damage bug

Post by Mismatch »

Is there a fix for the damage bug, when all your shots(and bursts) start to make no damage with one of your weapons. (Usually the 10mm smg)

I'm using 1.08.

Bug?

Maybe it's because you are fighting people with better armor...

I've never heard of a damage bug like this.

Well, I suppose it's a bug, since it happens during longer battles, like versus the slavers in the den. Which arent that well armoured, and usually you hit and do damage but well, sometimes you just don't anymore. ANd keep on not doing damage, but you do with other arms like the greasegun and other...

Maybe they're Borgs and they evolve?

I really have no idea. Never heard of a this kind of bug before.

Probibly your ammo isn't penertrating their armour. Seeming both of those weapons use the same ammo (I don't want to hear about the 9mm ball crap :p )

And 10 mm is really weak in general.... So yeah, I doubt it's a bug.

But then why does it start not makeing damage after say x turns versus ppl all wearing leather.
ok, if it was to not make any damage all the time or no damage sometimes, but it seems so strange that it damages, and does so rather well in burst mode, but then it stop.
No more damage.

I'm not saying it must be a bug, I just think it's a rather strange bahavioural pattern.

Maybe the random/luck factor "wears out" in long battles or something? I really have no idea, what could cause this problem.

What Kash said. If it keeps bothering you just reinstall and repatch your game.

hmm, Ive been thinking, conclusion:
I'm a retard.

Prolly they took some of that +50% dmg-res drug.

btw:
has anyone else noticed that if you critically miss in a boxing fight in new reno, you automatically loose the match and all matches after thatone.
makes me sad.

Yep. Criticals are your best friend and your worst enemy at the same time.

Yeah, I'm familiar with the Slaver bug. As far as I've figured it, it happens when 1 of the slavers takes the psycho. Due to a bug, it affects all the slavers (yes it really does, I've experienced this multiple times). To avoid this, first steal the psycho, then engage on combat.

---
edit: patching the game won't fix this. I seriously recommend stealing the psycho first, or you'll be for a long long fight...

Don't miss :confused2: I'm a fan of high luck scores. It just makes me smile to critical a lot.

Both the boxing ring in Reno and San Fran are so full of bugs, it's almost unplayable. The patch adds additional problems, if I remember correctly.

Yeah. Don't even get me started on San Fran. I went to that place, I was an unarmed fiend with criticals. I'd drop em, knock em down, but not kill, and then the next round would start. It'd be 2v1. I'd knock that new one down, next round, 3v1. Around there they started kicking my ass. I still won though.
