ecksile Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 So I have this strange issue where after reloading some weapons I get animation "lag" or..left over animation? for a few seconds if I'm moving. During this lag I cant shoot/use iron sights and sometimes even move. Below is a video showing the issue happening. From what I can tell there's 3 different kinds. In the video after each reload, the moment the reload animation stops, I am no longer touching the keyboard..and yet the player still moves. Most of the video is of the extra movement/animation being played. The second is the animation slow down or slow mo, you'll know it when you see it...and the last isn't in the video but basically I can move correctly and there's no extra animation stuff, but I just cant shoot or use iron sights for a few seconds. I cant enter vats or use my pipboy during any of this either... So has anyone else experienced this? Or know of the cause? I do have a very very badly dying graphics card and I used to get other strange animation glitches in FO3 such as skeleton stretching or squashing while running after jumping, but it never affected controls. If I member correctly I read somewhere that fallout's animation handling is very bad in which it can only play 1 animation at a time and the animation has to finish before it can play another...That's why I thought maybe its animation left over? Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeOne Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I was actually just talking about this problem in a mod's comment area. Apparently it's popped up for a few of us, probably more than a few, and it TOTALLY ruins my favorite weapon, the lever-action shotgun. From the looks of your video, i'm thinking you (like me) have the rapid reload perk, and something tells me that has to do with the problem; as if the reload animation has to "finish" as if it weren't actually any quicker... if that makes any sense. That being said, I don't really have the know-how to do anything about this, but damn, does it drive me crazy. I'm thinking there's about a 50/50 chance that this problem is absolutely unfixable; that it's something to do with the engine, or something, itself and that we're just supposed to live with it. Regardless i'm keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecksile Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Actually I dont have the reload perk. But I did notice that it isn't just with some of the individual loaders but I've had it happen with the service rifle as well. But not with any energy weapons afiak...nor with any pistols or smgs either..I haven't looked into the animations yet but hoping there will be a fix before i have to start to...
