registers on press and release causing the screen to flicker from TV guide back to cannon and then back to TV guide. It happens fast but its so dam annoying and has always made me very ineffective with TV guided rockets.

It only does this in Multiplayer...single works flawlessly with the same config. Google has been no help. Has any else had this issue or know of a way to solve it? Ive tried to use Keys to switch it as well as a Sidewider Stick....all results in the same.

Mouse: MX500 with Logitech latest drivers
Sidewider Stick: does the same thing as with Mouse.

Check your mouse utilities or settings in Control Panel. Make sure you don't have any auto double-click feature or that your double-click speed is low enough to distinguish two separate clicks.

I have bro, this is happening with any device I use....keyboard - flight stick - mouse....

Ive even reinstalled the game trying to fix the issue
It does not do this in single player mode or when I host a multiplayer server....this alone baffles me to no end. Even on a fast empty server the problem occurs.

Sounds like the same issue when you're using iron sights/scope. You want to turn them off, but it flips you right back to zoom. I find this most annoying, especially when it happens on the last shot and I'm stuck in zoom until I can finish reloading (which has gotten me killed SEVERAL times).

Re: Gunner Issue/Bug

Try changing your ironsights and heli weapon change to a different button for a bit. If the other button doesn't have the same effect, change it back to Mouse2. If changing to another button has the same "snap back" effect, you may have an error. I suggest ScanDisk.

Everyone has this 'error' when switching to tv or back... Perhaps some never noticed it, but it's there...

I do think though, that the faster yuor computer is, the less noticable it is...

Re: Gunner Issue/Bug

a bit off topic..but ur vid just reminded me of the way the tv guided screen is supposed to be wavy and somewhat blurred..mine doesnt do that anymore (but it did in like 1.12 or whenever it was first released)

It obviously has to do with ping then...
Your client instantly responds to your mouse click, but it has to be verifeid by the server as well which takes a 'ping' amount of time...
Hosting gives you a ping of 0, as do single player games...

This is what couses it I believe... The verification of the server...

One thing I learned from experience, is that friends don't always perform the right task...
I bet they hosted a server, (local server) or tried single player, or did not try at all and just said they did not have it or they misunderstood your question...
