Re: Weapons Not Firing (Sometimes)

If interested, here are some similar posts on Reddit I just found.

My automatic weapons just stop firing : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

Didn't realise gun jamming was added? : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

How come sometimes my gun do a single shot fire even though I'm holding down the shoot button??? : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

[BUG] gun stops shooting despite being in full auto : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

Automatic weapon stops firing mid spray : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

Anyone else having a problem with there weapon only firing one bullet on full auto : r/battlefield2042 (reddit.com)

@Doo-Doo-Draws
Just a thought... could it be that you accidently changed the firing mode from auto to single shot? I've done that before. Since it's the same button as something else, the button is "press" or "hold" down.

Press down changes the weapons firing mode.

So, you may be thinking that you're doing the hold down, but if you did it to quick, it changes to a press down.

Or you maybe accidently hit that button/key while you are firing, changing the fire mode without you planning on using that button/key

Just a thought I had.

@OSpazX No, I'm not accidently hitting any keys. I just played a match not long ago, and while in the RAM, it happened again. I was driving as well. This seems to happen mostly while in vehicles. Any vehicle. It's just an issue with the game, nothing on my end.  Many others have experienced the same issue. Maybe I can get a video sometime to post.

@sk1lld Just did so. I only occasionally visit here and simply overlooked that part of the forum.

Thanks!

@sk1lld Anything's possible, I suppose. But I don't believe it has anything to do with my CPU, or anything to do with my system (specs below). Game runs extremely well with everything maxed out on Ultra settings. And I easily get over 200 fps. Game runs buttery smooth for the most part, just have that no-firing issue once in a while.

I also posted about this on Reddit a while back and there are others who have experienced the same thing, so I'm not alone. And a quick search of Reddit will find many threads about the issue going back over 3 years, so the possibility of it getting fixed now don't look good. That's a shame, too, because this is an extremely annoying issue.

My system specs.

CPU AMD Ryzen 5 7600X
COOLER Noctua NH-U12A Chromax.Black
MOTHERBOARD ASUS ROG Strix B650E-F Gaming WiFi
RAM G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO Series (AMD Expo) 32GB DDR5 6000 CL30-38-38-96
SSD WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X & Samsung SSD 860 EVO 1TB
OS Windows 11 Pro
PSU Corsair RMX Series (2021), RM750x, 750 Watt, Gold
GPU ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4070 Ti
CASE Lian Li LancooL 216 Black (Non RGB)
MONITOR Alienware 38" Curved Gaming Monitor - AW3821DW

I truly appreciate you and all the others trying to help, brother!

Lol well guess it’s not your rig! Wow nice set up. I regularly get dead key inputs, usually R. I’ve had had random misfiring as well. I believe it’s related to the inputs being sent to the server, and that they don’t always get there. Have you been running the graphs for connections? In particular the one that shows your delta tick under the damage log. I think that when that is showing a drop off, it’s also showing when your game talking to the server is being dropped. More on the graphs here if you’re not familiar: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Discussion-Is-it-working-as-intended/m-p/11841926. Anyways I don’t think it’s you, it’s 2042 baby! Live it, love it. (Sigh) 

@ATFGunr All we can do is provide feedback with hopes they'll consider fixing our issues. It can be frustrating for sure, but I still play occasionally. Hopefully the next BF game will shock us all and be a well-polished game upon release. Wouldn't that send shockwaves throughout the BF community! 😃
