Missing Marine player UI v2

Post by ZDashe » 09 Aug 2016, 10:04

Bug Description:
A repeat of the same bug I once reported before > viewtopic.php?f=86&t=4688. I'll copy and paste it here.
ZDashe wrote:Bug Description: The player UI disappears, after getting interrupted during M42C sniper scoped view.

Result: Ended up getting captured by Xenos with no way to fight back
http://screenshot.net/54wp0f1 (note the missing UI below)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter sniper view (Use Scope)
2. Drop sniper rifle
3. View snaps back to normal but with missing UI

Workaround:
Pick up sniper and use it's scope again to enter and leave extended view.

However, it will still be a persisting problem if you happen to lose your sniper rifle, such as getting pounced on and having it dragged away or melted. Then you will forever remain UI-less for the rest of the round.
Additional: This problem resurfaced because F12 no longer seems to work for me anymore. Got pounced and lost my sniper, then nested with a missing UI and stuck in scoped view, and totally helpless.

This gave me super ghostly vision even after my spirit left my body:

My ghost is just below that fuel tank at the top...

Edit: Relogging helped to reset my ghost view after I died, but I imagine it would be foolhardy to do so in the middle of a firefight.

To fix being stuck in a scoped view you need to leave and rejoin, or alternately you can try canceling your camera view, however that doesn't work for me when I've had this previously.

Oh yea I forgot to mention that Cancel-Camera-View verb doesn't work in this case either.

Yeah, then the only fix for this is to leave and rejoin currently.

I wish they brought back the F12 to toggle the UI at least. If not you'll find me running to retrieve my sniper with my dear life or hiding somewhere far far away just to relog safely when this happens...

F12 to toggle the Ui still works just in this certain case it doesn't which is probably also a bug.

This has been fixed with the recent binoculars exploit fix, view will now always reset when it should, instead of "most of the time"
