Melee sometimes stops working when playing (Literally) : Crysis

» Mon Sep 13, 2010 1:47 am

I just started the campaign and sometimes randomly I cant melee. I press the button, try rebinding and nothing fixes it. It will on its own just start working again randomly. Anyone else experiencing this problem? Its very frustrating

Specs:

CPU: i7 950
GPU: GTX 480
RAM: 4 gig DDR3 1333
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Yes it happened to me really early in the campaign, before I even got my power/armor mode.

Maybe when I get all my powers it will fix itself? Has the problem came back for you after getting to use all your powers?

Yes, I have the same problem. Tried binding my melee to my mouse, and wouldn't let me open the door at the beginning. Had to rebind it back to V again just to leave the area. Also had a couple other rebound buttons not want to work until I put them back to defaults.
I'm running the Disc version of the game that I picked up this morning, and it installed the patch after install.
My system specs:
Intel 8300 Quad core
4GB DDR2 800mhz Ram
GTX260 w/896MB
X-Fi Professional sound card in 5.1 mode
Vista x64 premium
Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth Keybaord/mouse combo.

Really hope this gets patched soon. Im freaking loving the campaign and want to kick stuff and people around

Setting to default does nothing for me, it just seems to work when it wants to

Happened to me in the subway, couldn't melee even after a reload.

I'm experiencing this too, it seems to happen randomly, and the only way for me to get it back is fully quit out and reload back in. However, eventually it will just stop working again

Same issue for me, heres some info for diagnostics.

OS: Win 7, 64 Bit
CPU: Intel Q6600
GPU: Nvidia EVGA GTX 275

Downloaded From: Steam

Info: This has happened to me a few times, it seems to trigger after I die and hit "Enter" to load last save point, I am also still able to stealth kill, but "F"'s Grab seemed to be effected also.

I have the same problem, only starts happening when I die and have to reload.

» Mon Sep 13, 2010 8:08 am

Same here, I sometimes can't melee, power kick, or stealth kill. Usually resolves itself when the level reloads (through dying or restarting).

Also experiencing melle randomly not working. Not only that but twice, after a cutscene where the game takes control over the camera, after the cutscene i'll be without weapons, i'll just be controlling the camera. enemies attacking and no weapons, then randomly like melee, they pop back up and i can use them fully. One time this happened it seemed that pressing the "1" and "2" keys several times pops them up.

I'm very disappointed that these kinds of bugs would still exist at release.

same. just have to reload game.

» Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:03 am

Ive noticed it usually happens when I die (which happens alot on max difficulty

) and it reloads. From then on I cant melee or it will come back randomly...

This I think is an issue of porting a game from consoles to PC. I would imagine something like this to be a basic issue that shouldn't really exist at a game launching date. I enjoy doing melee and stealth kills but everytime I die this happens and I have to reboot the game. The problem on top of the problem is that I have to reboot said game and watch all the intros while waiting for the login screen to appear again. Hope this gets fixed soon. Another huge issue, why isn't there a freakin toggle ADS command? I gotta hold down my mouse key for it? Sniping without a toggle ADS key will be so difficult no one will want to do it really...

Same thing happened to me. I actually checked my mouse to see if the button was broken. Very frustrating. Way to fail CRYTEK, I loved Far Cry, Far Cry 2, and Crysis, but I'll never buy one of your games ever again.

I'm experiencing the same exact bug. It is driving me insane. I don't have any variables that could of caused it but it is, I'm at the part where the bridge collapses. I died after getting into the checkpoint and when i restarted I could no longer melee or assassinate people but... I could still kick the **** out of cars. I don't get it.

Experience this as well. Seems to happen after dying. OS is Winows 7 x64 if it matters. Freakin fix this. You have QA and beta testers for a reason, and that reason isn't to screw it up even more. Could have been avoided if you would have given us a PC game and not console port. Sellouts.

When I was under the crashed ship I couldn't melee. I tried melee on the window & my arms disappeared. It happened again after restarting. I can't get out of the area. Ya me!!

i cant use any melee on my last mision how come ????

» Mon Sep 13, 2010 12:02 pm

This bug showed up through the campaign for me as well, sometimes rebinding would fix it, other times it wouldn't. I think perhaps it might be some kind of conflict between the melee and the stealth kill, because it would always seem to show up after a few stealth kills for me. I eventually just lived with it.

I have the same problem. Restarting is the only way I can fix it.

» Mon Sep 13, 2010 3:33 am

Bump so Crytek notices. Just want it fixed so I can enjoy this awesome game
