CRITICAL BUG - guns do not group or split

Yes they are the same gun. You can’t group them if they aren’t

Yeah it wasn’t.

In any case im glad its fixed and maybe the thread can be closed

And i started in 2004, whats your point young one?

What sort of system spec are you running ? Before I got my new RTX 3060 computer a year ago I used to get all sorts of odd stuff happen on my low spec previous PC.

I think you’re actually quoting from me there, dunno what happened with that quote. I’m on an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-45, specs are:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800H
16GB DDR4 3200MHz
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (Laptop version)
1TB SSD
I also run it on a cooling pad, GPU and CPU rarely get above temps where it would be an issue, if ever.

It’s entirely capable of playing the game on ultra settings with very little slowing down even in high traffic areas, but I play on lower settings. It’s also capable of playing far more graphically intense games on very high settings with no framerate issues. About the only thing that’s made me bump down my performance since I got it was Ark: Survival Ascended, which has been a bit of a fustercluck with graphics.

It’s definitely not the specs of the computer causing these issues, or user error. I can use the same ship for like an hour, run missions, abyssals, sites, PvP, etc, and there’s no problems. Then I’ll randomly have these issues crop up without ever doing anything to the grouping, the setup of the ship, anything.

I wondered if it was connection issues, but I’m never having any sort of connection problems when it happens. I also don’t know how this game runs between client and server side, but I’d imagine that if the guns are set to auto-reload, then that would all be server side, and I’ve definitely had it happen from auto-reload.

Edit: But it also clears up just as fast. It’ll happen once, maybe twice in a row, but doing an ungroup then reload fixes it. Then it won’t happen for hours, sometimes days. It’s more of an annoyance than anything in PvE. In PvP it’s an absolute bummer though, especially when I get the ghost ammo thing.

this is an old bug , i used to see this a long time ago 10-15 years back. when i fitted and grouped guns in station every so often when i undocked me and my alt and made someone explode rarely i would get crap damage on them like only one gun was firing .
but i lose so many i used to put it down to rng untill one time it happened and during the gank i managed to ungroup the guns showing only one was firing, i died before i could regroup . it was a rare bug that most people that lost a ship every 5 years wouldnt notice but i lost many every dayand so it appeared occasionally.
i suspect it was something to do with my computer being old and not able to update the server so on my machine it showed my guns as grouped but on the server they were not . grouping and loading in space has completely removed this problem.

This happens to me occasionally, not so often anymore, but often enough in the past.

To insure I never get caught off guard by it, when grouping my weapons, I open the fitting screen and don’t load any ammo into the guns until I’m in space. Once in space, I load the ammo into the group from the HUD and look at the fitting screen to make sure all the guns loaded the ammo. If they did, the group was setup properly, if not, it is broken and needs to be cleared and reformed.

I’ve had a number of those ‘rare’ UI issues. Weapon overheat refusing to turn off. Suddenly losing the ability to rotate the ship in space. Overview containing irrelevant greyed out stuff from previous system…etc. They are rare, but they certainly happen.

I had this problem over the past few days. I had to ungroup my guns. All guns but one had a different ammo type. I reloaded the guns and regrouped and that seemed to work. I’ve also had weird sound bugs in certain systems that would shut down eve. No problem if I could get out of the system fast enough
