Multi Cannons not working.

[Arnak]

Hi,

I am in an Asp but dan anyone give me some advice please regarding multi cannons that will not fire when deployed.:S

They are in the 2nd fire group along with a K warrant scanner, deployed and with ammo but will not fire for some reason.

Plenty of power to weps, all I get is a clicking noise but no shots.

Power usage is at 98% for all items in priority 1 so that should be OK.

In group 1 I have 3 beam lasers + K warrant and they all work perfectly.

1 plasma accelerator in group 3 and that works fine as well.

Thanks,

Sounds like youre out of ammo

Hold the trigger? It needs time to spool up.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the replies.

Plenty of ammo and waited for spool up but no shots.

Very strange, they worked fine until I installed another laser and a plasma cannon.

It may be that you're aiming too high.

Remember where the hardpoints are on the Asp. If your target is above the central reticle, the two bottom cannons can't get an angle to shoot.

Assuming you're using gimballed weapons, you want the target to be half-way between the central reticle and the console of the ship.

Should probably have read this first. All I can suggest would be to sell them, then buy them back.

Hi Brujah,

Thanks for the reply.

No it's not that as I am just testing in space, no target.)

What it appears to be is that it is just random as to when some of the weapons work.8-((

I just tried again and the cannons worked but 1 of the lasers didn't.....

I'm beginning to think that it is down to the stuttering or some sort of lag on my pc or the internet connection as since 1.3 I have experienced a fair bit of lag which was not present before in 1.2.

I have a powerful new pc with a AMD R9 200 series with 3gig of memory and a I7 4.00ghz cpu and 16 meg memory, all on a fibre optic web connection.

So with all that I'm going to blame ED for the problems.)

I would suggest you're right, and you should submit a ticket about it. Without seeing your in-game setup though, it's hard to say. You could well have overlooked something.

For example, are you running over-power, so it tells you some systems will not function when you deploy your hardpoints? It might be that the weapons are disabling due to that. I see you said it's running at 98%, but perhaps that's it having disabled the modules that are above your power maximum?

Make your ship here and see what it suggests your power should be.

My best suggestion would be to make a short video of your problem, that way it's easier to see what could be the issue. Also raising a ticket inducing the video is a great help for the devs.

they powered on, in modules?

 

[Arnak]

Hi,

Good Idea, I'll get a video up.

Yes thanks they are powered up and do work but randomly.

I'm still going with the stutter causing a control problem as it is now a problem using voice attack for multiple choice screens such as requesting docking.

I have partially solved that by adding more of a pause in between selecting screens.

Wasn't there a problem in the past with malfunctioning guns after an update? Maybe try to sell and rebuy the guns and then test again. If I remember right, that solved the problem back then.

 

[Arnak]

Hi,

Yes there was a problem with guns after an update, so it will be worth me selling them and buying them back as a test.

Although I still think it is down to lag as they are intermittent rather than not functioning at all.

The multi canons work best now by repeatedly pressing the trigger.

I have also tried sitting in space at zero speed then turning off as much as I can to just leave the cannons, the result is the same.

Also the lasers are behaving in the same manner.
