[0.856 & 0869] xfire and randomly firing weapons

[Hietaa]

First time this appeared to me during 0.869 stress test when i discovered i could build firebases using the xfire ingame without having to press fire button the whole time. After the firebase was ready i turned off the xfire in-game and started running to rest of my squad. After some time i stopped and my gun started firing like crazy. Switched back to shovel and pressed few time my firing button. Took my gun back up and it didn't do it again. At first i thought it was my mouse fucking around because it had done it sometimes, not in 1½ years tho.

When playing 0.856 after that i used the same thing to build firebase and after i got my weapon it started firing again. Luckily i didn't have saw this time .

So it seems like after disabling the xfire ingame system the game still thinks i'm pressing the button i pressed while turning on my xfire ingame. Not sure if this related to PR or xfire.

I could guess it is a Xfire problem really. If not it would be vBF2.

i have never had the firing issue...just my player wouldn't stop walking....

It's Xfire, while you have ingame up it'll keep whatever buttons you pressed down when you opened it continually pressed, IE continuing to walk forward to using the shovel (essentially "shooting" it).

However, I've sometimes found that when you get out of ingame Xfire it won't stop unless you Alt-tab and return to the game. Mainly when I use ingame Xfire to walk long distances while I go do something, and then I'll exit it, and continue walking forward or w/e. Probably that m8, Alt-Tabbing and returning to game is also a possible option to solve this.

Yeah it works with all games, it gets confused with the last button you press, excluding Scroll lock and X/S/V w/e.

Not a PR bug.
