[New gearwheel misbehaves]

Another issue here is gearwheel keybindings messing up. This happens due to an odd behavior where gearwheel items shift counterclockwise whenever an item in the preceding slot is depleted. Let's say I have energy and health restore items occupying slots 1 and 2 respectively, they are bound to keys Num1 and Num2 for quick access. So when I use up all my energy restores, next time I press Num1 it pops a health restore item! Why? because new system thinks that if you no longer have those items that the slot was bound to, it can no longer keep that binding and consider that slot now to be unbound, and the system can not allow for empty slot sitting on gearwheel. So it moves all items from the following slots 1 slot counterclockwise. Needless to say, it destroys all the gear keybindings.  Now if you try to pop out the scanner - you get (as in my case) "starburst" of fireworks to commemorate the awesome moment of failure 😄

Also, to restore an order in the galaxy, you'd need to completely rebuild entire gearwheel from the scratch, you can't just insert an item into a slot and have the following items shift up (clockwise) and preserve the sequence of items. Does this sound scary enough? Every time you run out of any (important) gear item you'd have to manually repopulate every single slot in gearwheel from the scratch!

I just figured that a workaround for that particular problem with the scanner binding would be to place the scanner in slot 1 so it stays there, since I got infinite scanner with sol battery widget installed. But what if you don't have sol battery?

[Sniper Rifle Rework [U18 Megathread]]

After all the constructive feedback from players - the reaction from DE only reminds me of this:

Guys, just go and talk to people (aren't they the same DIGITAL EXTREMES) who developed UNREAL TOURNAMENT - ask for their help!!

[Weapons Stop Working]

This exact same thing definitely happens to me, often enough to bother me.

Here I was thinking it's my mouse software playing up, but reading OP it's clear the issue is within the game itself.

Unfortunately I can't say what exact circumstances are causing this bug, but switching back and forth helps to resolve.

I have noticed that it may be something with using quick melee while reloading your weapon, and suddenly it stops working, like if it got stuck mid reloading process and can't fire until reload is finished.

 

I think there is no need to stress the importance of this. I hope this doesn't happen mid Sortie mission to cause a wipe.
