Nothing to see here, move along forum citizens

[Aotearas]

So, just had a game in my Khabarovsk and the game just randomly decided I'm not allowed to use my guns for a couple minutes.

 

 

I literally couldn't aim, because the game would refuse to enter the aiming zoom and the guns were locked in position (and no, I had NOT locked them on bearing, I even double, triple and quadruple checked that as I was spamming the CTRL+X combination in an effort to unlock my bloody guns again).

 

So I was reducing to being a XP and credits pinata to the enemy team for a while (naturally since my team was being stupid, I had gone to where my help as actually needed, ergo right in the thick of it ... great timing for the *edited* GUNS TO NOT WORK ON A GUNBOAT) until the game just as randomly decided to allow me to aim and use my guns again.

 

I don't think I need to elaborate any more as to why I'm absolutely livid with frustration right now and why this bug/glitch/working as intended™ whatever gets FIXED so it doesn't randomly render the game as good as UNPLAYABLE!!!

 

 

Here's the replay for whomever is actually interested:

20170917_151457_PRSD110-Pr-24-Khabarovsk_44_Path_warrior.wowsreplay

 

What the replay isn't showing is how the guns are locked in position, but the results can clearly seen when I intermittently shoot and the shells go in different directions from where the guns in the replay are pointing to.

Do please forward this to whomever at the QA department isn't currently inebriated and see if something about this gamebreaking error can be done.

 

Kthxfixyoursh*t

I guess you used chat?

 

I have the same since last patch, but it always fixed itself with some switcing ammo constantly and just shooting in whatever direction they point. After that I can suddenly use shift again to zoom in and aim normally.

This happens very often. Right mouseclick works for me. 

[BrusilovX]

So, when does this start to happen in the battle?

Use chat, with chat open try to fire your guns or something ( it is something you do with chat open so while you can type messages ). You'll notice that you suddenly can't aim your guns, it's like you're constantly holding right mouse button when you're not doing so. 

[ClappingLollies]

Complete random.

No, it ALWAYS involves using chat ( or well it does for me ).

OK, if you've got the chat open and you're going to send a message all commands you enter will appear as text in the chat window.  I would not expect anything else.

There was a previous bug where using chat froze entire CV UI. This isn't about the textbox having focus ( or maybe it does.. ) but with the fact that it locks out normal control over your turrets even after you closed the chat window.

 It goes both ways too. IVe had it a few, maybe 2 or 3 times, that I cant send send messages anymore (and before any one tries to be smart: no , i wasnt chatbanned ) The Chat seems still active but I cant type. I cant look at the Tab-stats either. This one i wasnt able to get rid of tho until the end of the round.

That is not what happened however.

[mtm78]

I know, it's what happened with me yesterday and the day before  

 

Similarity is just not being able to control / aim your guns. 

[NavyfieldRedsky]

So this has clearly been going on for a while, and WG have decided not to fix it apparently. Just like the others I used chat, had my guns locked before that, and now suddenly my guns and torps were permalocked. Here's an idea, WG: Maybe fix your crap?

This was reported a LONG TIME ago, and I just died in a CB match thanks to their shitty coding.

[pzkpfwv1d]

This has been ongoing since at least the first season of clan battles, you either have no chat or no control whatsoever over guns or rudder commands etc, it has been reported to the customer services and they say there is nothing wrong.  It only happens occasionally now but in first season of clan wars it was more prevalent 

[NavyfieldRedsky]

Yeah, WG are only interested in getting money, not fixing their broken, EDIT code. I guess milking their playerbase is simply easier than fixing their mess.

I have been reporting the silent plane bug on cvs since 10!!! versions ago and nobody does anything about that. So, no wonder this bug wasn't fixed in an entire year.

What he said, your view is in spectating mode (free view), just right mouseclick once.

 

Some of you guyz are not new arround here.

[Hades_warrior]

I got this same problem few days ago. I thought my mouse is dying and I need to buy a new one. In middle of battle my Conqueror could not aim, so I quickly unplug mouse USB and plug in back and it was working back...

[ZoidFile]

I had the very same problem tonight with my Iowa, the guns were locked in place and I could not zoom in any more. Neither Shift nor the mouse button did work. The cam just stuck somewhere behind the ship. The first time that ever happened to me, weird.

I had this happen to me a few times ever since release. Every 1-2 months or so there'd be a game like that.

Sometimes it happened in the middle of a brawl and I would die because of it.

 

But since this game is so [edited]riddled with worse bugs (like - client crashing windows every 5-6 games for the first 2 years of the game)

I didnt give much of a crap for such a "minor" bug.

 

If it was any other company such a thing would get fixed. 

But WG?  Naaaaah who am I kidding?

 

Fortunately the life expectancy of WoWs seems to be headed for the toilet anyway, so the bug will soon cease to be a problem 

[Guillotine]

After i had to play 50 extra games in ranked cuz that bug f***ed up easy win game to R1 in latest T6 season i havent used ctrl+X lock. 

[159Hunter]

Had the bug maybe 5 times over all my games, only thing that worked was quit the game and restart (and pray that you're still alive when you reload).

[Aotearas]

Dat necro tho ...

[loppantorkel]

Had exactly the same issue the other day. Hadn't seen it before.

Oh, the irony.

 

As for the issue, I've not noticed it recently. I also agree with the notion that creating a new thread would be better because:

1. Even though the symptoms are the same, the actual bug/error/"feature" might be different. The replay in question might not even be representative of the new situation.
2. A lot of the posts in the old thread is outdated and contribute very little with regards to a possible solution.
3. Potential discussion will be hampered by the fact that the first post is over a year old and people will just relegate the new addition to a "pointless resurrection post".
4. You get a lot of "lol noob, just do X" replies to old posts.
