Repairing bug/annoyance...Has anyone seen this?

NCG JMan · 2003-08-04, 12:55 PM

Well, ever since I have recevied the cert for Engineering, I have noticed this minor, but very annoying occurrence. Whenever you try to park next to something (rock, tree, wall, etc...), you can't seem to repair your vehicle (or at least it's very difficult to find the right spot). Sometimes it takes just the right angle to repair it or to park away from the objects. I don't know if this was intentional, but I personally don't like to repair vehicles out in the open. I like to be behind or next to an object (for some protection). Has anyone had this problem? It can be very annoying especially if you are in a very active area. Repairing leaves you vulnerable and I would like not to take more time trying to find that special spot just to repair my vehicle.

FYI:

System Specs:

you think THAT'S bad? you have to find the EXACT right spot to revive someone with advanced medical, and sometimes it takes you ten or fifteen seconds of poking various parts of their body before the damn revive meter opens up.

Trust me guys, you're not the only ones. We feel your pain!

This happens to me to, the repair thing. Also, I have recently discovered the best bug in the world of Auraxis! i was on Esasmir, one TR fella with me. Draining a base of power and I had a full ANT and an AMS outside. I was injured so I repaired myself, then kicked in my Adv Regen, my health was at 80% with my stamina at 10%. All of a sudden! POW! My stamina goes to 100%. This happened to me 3 times last night. I think Adv Regen is causing a whole lot of problems.

Damn that would suck even more because as a medic, you are more likely to be in the heat of the battle. Extra time to heal/revive is even more dangerous. At least I can take my vehicle or move it slightly to repair it. You dont' have that option when healing/reviving.

that stamina bug is not caused by adv regen ive done it before without realizing it was a bug while in an infil suit. and also that position bug has been happening to AMS equip terms u have to find exactly the right spot and angle before u can press g

Yea I have noticed this JMan. And I didnt know that about the Adv Medic. Would explain why I see the Adv Medics moving all around me before they actually revive me.

I have noticed this one too. I forgot about it. This one has been in probably as long as the repairing one. Oh well, adapt and overcome

(at least until a patch comes out that fixes it)

This problem has been around for ever. Sometimes I'll holster my repair gun and then bring it back out and that will do the trick. Don't ask me why that should work, but it does sometimes.

Hey thanks for the workaround. I haven't tried that yet. I will try it tonight. That's still faster than having to get in/on the vehicle and move it to repair. Thanks again.

no if u stay in the same spot for a while that happens

I'm not talking about crouching and letting it reacharge. I'm talking about gaining 90% stamina in less than a second.

yeah, normally it's okay for a little while, but an infil medic is as visible while rezzing as if he was running full speed. that means i'm even more vulnerable than usual. there are a lot of problems with repair/healing stuff in this game.
