DUST Search - Most sniper rifles are reloading EARLY by themselves. FIXED! Verified KR.

Even the three round clips are reloading with only one or two rounds fired. I haven't actually emptied a clip in two days.

Getting old, Devs. Why use the three shot when it acts like a single shot? To get a three shot I have to use my five shots. More than three, well there aren't clips big enough in this game to get there. Technically, I have tested every Sniper Rifle I have. Which with the wipe is not all of them like I used to have (sobs). But they are all acting up. Even with a fresh restart of the game. See other post regarding dropped to Quarters as to why the game was restarted.

I have unplugged the keyboard. Rechecked that it was indeed unplugged. Verified that no other controller or device was plugged into the PS3. My controller is less than a week old. The batteries are charged and it the failure mode happens even when attached via USB cable.

Any action causes the reload. Drop out of scope, stand up, squat down and there aren't many actions left one can do.

Well, one's frustration can build. That is progressing marvelously.

My 5-round clip has been reloading itself after 3 shots quite a lot I noticed too. It's irritating as hell as a sniper.

So, unfortunately, my server debugging skills are lacking. I was hoping it was tied to the server screw up yesterday. Haven't had a chance to check the Charge for five rounds yet, just equipped it for a few minutes or so. Please, fix this! Makes snipers grumpy. Have to use Forge Gun to put smile back on my face.

Never. I think that shooting slowly might work better. Or, shooting quickly makes it worse. Which ever way you like to phrase it. But I haven't been able to verify it to my satisfaction as yet. Periods indicate a pause and the hyphen indicates shooting quickly. Which doesn't help with the Charge cause that sucker is slow no matter what. Farsight - within the last three hours. Currently 18:30 GMT. L1 held, R1 pressed. No other buttons touched. One. Two. Three. Four - immediate reload. No time to press R1. One. Two-Three-reloads. One-Two-Three-reloads. Testing it got me killed. The second Merc didn't go down and found me. Should have been testing at a rock. I still suspect it is input stack related. My Fat PS3 has had nothing but trouble with Dust and the input stack. What do I know? It could be server side since my AR has been acting up recently and never did before. New PS3 game controller, fully charged or connected with USB. No difference. No other input devices. Keyboard is only plugged in outside of matches for email. Triton 720 USB/Digital Audio headset. With or using digital audio only to stereo makes no difference. Hope you find this or get me a seven round clip.

A bug, two bug, three bugs in one were fixed with a hot fix. Trust me, thirty years of hot fixes did not leave a good feeling in the pit of my stomach when I hear that phrase. I stand corrected. Charge Sniper Rifle works correctly now. If you look slowly, the graphic is climbing up from empty while doing the reload. So it looks like it didn't empty but keep watching and it continues to the full five round clip. The total ammo drops by five and all the numbers add up. The Farsight Sniper Rifle works as well. You can take then down to one round and hold it. Hold the Charge or hit L1, release L1 for the Farsight and they both work as expected. And as they did before. Being a Sniper just got a lot safer. Tested between 09:00 GMT to 09:35 GMT.
