Melee Disabled in Campaign : Crysis

» Sun Jul 18, 2010 6:48 am

I can't seem to find many other people with the same issue, but here's to trying.
Each time I die when playing the campaign, after I load the last checkpoint, I'm unable to melee. Stealth kills are still working though. I return to the main menu and reload the same checkpoint but to no avail. Melee seems to return only after i quit the game completely. Any others experiencing this bug or any variation of it, have you found a fix?

I also have this issue, at first I thought it was because I rebound the melee button but after setting it back to default and testing I can confirm that the melee itself sticks, as OP says stealth takedowns still work.

Ok, so I'm not totally crazy. Same thing happened to me and then it randomly fixed itself. I thought I just bound it to something else by accident.

Same here. No Melee after dying. Complete restart fixes it. So annoying. Hope they fix this soon.

Switching weapons helps me. Or not dying.

I'm getting this too. Sometimes, if I switch weapons furiously and pick up a bunch of random objects, it seems to fix it. Most of the time, I have to restart the game...

Ya, my melee gets disabled too, but I dont know if it's from a checkpoint reload although that sounds likely. Sometimes it comes back, sometimes not, also, sometimes I'm not able to fire my weapon after getting rammed by one of the aliens or just when I switch guns. Just a side note,can we have the fists back @ some point?

Same issue.

Whoever "tested" this game should be fired. Or whoever decided that it wasn't a bug worth fixing.

There is no way a bug this obvious should make it to release and it's the least of the game's problems.

I assume not everyone is afflicted with this bug. It may help if we identify common factors among us, like hardware/drivers/OS: I'm running Windows 7 Premium 64bit with a GTX 470 w/out an overclock, an Intel Core i5-750 at stock speeds, and 4GB of DDR3.

Happens to me a lot. There are numerous little glitches like this I'll notice. I find alt-tabbing out and back in seems to correct the problem most of the time.

Non-bug related, sometimes I've noticed that things will 'disappear' when you're about to do a cutscene, even though you haven't started it yet. Sometimes you just have to keep walking in the direction you were going for it to finally kick off, a little frustrating but if things muck up, alt-tabbing should help. Not a solution by any means, it shouldn't happen to begin with but it hasn't failed me yet.

I have the same issue, I thought I had to earn the ability to hit people, since the begining feels like a tutorial of sorts.
Now I understand that it is cletchy as well. I also have issues with multiplayer constantly asking for my serial number in order to play multiplayer... smh

I've been getting this issue as well. So this problem's clearly cross-platform as far as the PC side is concerned. I'd call it a confirmed game glitch that should be up toward the top of the heap just b/c it seems isolated to the game itself and thus easier (hopefully) to rectify.

This one happens to me as well. It's really annoying to have your controls all of sudden not respond to you for no good reason.

» Sun Jul 18, 2010 4:33 am

ok the ability to melee returned as soon as i reached the next checkpoint... we'll see how long it stays with me lol

I cant even break the lock on the first door

No melee at ALL.
The MP servers are lousy and don't start most of the time.
I got my LE stuff over a day late...But that dog tag will be real useful

Oh yes i had the Key rejected at first too.
Im really glad i Pre-Ordered, it's been a learning experience...Never again.
On the bright side it does look Amazing in 3d.... when i get to play.

Same problem, alt + tab fixes the problem for me.

I have the same melee bug and these two bugs as well

Nano catalyst resets to zero constantly. BIG game breaker!

Some scripts stop working. For example at one point a certain vehicle that was supposed to be driven out by the enemy was just stuck in place.
