shooting deliay before shot

[twisted 128]

hi. playing latest dev build. loving most of it.

one issue i'd like to mention is that recently im experiencing a random but very noticable delay between pressing mouse button to weapon firing. happens with all assault rifles/lmg. plus on mods like r3f french weapons or the FHQm4 mod.

sometimes i click fire and there just no shot, or i click then there's a delay then it fires. usually after that i get about 4 shots firing in normal time with each click then the delay kicks in again. it maybe seems like its loading the sound or gun flash image or something - no idea what it could be. but it's something i'd think should be reported here.

cheers

I have that too. Makes my aim pretty bad because I can´t controll the rifle. I have no Idea what is causing this.

From what I've read, you're experiencing the annoying FPS drop when firing weapons. The smoke puffs from the gun, bullet impact effects, and tracer projectiles cause the game to choke up. I get this problem too sometimes. (usually depends on how much is on the screen, if there's A.I. soldiers around, and if there's a bunch of players in the server)

Plus recoil, sounds, trajectory and penetration calculations... I guess some optimisations can be done here, at least in their order.

If you're plaing with mods, they may have added other processing on "bullet fired" event too.

the delay is with most every every infantry weapon. it is quite recent, never happened before. turning down settings to allow for supposed mad frame drop has not much difference. Thing is that no other evidence of frame drop is there. the ai I'm. aiming at moves smoothly etc.

it's like click click mouse, nothing happens then next couple shots all work fine and shoot. then maybe click click no shoot again.

EDIT - i find that the delay happens mostly when targetting AI and i have AI on screen. when i start a mission and no OPFOR AI nearby there is no misfire clicking.
