Guns don't fire - only happens on campaign server

Pull main trigger, nothing happens. Pull group 1 or 2 triggers, guns fire. Only happens on our campaign server. Works everywhere else. Not a keybinding problem obviously.

Every now and then weird things happen. Magic had his guns firing all over the airfield while taxiing last mission. The mission before that, I slammed my outlet shutters open on the apron and went to full throttle instead, providing great entertainment for the rest of the sqn. Bindings we're fine, it seems the game just got confused.

Cheers

Mooch.

This is the 3rd mission in a row where it has acted like this, and it probably killed me this time.

I’ve experienced this during the past few missions. Very frustrating when you have a 109 filling your sights, pull the trigger and nothing happens.

Didn't know BoX simulates jammed guns :D
If that happens only on the campaign server, I would suggest to check the input in Windows USB Gamecontroller while you are in the server (on thrusday) and see if at least Windoof registers your input. Do you run anyting as an Admin other than TacGrab while playing, possible smth you just run while we play in the campaign? I know that can cause issues with not detected joystick inputs.

Unfortunately Thursdays would require me to be skipping work. And no, nothing is running, other than game, TS, tacgrab (not even that this time as I forgot) and recording by shadowplay.

As a last straw:
- check TS bindings, maybe some whisper-list is using the fire button.
- Start BoX and TS as admin

Will check on thursday if I can reproduce this bug on my machine ...

Well the good news is that it worked just fine this time. The bad news is that I didn’t change a thing.
