The reload bug is still there.

When you hit reload nothing happens, and now you cannot drop your weapon or change to another weapon.


yup, can't reload, can't drop, can't change and can't run.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but all you need to do to fix that is hit your action key.
Glad you said it was a joke. Well, it sure is nice to see how many people you offend when you talk smack about WCSE, lol.


OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
I think WCSE should be the only map on the rotation



or



These emoticons are the best !!!

can we have one for :n00b:
I don't know where you guys are getting YOUR information but according to Tracker, pipeline is the most played map, almost 3 times as much as WCSE.

Some bugs i've found not listed yet.

-sometimes when you shoot a 203 at the vents in pipeline when assaulting and covering the 203 will go THROUGH the closed vent *note this dont happen often but it does happen.

-When Taking objectives sometimes it will stop for no reason and you will have to start over i've had it on Insurgent camp where i wasn't able to take objective someone else had to, and no i wasnt a retard and letting go of my button it was held down its a bug...some of my squad members had the same problem.

-More than ever now you will not be able to run...Yes i know this is fixable by throwing down weapon or sometimes pressing action key (dont work now)...but ya it's really annoying.

-Shadows not only go through walls they go through ceilings too you can see people walking on CPU roof of pipeline, I HOPE TO god they fix this with a quick fix and not let a WHOLE 3 months go by without a fix to this...this is the worst thing in the patch in my eyes i mean this is basically like EvilHack in a way...I could only imagine this in an Intense TWL match where you think your hidden or forget bout the shadows or whatever and the other team just goes "OH lookie there he is a shadow through the wall" and they just go firing around the corner at you, you have no chance.
A weird one I found

If you lie down next to a slope or cliff ( I tried on MP SE on NE corner cliff ) and roll off the edge side on you will slowly decent down the hill and when you get to the bottom you live, someone said it could be a feature, pifft ... yeah! sounds like a feature allright!

When u nade the middle arch on bridge/bSE and look through the car window (on assault, donnow about defense) u can see through the smoke.

If u use the bino's to zoom in and switch back to gun while still zoomed in you are still in the zoomed in mode

(haven't experienced these myself)

Nope, hitting your action key will do nothing.
Jump+reload will reload whenever I get that. Still quite annoying. Just pick up another gun or trade it
I don't know if jump+reload works for me but the problem was that you cannot trade the gun or do anything.
I think there is a medic bug too.
When you are yellow and calls for a medic then BECAUSE he heals you, you turn red.

Edit: you do not turn red every time of course.

Probably not a bug but just a matter of timing If you're at the edge then it can just turn red as you're getting healed...
Medic bug, when start to heal a guy and he go away before
its done, the medic is freezed until he comes back...

IC somtime i start with burst and sometimes with full auto
in regular m16

IC some gets colorfull weapons?

In wc you trow away your gun its a diffrent gun, when pickup its the same as you had..

This was also in 1.7
Some users with ATI Radion video cards, have a major bug with shadows. A box will be around the feet of every player. Allowing the user to follow players with out them being in sight. Through doors, walls, and in the room above you. Simalar to the shadows through wall's.

Hear is a screen shot of this.

This is a major problem, 2 of my clan members suffer from this bug.

Lighten up that pic, I cant see it.
Sorry not my editing. The screenshot is to dark, and hard to see the box. This bug was not noticed upon first install of 1.9. Only after the gamma and brightnes were turned up.
they will not be able to fix the shadow bug....why you ask? the same reason that they cannot stop the smoke from going through walls. it would slow your framerates to a crawl. sorry to be bring the bad news.

is that answer from yourself? or from a dev? upon what knowledge are you getting this from? or are you assuming that the way smoke and shadows are generated are the same?

how bout dynamic lighting? how come dynamic lighting is programmed to stop at a wall? dont you think the same effects could be implemented to shadws?

btw, there is a function to disable shadows if it eats up fps. is there a function to disable smoke? apparently not.
the shadow bug doesnt seem to bother me. i never pay attention to the walls. let alone a shadow comin through it. you people will live. dont worry about the bug theyll fix it. if it bothers you that much, do what insomniak says and turn off shadows altogether.
