Shotgun problem

I have a very annoying problem related to my shotgun. The problem is that very often when I press my key for switching to shotgun, nothing happens and I have to press it twice. This especially seems to happen when you have played for a while and haven't used the shotgun for some time.

(I, Of course, have the "quick switch" option enabled)

Also I have some delay before I can fire the shotgun. After I have seen the shotgun animation I have to wait maybe half a second more before I can shoot. Other people I talked to say they dont have this delay.

Because of this I rarely use the shotgun in battle since it is so slow and unreliable. I would be very happy if anyone have any idea what is causing those problems and what one can do about it.

It seems I have solved that problem about the nonresponsive key. I used a script for switching between shotgun and rocket launcher and assigned that action to a key. Now I instead assign the "last used weapon" to that key and my problem is no more. Don't know why but it works.

hey iller can you perhaps post the script? I have a similar issue with the delay on shotgun, and maybe that will fix it. I do, however, get that feeling that its just my computer cause i've been to internet cafes with much better computers and when i switch to shotgun and shoot its almost instant. However, anything I can use to help myself out at home is good.

Hi
Sorry, I don't remember what script I used, but that script was causing the problem with the nonresponsive key so therefore I deleted it.
And that script defenitely didn't shorten the delay.
Now I just use the "last weapon used" key to switch between shotgun and RL.
I am also still curious about this delay before you can shoot and what you can do to shorten it.
Does it really depend on how good your computer is ?

I'm pretty sure that the delay before you can shoot your shotgun is always going to be the same, no matter what script you use, i just use q aswell but i don't think it depends on how good your PC is.

Thanks. I left however, since I will not be that active during summer. :-)
