Bugs with Grenades and ammo packs

Burning Mustache · Post by **Burning Mustache** » 2006-05-18 23:05

Not sure if this has been posted already, haven't found it here yet though, so I'll just go ahead.

I have noticed that when throwing grenades and when tossing ammo packs, most of the time TWO grenade models or ammo pack models will spawn.
Sometimes it looks like two ammo packs are lying on top of each other, with the grenades it's just one model following the other with about a distance of 20cm when they are flying through the air.

Also, grenades frequently don't explode after being thrown.
I haven't been able to determine the exact circurmstances under which this happens, I'll try to test it this weekend though.

As for the duplicate models, this happens ALL the time with ALL ammo packs and ALL grenades I throw / toss myself - I can get a screenshot of it, but I guess this bug happens to everyone anyway.

Yea happens in .3 also, even with the smoke grenades. I've even seen the 203 lob 2 grenades at once. And the ammo bag thing happened to me today also. Looks like 2 thrown.

yup, we thought we had it nailed in 0.3, but alas we hadn't.

It seems to be an ATi driver issue with the BF2 engine. We know about it, but cannot do anything as it's up to ATi so deal with. We cannot do anything to solve it by ourselves.

Can you all confirm that you are running ATi cards? It's definatley a gfx issue. We think we have pinned it to ATi drivers, but I would be interested to know if any nVidia users are getting the same.

If you don't have a clue what video card you have, or make, please do not post. We need accurate info

Well I can confirm that there isnt an issure with nVidia cards (although there was in 0.25) it seams to have been fixed in 0.3 for my nVidia card at least. 7800GT incase you need to know.

Yea I have ATI card. But honestly I hardly even notice... or care about the bug anymore.

i havn't noticed the bug since .3

I have an ATI 9800, the problem is apparently solved.

I have a Nvidia 7900 and i have seen the bug a couple of times, so its not a specific ATI problem.
It doesn't bother me much, i allso get this in the Operation Peace Keeper MOD.

burning mustache has a nvidia card.

I got one too, and I sometimes, not always however, this bug occurs to me too.

Negative on the ATI issue.
Like spike said, I own a 6800GT and I still see the bug.
Haven't updated my drivers in ages though, I might wanna try that.

I got 7800GT no problems with ammo bag here

(had to reduce graphics medium for shadow and dynamic light though because of other stuff like night map black buildings etc)

Geforce 6200 here. I haven't seen this bug since .25.

I got a ATI X850XT PE and i have the bug constantly.
Using 6.4 drivers.
Hmm.. any one tried to rename the BF2.exe to something else and see if that helped?
Or could it be a Graphicsettings issue maybe...

6800GT here with DNA-Force 2.2.8185 drivers.
Same problem, 2 ammopacks/grenades thrown almost every single time.

If Im correct the same bug exists in vBF2, but its way more uncommon there than in PR.

Park them next to your UAV station. They will re-arm.

To Repair, find a friendly ENGie.

Never seen this happen in vBF2 yet. Happens to me ALL the time in PR though, at least with the ammo bags.

It is indeed present with vBF2, although not common. It seems that something we have optimised in PR has caused this to become more common. Unless we stumble across this and fix it unknowingly, I cannot see us putting down resources to find this out, as it's a minor graphical bug, and doesn't affect gameplay.

Just pretend that you are being super nice by giving out 2 of everything
