ADS Bug / Sprinting In Place / Ghost Bullets
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Bug #1 - ADS Bug (or at least one variant of it) - Character begins raising weapon, then lowers it automatically, pressing RMB after this results in no action, however the next time you press RMB after that, the weapon will raise again as intended.

Method of reproducing the bug pretty consistently -
Hold W, A or D
Tap RMB to toggle ADS
Tap C to crouch (Almost immediately after tapping RMB, just as the gun is starting to raise)
Seems to help if character is on an incline (see additional information section)

If done correctly, the character should be crouched and the weapon seen briefly raising and then lowering automatically, if you now try to press RMB to raise weapon, nothing will happen - the next time you try to click after that it will work.

Sometimes after you enter the bugged state, you will notice that tapping C to stand up again can cause the character to automatically enter ADS - this seems to suggest the character is technically in ADS the entire time(?) but you cannot see it when you crouch initially. (You can see this at 1:06 in the first video - my only input there is C to stand)

This would explain why the second press of RMB does nothing, as the character seems to be lowering the weapon in the background without any animation present.

Just for clarity - the times in the video where I do ADS properly is because I messed up the timing and the game works as intended, the times where it looks like I simply crouch is when the bug is happening, where it should've put me into ADS but doesn't.

Bug #2 - Movement bug that occurs when character is in 'ADS bugged state'

After you've entered the bugged state, if you try to crouch-sprint you'll notice the character cannot move properly and will be sprinting on the spot/rubberbanding, you can then transition into a standing sprint and the bug will continue.

This only happens if you DON'T press RMB at all after becoming bugged - I assume the game thinks you're trying to sprint while the character is in ADS, which should not be possible, so fuckery occurs.

If you do tap RMB once after becoming bugged (the tap where nothing seems to happen) then character movement works as intended.

Bug #3 - Ghost Bullets

When the character is in this 'ADS bugged state' you can press LMB to fire rounds inside of the weapon, but there is no feedback, no sound, recoil or impacts etc.

In this video you can see I have 11 rounds in my MKII, when I enter the ADS bug I spam click LMB at least 11 times, seemingly nothing happens.
After putting the MKII back into my inventory and equipping it again, you can now see it says I have 0 (10) rounds.
After removing the magazine you can see that it wasn't only one round fired, but all of them, as the magazine count updates to 0.

Additional Information

ADS bug seems to be reproduced easier when the character is on uneven ground, being on some kind of incline/hill seems to increase the problem a lot, however it is still possible on flat ground but I found it extremely hard to reproduce it there. Perhaps my timing was just off, I don't know, but I had times on flat ground where I couldn't do it a single time in ~5 minutes, whereas on a hill there were times I could do it back to back multiple times in succession.

Issue can occur with both scopes and iron sights.
Tested with the following weapons -
LAR w/ ATOG 6x48
LEMAS Iron Sight
MKII Iron Sight

Patch 1.19 Official Server after Hotfix #1.

Video of it happening successfully on an area is that relatively flat.

Perfectly described. As a player that has suffered this bug multiple times, I can't thank you enough.

I don't mean to undermine this wonderfully-detailed report, but this was reported nearly a year and a half ago, with a lot of community input and an acknowledgement from the developers:

https://feedback.bistudio.com/T159299

Still no fix, however.

I did assume there were probably some posts similar to this however I wasn't using actively using the feedback tracker at that time, and I haven't seen any posts on this issue since I have been.

So I figured it can't hurt to post something, maybe it'll help them, maybe it'll be completely useless, either way its gotta be worth a try.

Apologies if this is seen as a useless spam/repost ticket.

Based on the information provided and length of time since that ticket, things aren't looking very promising :/ If this post ends up being useless then that's fine, I just hope they can find a solution eventually and we can all enjoy a slightly less buggy DayZ. 👍

+, had same issue with sprinting in place and ADS 3 times since last update

I don't think your report is spam or useless. Any information put forward to help get this bug fixed is valuable. :) I only wanted to point out the other report, if for no other reason than to let the developers know that this is a long-standing issue that thousands of dedicated players would be very grateful to see fixed.

I have saw many many reports of the ADS bug being worse than ever this patch. From my personal experience it is related heavily to performance / connection / ping on whichever server you are playing. I generally play lightly modded servers from my own region where ping is low and connection is good, the ADS bug for me is very rare. But if I ever play a US server or something very heavily modded, I start to notice it a LOT more. Hopefully its fixed soon, great feedback post btw

Ah gotcha, I can definitely agree with that :)

Even if you did mean it the other way it would've been completely understandable, so no worries.

For sure, this is a desync issue that can be exacerbated by less-than-ideal conditions. I haven't noticed it being worse this patch, but I frequently "test ADS" to make sure I don't have the bug, and also trained myself not to change stance and ADS at the same time.

The bug is always there, though, and can be reproduced on low-pop official servers. What's strange is that it wasn't always a thing, even on low-fps modded servers. I believe (but can't easily prove) that the bug was introduced with a 1.07 hotfix designed to curtail issues with ghost bullets, which at the time was a major issue. We traded one nasty bug for another.

I would like to say, I have been playing a lot more DayZ recently and I previously said that I don't get the ADS bug too often on a server with good performance / ping....yea....I was wrong. The ADS bug happens pretty much every time you try to crouch and ADS at the same time, the weapon will glitch out and not raise, and even cause your character to become frozen in place if you try to move away. It got me killed 3 times yesterday. In DayZ when you crouch, your recoil and sway become massively reduced, so I have it pretty much engraved in my muscle memory to crouch before shooting every time, which is pretty much not possible to do anymore because of this bug and its honestly causing my PVP encounters to be really terrible....pretty game breaking atm

Hi @Geez
Any progress about this bug? For players who has ping more than 40 and on locations where we have bases with a lot of gates and walls on each zoom get problems. I hope you pay more attention! For modded community it is crucial

Best regards!

Hello everyone.
The issue has been resolved internally and should appear in the next 1.20 update.
Regards,
Geez

the community is very grateful for this fix, this will be a game changer, but none of the complainers will come to say this now that the long time ADS bug is fixed.

thank you all from BI
