Bump so Crytek notices. Just want it fixed so I can enjoy this awesome game
Agreed. Does anyone know if this happens in the console versions?

Yea happens to me too. I noticed it.

No one I know with the console version has seen this glitch. I can't believe this made it through testing.

yeah this is kind of ridiculous. i really have no other complaints but after hours it still happens regularly. i've died many times because i expect it to work and it doesn't.f

yep same thing for but its everytime i die no melee no stealth kills until i restart the game really annoying.

Same problem here. Occasionally also fire or aim or other controls dont work, leaving me unable to do anything besides running around.
Unfortunately it happens very frequently and broke the game for me. Stopped playing after the second Checkpoint and wont play again until it is fixed. Really disappointing that this bug was not resolved while testing...

Same here.

Crysis 2 is beta software at BEST.

SHAME on you for charging us $60 for a beta.

Patch 1.1 is causing it. Never noticed the problem until I installed the thing. Might be causing other bugs that people are complaining about on the forums so I reinstalled the game. Unfortunately, now I've got a problem where I can't start the game without the autoupdater bugging me to get the patch. Any ideas to get around it?

Same thing got me killed 2x in post apocolyptic mode. Fail

Yes I had this problem too in singleplayer, at first I thought my V key was broken or something.
Weird annoying bug.

i have the same problem in singleplayer.

This is also an issue for me. What I find weird though is that it even stops giving the prompt for stealth kills. Sneak up behind an enemy, no prompt, button doesn't work.

It has not happened to me since I recieved Armor mode. Im a few levels in now and have not had the problem. I think its just bugged in the beginning...

I can also confirm that this happens about 75% of the time upon reload after death. Only solution I've found is to quit to desktop and restart the game. I really don't know how this could make it past Q&A unless they played with godmode on the whole time. Of course, this leads to ANOTHER bug where, upon resuming your game, you lose some or all of your currently collected nanocatalyst amount. The two combined make me want to stop playing the single player until this is fixed.

I'm having this issue as well. When it happens I am not prompted for stealth kill anymore.

Same here and had me killed a few times . Really annoying.

I've enjoyed the singpleplayer so much and the only real issue i've been constantly having is Melee stopped working. Im pretty sure it only starts to happen after death and reload of previous checkpoint. I can't really continue playing the singpleplayer yet if a can't melee So i'll be waiting for the fix.

All in all, excellent game, best singpleplayer i've ever played before, and multiplayer is enjoyable too.

Hi guys, this happened to me as well but I was able to accidentally find out why after a couple of re-loads, hopefully it's the same thing happening to you.
At one point in the game I got a bit lost, walked up to the threshold of an in-game cut-scene and turned around again because I didn't realize i had to crawl through a window to advance. Walking up to the window was enough to de-activate my ability to melee however my gun stayed upright (when you go into a cut-scene you lower you weapon). It was only when I actually went through the window that my gun lowered to show me I was in a cut-scene.

Hope this makes sense, it's just my experience so I'm not saying it's 100% what happened to all of you.

I am having the same issue in the campaign and in multiplayer. It almost like it wants to go into a cut scene cause sometimes he will pull his gun up like there is going to be talking.

any solution for this problem?

Another victim here. Rebinding doesn't work, restarting level doesn't work. Have to restart game. I'm currently in an alien battle (Semper Fi) where I really need melee to get through all these bastards. Seems to stop working pretty quickly after regular use.

It's getting to the point I'm probably going to stop playing until they fix this. I ask how can such an integral part of the game not work from day one? If it is part of the 1.1 patch is there any way of rolling back?

Me too. And I also get stuck walking in a certain direction.

Ya I think they should have fixed this before releasing the final product considering its something like this melee not working. Huh I must admit I am **** disgusted at the quality of PC products now a days. Granted things are more complicated than they used to be but and now they make games for three systems at once, but ****!

I have discovered something about this, at least on my computer (I'm not sure if this applies univerally):

After a certain amount of time, it starts working again. The interesting thing is, the amount of time it takes seems to be dependant on the map. For example, at the part with the lighthouse, I clocked it at 68 seconds every time. At the part before you go into the lab to destroy the address, I got 22 seconds. Also, on occasion and depending on the map, cloak mode seems to restore melee. (Either meleeing in cloak or cloaking and de-cloaking).

Anyway, these findings are perhaps unreliable, but it's all I've been able to figure out.

After you reach the next checkpoint you get the melee back. But it's realy anoying.
