resent reset has resulted in horrible trigger delay

Dec 27, 2018 urshurak link
it's bad.

at best, i get a .5 sec delayed response, but more often than not, when i hit the button, i get no response.

it is immensely frustrating this makes the game completely un-playable

wth happened?

Yer gonna have to provide a lot more details if you actually expect the devs to help you.
This could be a platform issue or network issue and not a game issue.
I would check your /ping times and /fps times and post those as well.
If yer using a touch screen that can also cause issues from extra fingers touching to a dirty surface.

I know, Pa...

My ping is still the same (~100) and, in all the times that i have experienced some kind of performance slow-down in the past, it has always exhibited itself as skippy frame-rate and never as slow/no weapon response.

I play on a PC, so my game control is accomplished with a keyboard and a 4 button trackball. Trigger response has never been an issue...in fact, a common practice of mine is to split two weps between the primary and secondary and just hit the two buttons with a slight delay to achieve a chain-fire effect on the fly without having to group weps and write binds. Now that can't even happen because it seems that grabbing both triggers with a slight delay is a sure-fired way to get zero response. Granted, simply pressing and holding one trigger will fire the weapon on that trigger, but with a delay that is far too long to have any efficacy or accuracy.

I'm actually beginning to think that this might be related to my upgrading from ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.
I tried a fresh download, install, and update of the game client, with no changes and no plugins-- still have the same trigger delay/lock-out. To be fair, my next course of action is to cleave off a fresh partition and re-install the game client on a fresh copy of the old kernel.

Wouldnt be the first time an os update messed things up.
Its happend to me and I was forced to reload but the same version loaded cleanly usually
clears the problem.

Could also be the client update fouled up and you have a corrupted game.

yup, it was the upgrade to 18.04...

i wiped a drive and put a fresh install of 16.04 on it then a fresh download-install-update of the game client and all is good!

Let the pews begin!

Huh. That is worrisome though, that 18.04 causes some sort of input-latency problem. I'm sure we'll see more Linux users on that version in the foreseeable future.

I hope this is specific to your particular "upgrade" scenario, and not all new-installs of 18.04.

Not really.... last chromebook to linux conversion I had to redo the install 5 times before it got the keyboard and mouse drivers setup properly....

Getting hardware to accept config data and such is getting harder lately. Dont know if the hardware is touchier or the programming quality has declined.

Ugh. That's bad news; everyone will tend to blame that on the application, and not the OS.

I'm using 18.04 and have no issue.

That's not to say that his issue isn't OS-based, just that I'm having no prob. XFCE is my desktop.
