Revolver BUG!

Post » Fri Apr 01, 2011 1:00 am

My revolver, when fired in VATS, shoots the bullet straight into the air, high above the enemy's head!

Is there a reason why my PC is acting like this? This is bugged for ALL revolvers in my game.

No matter what, the revolver almost never hits the person I'm aiming, save for a few lucky shots. Is there something wrong with my .ini?

Help!?

Try to verify the game files through steam, and let it redownload any broken ones.

Should there be? Have you been editing it?

Haven't heard of this before. There are two revolvers. the Wiki only mentions bugs modding the .44 Revolver with the heavy frame and it doesn't involve inaccuracy.

I would take esrafael's advice.

I verified it and it found one file corrupt, which it said it will reacquire.

However, nothing of the sort has happened. The bug is still prevalent, and I'm baffled.

The one file that was corrupt was nothing really. InstallScript.vdf, which is always found to be corrupt (nearly always), but has no impact on the game.

I think I heard someone report something similar due to the last patch. I've never seen it since I rarely use my weapons in VATS. I don't know if there is a workaround, but hopefully the soon-to-be patch will correct the issue.

Right now, revolvers and lever-action weapons sometimes shoot high both in and out of VATS. More prone to happen if firing from the crouched position. Targeting the torso in VATS and crotch in free-aim tends to minimize the issue.

But my shots tend to go into the skies, almost 100% of the time.

I'm worried this issue only applies to my Fallout, as seemingly no one has this error.
