DayZ Weapon Ready Stance bug
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Any weapon any time, if I try to go into ready stance or out of ready stance 75% of the time the animation does not complete. I use the 'g' key for ready/unready and I have checked to make sure nothing else is bound to G. I have also checked other keys, for example the numpad 7 key with the same result. This has persisted up to the current version .63.148115. This has also persisted through re-installation of Windows 10 x64.

Additional Information

I have seen mention of this bug by other people on the official DayZ forum. Going to list severity as major, because this is absolutely critical for any PvP interaction.

Hello noreaster and thank you for the report.
Can you please check if you are also experiencing this issue with the default key bindings? As the custom key bindings may not work properly at this moment due to the feature being work in progress at the moment.

Hi GEEZ. I just swapped to the default layout and have the same issue with space bar...to my surprise. I honestly thought it would work that way.

Thank you for the update noreaster.
You are indeed correct that the raise arms feature does not work correctly when any custom key is used and also in the "DayZ" preset which uses the spacebar to raise the arms. This particular preset is dated and is going to be removed in the future. We suggest that you use the "DayZNew" preset which uses the right mouse button to raise the characters arms as that one is the "default" one and does not have the issue you have described. (please let us know under this ticket in case you experience the issue even when using right mouse button). Also, the issue is going to be resolved in the future once the custom key bindings feature is finished.

Geez
