Weapon Recycle Bug

This a tad obscure, found it last night by complete accident.

I saved a game, about the middle of a fight, when things were going good.

2 seconds later a fired a Teslas, at 80%, on a downed foe, and missed.

Hrm, said I. Well, reload, try that again, I mean 80%, and I needed this hit.

Fire, miss 80% again.

Sxeriously peeved now, I reload a third time. This time I get "Weapon Recycled" and not only could I fire 1 Tesla, I could now fire BOTH!

Curiouser and curiouser.

Reload the save game a few more times, each time letting 1 second pass, eventually the SRM 4's recycled too.


Something weird, here. Either the time to recycle, or the PU's needed to recycle, or both, aren't being loaded correctly from a saved game.

I found a similar problem with the autosave but you are talking about hand made saves, right ?

Can not recreate problem with manual saves. Each time I reload recycle time stays the same. There IS a problem with autosaves though which will be fixed with the patch.

might have been an autosave at that. posted this after being awake for 30+ hours, and probably was not as coherent or as level headed as I usually am.

will have to check, but if you say manual saves aren't affected, then it HAD to be an autosave.

I'm willing to bet that not only were your weapons recycling with each autosave reload, but your heat was dropping, too. That's the bug I was going to report. These bugs would seem to be from the same problem. Glad to know they're already on it.

I can shoot down a sparrow at 300 meters with my eyes closed, and that's on a bad day. Imagine what I'm going to do to you with my eyes open.

Sparrows don't shoot back.
