Ret-lock after jumping: The Cure | Forums

[Cougar.ini]

First off, I'm sure many of you already know how to do this, but this is geared towards the folks who don't.

I've seen quite a few people talking about how when they jump off an object, for instance the boxes in Streets, that they get ret lock and feel like they are skipping around. And most of the time they also say that the only cure they know of is to jump off another spot. Well, here's a simple and easy way to fix this as it happens:

When you jump off something and get the ret-lock and skipping, simply go prone and stand back up. The glitch goes away.

Oooooooooooooooooooooh

So that's how you get ret-lock!

ret lock? wtf are you talking about?

The only thing I've ever gotten from this was the skipping.

Funny how it only happens on this map (same with the sound bug on Mountain Highway - will they EVER fix these?)

And I never get sound bug on Mountain Highway.
Or the ret lock. Yep very funny how things are.
That's what makes it so hard to fix.

If your gonna shoot me make it a head shot! Hate bein gimped

OMG...are The Cure still going...I thought Robert Smith had gone solo and that they had broken up for good

Close to me (closer remix) is a great version of their all time classic. I take it you are seeing them at Glastonbury??

oh...back on topic...I thought the drop down onto boxes at spawn points on streets had been cured by one of the patches many months ago..... well it cured it for me anyway and I have not had that happen since about 1.3 patch


The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist

You're very welcome. In fact, I believe it was one of your posts on the subject that inspired me to make this thread.

The stuttering ret-lock bug happens on pretty much all maps for me where I can walk on something that's slightly higher than ground level and drop off it, like the first step in a flight of stairs. I usually do the prone thing to get rid of it but sometimes I get tired of doing that and just let Ubi make me to run around with ret-lock.

You just listen to the ole Porkchop Express and take his advice on a dark and stormy night, alright? When some wild eyed eight foot tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against a bar room wall and he looks ya crooked in the eye and he asks you â"have you paid your dues?â"�. Well, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye and remember what ole Jack Burton always says at a time like that â"have you paid your dues, Jack?â"� â"Yes sir, the check is in the mail.â"�
