Thread: I would very much like an ETA for fix of the bouncy weapons

I get slight motion sickness from the bouncing weapon and the properly fixed weapon glow.

An estimated time of fix arrival would be super nice!

EDIT Just...quick fix as soon as possible? Fix whenever next update bundle is ready? A week? Another month?

well, not Monday.

I doubt you will see an official ETA (prove me wrong), but look for it in the next patch imo.

I tried setting everything but Draw Distance to minimum, that made everything ugly but the effect is less stressing.

Have you tried zooming out? I know it's not ideal, and won't help in tight places. But it may help to reduce the amount/speed of the bouncing object by making it less noticable. Don't know if it will help, but worth a shot.

Sorry for the time taken to reply, had work today. I fiddled with many settings, doesn't make it much less distracting =)

I can still play and enjoy the game, just such an oddity where an update has game content and ends up messing with the character models. The fat hobbits were fixed immediately, unsure why this slipped.

Psst! While at it, can we get fresh face models for human F characters, please?

Anyone have FRAPS?

please make a quick video of this:

• log on a hunter with a legendary bow equipped.
• mount up
• start riding
• swivel camera angle so you are recording the video looking at the mounted hunter from the side

the video will show that every two seconds the bow vanishes and appears for a spilt second a few feet behind the hunters back.

with video evidence perhaps the devs will see it's really happening

Well they do know.

I do not have an ETA, but we do know about these issues and are working on fixes for them both.

A: Jiggle bones are a fantastic technology solution with many uses, but I don’t count making bows and great swords more goofy among the most compelling of them. This bug has made its way through tech art to engineering. The forecast is non-jiggly weapons on the horizon. - Todd Demille, Art Director

That said, someone already did videos of the issue. You can find them and some screenshots in one of the other threads about this issue.

That was June 8, and it had been about a month. Now it's June 23. Perhaps i missed some quick fix and it's a local machine problem for me but I still see the weapon go boing-boing-boing.

It'll get fixed about the same time they manage to fix the lag issues and the log in issues for people in So-Cal....

go turbine.

it will be fixed when the new pvmp map "not on the road map" will be released, im sure !!

And...now it's July 24. No word, no fix.

Motion sickness.

Happily I have yet another week away from t'internets but I had some hopes past two weeks would have seen an ETA.

August 13th, no update yet in my case.

Um, it was fixed on August 6 (update 7.3)

It was posted as a fix in the last update notes, and it was fixed in the last update/patch.
But it would be nice to know: Are you still experiencing the effect while in-game, now?

I personally didn't have a huge problem with the bouncy weapon; however, as others have said many times it was a bug, made them quit, gave them sickness, caused anger and accusations of hatred towards loyal players, etc. But it was fixed and gravity does now comply. So is it not a complete fix for all players and you are still seeing it?

Odd to see a bump of this. I have not experienced any motion sickness from bouncy weapons since fix.

@ "Al." above - I'd /bug it if I were you, and attempt to visualize the remaining problem as best you can in screenies.

It´s fixed.

At least for me.
