Horizons SRV Dual Repeater Ceased Firing... won't reload and continue firing

[Warm Considering]

Before anyone replies read the following:

I have searched high and low, and the only instances I see of SRV turret--and other turreted or gimballed weapons for that matter--this issue occurring are when the weapon is not bound to a fire group, or when the weapon's target is beyond its firing arc. That being said, neither of those two conditions are true for my situation. If you are going to tell me its a fire group or firing arc issue, please do not reply. My turret is bound a fire group, the fire group is active, and I have tested against skimmers that I kept dead center or slightly below or slightly above the main reticle.

Now, the weapon appears to have an empty magazine. I synthesized fresh ammunition so now the ammunition feed now shows: 2000/0. As far as I am aware weapons in Elite: Dangerous do not have manual reload options. They reload automatically when they are empty until there is no ammunition left in the feed. The weapon fired until its magazine was empty, and now it will not fire again--another reason I know the issue isn't related to its firing arc or fire group.

What am I doing wrong?

Just stating the obvious but did you have power in your weapons pips to recharge?

 

[Krieger]

Do you have pips in WEP? If so, it could be a (rare) problem with SRV keybindings that some players (incl. me) suffered in 2.1. The problem can be solved by selling the Planetary Hangar in Outfitting and then buying a new one and filling it with new SRV(s). It'll cost you 5000 cr per SRV but it works.

To reply to you both: Thank you for offering that, but that is something I did forget to mention among the conditions that I've ruled out. I always maintain at least 1 pip in any given distributor feed, weapons, systems, or engines, depending on the feed I am focused on. My weapons power distributor was full.

I restarted my client in frustration and that seems to have resolved the issue. I hope it was a one-off. If it wasn't I'll reply to this thread again.

Shame, that my first post is to complain. My apologies to the community for that. I'll drop by introductions at some point this weekend.

No worries, many complaints are posted here . Good to hear you solved it.

That was it for me! Thankyou!

Wow, another new necromancer

 

[Bigmaec]

Wow, another new necromancer

Necromancy is the new openlettering

 

[Speedcuffs]

Wow, another new necromancer

But not one of those 'seismic' necromancers.

 

[babelfisch]

We have at least one necromancy per day. No wonder the game never dies.

 

[Factabulous]

Game iz ded. Forums ... unded.

 

[Julio Montega]

I'd call them "cultists of the deep (archive)", rather than necromancers.

 

[Lightspeed]

That was it for me! Thankyou!

You did the right thing ... had a problem, checked out past threads, and solved your problem

Of course, by posting a comment (and why not give a thankyou for the solution !), it invites cries of necromancy

True, though the real necromancers here are FD with year-old bugs returning or staying.
There should be an ingame "known workaround database" for quick help at this point.

 

[Draggin]

Hahahahahahah And we will Necro again! If this person had not necroed, then he/she would have been told to use the search functions on the forums. I am such a newb..... I just had to search for this answer myself!
Sorry not sorry to necro. Catch you in the black commanders!

 

[Kelster87]

Why do people whine incessantly before they've tried a restart of ED?

 

[Rick6549]

So do we just necro this thread every couple months?



Id be down for that

I think we DO necro this thread every couple of months! I had the same issue just now. However I can confirm that boarding your ship and relaunching the SRV fixes it. Dunno if that's been mentioned already so, there you go - more workarounds.

What do you have against necromancers? they just like to make new friends.

from pieces of old ones.
