Sometimes I'm playing, and I'm shooting people and I'm seeing blood fly from the hits, but then I notice that my ammo is stuck at 50.

To other people, it appears that I'm not even firing.

This happens to others in Sniper Arena too.

Does anyone know if this is a Pure 6x issue?

Just in case it was something with my game, I re-installed yesterday. Then I played tonight and after about 4 maps, it happened again.

A few days ago, it got even worse. My crosshair would also disappear and I couldn't see anything in the text box at all. But that might be a separate issue. That's the first time that happened. But the no firing thing happens almost daily.

Anyone know what the cause of this problem is?

Is this with Zero Ping, ZPPure or ZP2?

Yes, the no-firing problem in Zeroping is known, but unfortuantely the reason for it is unknown.

Flag should still not disappear, that might happen if the server is running high tickrate, and you are on too low bandwidth, or experience a high amount of packetloss.

Happens to me quite a bit. Also when the rifle goes, so does any relic your holding.

never seen a flag disappear though.

NetServerMaxTickRate=35

Hi Confed,

It's not *that* old. :-)

XP1800 1.1Ghz. GeForce3. Plenty enough for UT.

Since last posting here, I've also encountered the problem
on Pure56.

I've also completely reinstalled, keeping nothing but my user.ini file, but I deleted all references to zp Pure.

I thought it was fixed, then it happened again yesterday.

Now I'm really not sure if it's my problem or a Pure problem.

Sasha from IGL said it's a server configuration problem.

Anyone know anything about that approach to a solution?

i just noticed the rifle not firing today for the first time with pure 6b, never saw it happen before. i switched to pure 58 for now to see what happens.

I downgraded too and it still happened. So now I'm gonna try CSHP. If I can find it...
