Whenever i pick up a SKS, the weapons name is "Winchester 1866". Im able to load the weapon, but when trying to fire it, it sounds like its not loaded.
The weapons icon is very small. The items description says i need to load it with 12 gauge ammo.
This is happening for weeks now. Today i found three SKS and was not able to use even one. {F30570} {F30571}
Find SKS, load it with SKS ammo and try to shoot.
I have reproduced this issue. Other around me see the SKS as they should. Only I see it as a 1866. Looks like client side .pbo file corruption. Either weapons_firearms.pbo or weapons_infantry_assaultrifles.pbo. Try replacing these tow files or a re-install.
Attempt cache verification through steam and retry. Sounds like corrupt file as noted by mawilson666
Cache Verification didn't work even after 5 attempts. Verification doesn't even pick up on the fact that I removed two of the .pbo files having to do with these rifles. Steam didn't even notice that and you would think they would do a file check and replace them with new files if they were missing or had a bad checksum. But I guess not. Option #1 find the .pbo files on a friends computer that is working. #2 re-install. #3 does anyone know how to edit a .pbo file?
Delete + reinstall. If steam verification isn't picking up such a large change in file validity it might be worth opening an issue for that also
Hi Ente,
this should not be an issue anymore.
Please create a new ticket if the problem persists.
