I've asked around and received affirmative response from several people. Auto fire (specifically android) is not working. Mine stopped working 24 hours ago. It was around 2:00am eastern us time Saturday morning. I suspect it was an update bug. I switched groups, switched weapons, played with settings, deleted plugins, and just did an uninstall/virgin install. Auto fire won't work on any target, even bots.

Update:
If a bit manages to hit me, my Auto fire comes back on. This is new. Auto fire used to work on all hostile bots without me taking damage.

Do you have any plugins installed? If so, remove them and see if that helps.

Autofire working okay for me, android user with a few plugins like targetless, catalog and db

Autofire works (as expected) for me, too. I have more than a handful installed, but I cleared them all to test. no issue still.

clever, you arent targetting just any old NPC, right? you ARE testing against hive bots or people you have used the /designateenemy command on, right?

I'm targeting hive bots and skirmish (deneb) bots. I tried without plugins.

/reload

/toggleautofire to make sure you didnt errantly turn it off, too. also check autoaim; i think AF requires AA to be on. Im just grasping at straws here, though...

Just to clarify too: Missiles and other ammo based weapons will not autofire, I know there was an update that "ignores" missiles and the likes if you put them into a primary fire group (so autoaim still works) but afaik, you still need energy only weapons in the primary fire group for autofire to work.

Mines, missiles. rockets, addon scanners (storm extenders, mining scanners/beams etc) and maybe repair guns do break autofire, so make sure you have none of these addons in the primary fire group.
