Fast Switch Issue

I’m not sure if you guys have experienced it before but it happened to me quite a lot. When I on my range and fast swith to melee (Q), a lot of time it didn’t switch. What I meant to do is quick switch to melee > and quickly push the dog in the air ,but instead, it didn’t switch and zoom my range wep instead (because of right click that meant to push). Does it happen to you guys at all?

Next time I’m gonna record it with key press to see if I’m trippin or no.

It’s been happening a lot to a lot of people, especially since the patch. Something’s broke.

Yep switching to ranged from pickaxe is quite broken for me. I usually have to scroll 3 stage on the scroll wheel in order to get my gun.

This is really good but I’ll pass. Don’t want to use mods that give me advantage in a run such as the hp bars, decode, and so on. Only use QoL

So FS, fix it please @FatsharkJulia

I thought it was just my bad connection but i guess it isnt. This happens to me in pretty much every match, although it happens with every input. Reload, any kind of swap, aiming, etc i often have to press the input multiple times no matter what it is

You can either hammer the key that swaps to the weapon that you want to use, until it swaps.
Or you can use the mod and only hit the key once.

I do not think that it makes the swap any faster.
It only makes sure that the swap goes through, so this seems like qol to me.

switching seamlessly between the two :rofl:

FS always struggling with input buffering
some things never change

it changes the input prioritization to max, so when you press many keys at the same time you can cancel some inputs

your character can only perform so many inputs at a time, so if there are too many some get dropped, some external things also can drop inputs.

think of it as a to-do list you send to the server it doesn’t add anything to the list or changes how the things on the list are performed, it just rearranges the list to have the swap input at the top

bruh it just happened to me again 10 minutes ago.
they can just look at how the mod makes it possible and implement it.

They could, but they won’t, this problem exists since Vermintide 1 and was fixed with mods there too, they tried many times to “fix it” but it always breaks in subsequent patches.

:skull:
This sounds like they want it broken. Switching between weps in many cases is a do or die mechanic especially when you play in high difficulty. idk why don’t they prioritize it.

“sKiLl iSsUe!” :joy:

I jest about the forums, oc :pray:
