No Fast Switch And Choosing Weapon Possible!

IEMaverick

hi, i play ns since version 3, but now i have a big problem. since 2 days i can not change my weapons directly (with the number buttons) and i have no fast switch. i just can change weapons by weapons forward. people on servers says it was a bug and that it will be away when i die first time, but that doesnt happen.
also there is the problem that my first shot/bite is slow, that means when i try to fire it needs a short time to shoot.
i am sorry that i dont have more information, but i hope that anybody has an idea what to do. i installed version 5 new, but that didnt help either.

please help!

some sysspecs would be apreciated, however try these things:

1) Rename config.cfg to config.bak.

2) use Spybot S&D, Adaware, AVG, and what ever the new microsoft malware scanner is.

a - check your pc for spyware and stuff. its weird, but that could help.
b - check your config files. even if shown in the options dialouge, it could be that your weapon binds are corrupted
c - check, if this happens on other servers, too.


[edit]damn you, thansal

first thx for the help, but i am sorry to say that nothing worked.

i used ad aware 6 and killed all spyware.
then i renamed the config.cfg in the ns directory to config.bak
but i still have this problem and it is on every server i tried, i think 10 or 15 servers. i am sure this is a problem with my program, but i dont know what.

i hope you have any other ideas, if not i guess i have to reinstall completly <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

start up ns, and before joining any servers type this in the console

hud_fastswitch "1"

then join a server and see if you cant fast switch weapons again.. if you're going to start somewhere to try and resolve things you might as well start from the beginning.

ok, this didnt help either <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

reinstall steam?

if that also doesn't work, format C: and try again.

IEMaverick

format c: ?? omg, that would be terrible, i think in that case i wouldnt have played ns never again.
but i installed all new, hl, steam and ns, now it works fine, what a luck <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
though i would be very interested in what caused these failures

steam cache errors, maybe through a system crash or errors in update transmission.
