:cry: while playing engineer, using the shot gun,I have this problem while playing multiplayer.
My guy just goes into slo-mo.Everyone else is normal,I then get lit up cause I cant move so Quick. I switch weapons and Im back to normal...
Has happened on just about every server ive been on.
Havent had problem with the other classes yet,cause I dont playem much

I run 65fps avg with all settings wide open and a res 1600x1200
like to hear from anyone else who might have delt with this!

Re: Slow Motion Man

internet lag?

Re: Slow Motion Man

This is going to sound really dumb, but have you tried clicking the right mouse button to exit zoom mode? I ask this really dumb question, because you specify the shotgun which can look almost no different in normal and zoomed, so it could be hard to tell. And yes, I've done this once or twice.

Re: Slow Motion Man

No thats not dumb! somtimes I will miss the obvious,but in this case its not that simple. Thank you 4 your reply!

Re: Slow Motion Man

I've had this problem a few times, also had it where I can't move at all. Sometimes a death fixes it, other times I need to reconnect to the server.

could be?

Re: Slow Motion Man

Nah its not lag. I've had it while swimming and someone else has been swimming circles around me at normal speed. Plus I've seen it happen to others. It is a genuine bug.

Re: Slow Motion Man

yeah this has happened to me as well!

Re: Slow Motion Man

I think it maybe a certain combination of buttons pushed at the same time.
I never had this happen since 1.03 but then again I probably just did not push the buttons to make this happen.
The only way to describe this to people who never experienced this is that it's like being zoomed or a slow walk that ya just can't get out of.

Re: Slow Motion Man

I get this often when I play wake. Im USMC, team members take JSF and helis, so I jump off to get boat, and land feet away from boat. I swim to he boat, but really slowly. I am usually sniper, so I know im not zoomed. It could just be lag (there must be enough to occupy all air assets).

Re: Slow Motion Man

It happens alot when you jump from pretty high into the water without a chute, or if you halo drop into the water..

You will start swimming extremely slow and it doesn't matter if you sprint or not.

its because your scope is zoomed in.

Re: Slow Motion Man

It's because you've zoomed in. I've done this a few times. Not a bug at all.

edit...wow, this thread is old. disregard this. The bug section is dead...
