weapons invisible -bug? | Forums

[fabulouscoops]

This is the first time I have seen this strange bug.

In the Archive level on "veteran", I cleared the open outdoor space and approached the doors leading to the storage area carrying shotgun, rocket launcher, sniper rifle and AG36 with full health and armor. "Save Game" appears and I entered the room. Was killed just inside the door and reloaded the check point.
When I reappear outside the doors I cannot see my selected weapon in front of me, just the crosshairs. They all work and I can see the outline of all the weapons in the boxes on the lower part of the screen so I know what has been selected. I quit the game and restarted and everything was back to normal.
I have been through the whole game three other times on the lower difficulties and never seen this. Not a major bug, and this was the only time this happened but I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

I am running the 1.1 patch and I also had this happen. It happened just before entering the satellite base, and the only time I could see my weapons is when I scoped in with the right mouse button. I loaded a checkpoint that was further back and it didn't rid me of the issue. I exited the game and loaded up a level and the issue was gone. As you said, it's nothing major, but it would still be nice to have it fixed so I or anyone else doesn't have to postpone gameplay in order to resolve it.

I've noticed this quite a few times in MP games.
It seems to occur immediately after respawning.
The solution I've found is to use the mousewheel to select the next weapon.
This appears normally and then I switch back to the first, which by now IS fully visible.
Not sure if this trick will work in SP, but it's worth a try

Same bug here. I just installed the game, running v. 1.0 in single-player, and my weapon disappeared just after reaching the beached carrier at the first of the game (after respawning due to being killed). It would still fire, still had the crosshair, and using the right-mouse aiming mode would make the weapon appear as long as aiming mode was on. Otherwise, nothing visible. Using the scroll wheel didn't fix the problem for me--just changed weapons but the bug remained. I quit the game without trying an earlier save or restarting to see if that fixed the problem--went straight to the forums first to see if anyone else was experiencing this. Apparently, from what fabulouscoops said, the v1.1 patch doesn't address this.

This has only happend once to me in SP.

I have just started to get into MP and it happens all the time. But in MP all you need to do is switch weapons with the mouse wheel to fix it as was said.

I had a similar bug several times already - with sound. I was shooting but didn't heared the weapon SFX.

I have never seen this beofre. I did get run over by a jeep with no driver who then captured the objective I was defending. SOmehow I dont think that was a bug though becasue when I asked WTF the guy said "I am a ghost" and then disconnected from the server right away. hmmmmm kinda makes you wonder.

No sig for the captain
