Server Issue Stuck on Binoculars vision

[DeKing]

That happend sometime to me..  be stuck with binoculars in Fops after lauched an airstrike, if I move when I look at it. Thinks was on Beg 2 last time. Only issue is to kill myself, or be killed .. 

Do you have the same problem sometimes?

The problem is not intermittent anymore  

 

I found exactly what's happen after lots of try 

 

I'm in binoculars vision, no matter if I lauch an arty or not, just put the 3"# where my weapon is to take it quick, fire with the gun and I'm back and stuck in Binocular vision.

But this time no weapon rolling, I can zoom in or out, launch an arty, still with my 3"# weapon icon on the bottom on screen

 

I think it's between the mouse and the keyboard, maybe that comes from my hardware ( which is wireless... and on both on the same USB port by means of logitech software, a shame for a Gamer I know but I'm just a Noob 😛 )

 

I'm probably too fast 😄 Don't have to problem when I do it slowly .. don't know if there is something to fix it, I gonna try to be careful now with that

This happened when you called an air-strike and kept looking at the strike-area as the explosives 'landed'?

Have you tried changing the key you use for binoculars?

 

Try to switch it, and make sure there is only one key, not 2. See if you still have the issue.

 

Also, just to be clear, you have that problem with Artillery I suppose? Not Airstrikes.

 

 

[DeKing]

Sorry I'm wrong, that's Artillery and not Airstrikes.. 

That's happend just after calling it with binoculars before anything comes to the air.

I'm just walking around with a binocular vision with no way to put it off, not really usefull  

That's don't happens each time so next time I'll try to be more precise.

I don't remember I have change this key before, but I will try to switch it and see

Thank you for the answers !

[DeKing]

I can't edit the last message so I make a new one.. 😕  

That happened again today, in aldernest, Im in Axis and try to call Artillery outside with binocolars.

Just after the "firing for effect" I wanted to change my weapon and here I'm stuck in the vision.

I see weapons switching in the bottom of my screen, I can see if I have the knife or thompson, and when I want to shoot with thompson for exemple, he want to call another Artillery...

I don't change the key yet but there is just one for binoculars, I'll try it tomorow

I wonder if you have some kind of script added to your config file or something bound...

I run ET with Legacy, and I don't have change or added anything in the game config

That not a recurent problem, that just happens sometimes.. 

Not a big issue, but if I'm the only one who have this problem that's strange

Oh, No!  Not a dreaded "intermittent problem"!  

 

It would be hard for you to trigger the problem as a means of finding the cure.  

 

Maybe you could watch a demo of a map where that occurred, but I have my doubts. . .  

 

Not a sticky/stuck keyboard key?  The next time it happens, try lifting and dropping your kb from a short height.  Ah, that scenario does not quit match what you have observed about weapons on your screen.

I think it's absolutely that

 

From a short height you say ? 😄 It's a brand new keyboard, I don't think it's a keyboard problem 

 

I hope that don't come again 

[Cross Marian]

@DeKing You said you got a brand new keyboard. Did you have the problem with your old keyboard too?

 

From what I found, maybe the issue here comes from key jamming/ghosting. It may happen when you press too many different keys of your keyboard at the same time. Especially if the keys are in the same area on your keyboard.

Also, the effect may vary depending on the keyboard used or the brand.

 

I would recommend you to try and select a key far away from the keys you usually use.

 

Since you're french, I suppose you are using an AZERTY keyboard. And you probably use the following keys a lot: Z, Q, S, D  (for directions).

Try to set your binoculars on a key further away from the keys you use the most. So, in this case, I would set binoculars on the B key (for example).

 

Also, if your keyboard has some additional quick keys (if it is a gamer-keyboard), try not to set your binoculars on one of those quick keys.

 

I hope this will work, keep us updated if it doesn't

I didn't notice that happens with the old one. I have a Logitech K800, wireless.. not the best for gaming but that's works.

 

That's really possible than I hit more than one key on the panic to hiding  

 

Yes AZERTY with ZQSD for directions, bincolars are set at "_ \8" key by default, I'll try to put B but that's not really further 

 

Thanks for the answers and I tell you if that happen again

OOOPS!  I did not think of that possibility at all!  I just assumed B for binocs.  DeKing, I did not detect a French accent in your words at all! 😮 

 

 

😄  @ myself 😄

I marked your latest post as "best reply", which moved to right under your first post.

 

I can change the topic-title to give a hint to the solution, if you wish me to.  That might help someone in the future with a similar problem.  

 

 

[DeKing]

Yes I see it thanks, of course you can change it if you want
