Nice on fixing that exploit (nice find spadz)

What about the DE Bug?

I don't think that will ever get fixed.

**cloudwolf**

Considering all the bug fixes 'in the pipeline' Rarebit seems to talk about I'm quite dissapointed.

**Anamodiel**

DE BUG! Bah.

Glad to see the weapon exploit fixed, though!

Dezmo

I was hoping the weapon thing was noticed. I thought it was just me. SMILEY

I dont see walrus post much except for the updates and data node one stuff. Come to think of it I only really see rarebit post alot. I realize you must be busy but just stopping by and saying HI is always appreciated.

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Uh....okay, weird Hotfix. So you're just fixing the Downtown spawns from the Events and that silly firing sploit from a loooong while back (unless I'm thinking of another one, in which case, when will THAT be fixed? X_x)?

Eh, well, it's progress. No complaints here.

I haven't had much experience with the firing bug. Or perhaps I just haven't noticed it. /shrug

Kind of a lame patch, if you ask me. /covermouth

/shout FIX DE BUG. PLEASEEEEEEE SMILEY

**RemagDiv**

Thanks for the free-fire fix.

Ventio

Ahh, great. Thanks for fixing the free-fire bug!

Bug Fixes
High level story-related threat spawns in Downtown are now spawning correctly.
Bug that caused weapons to fire faster than their normal rate-of-fire has been fixed. (Exploit fix.)

Exploit? I don't consider it an exploit when my char gets stuck shooting a gun and won't release for me to evade or any thing else! Unless thats another exploit. But it happens when I freefire melee and guns. It's like the IL bug, but I'm punching and shooting. And while I'm punching and shooting, others kill me quick in pvp cause I can't disengage.

**RemagDiv**

Someone reported the free-fire bug still being around. SMILEY

**Grace of Darkness**

hmmm I had to read that patch again cause I was assuming they were still only spawning at vauxton and baldwin. I'm minding my own business deompiling items in park east and a lvl 60 unlimit spawns behind me and starts hacking the *poop* outta me. Yes, lvl 60, not fun, it was like fighting the task master solo but worse, I started calling in reinforcments when I relized I was only doing 50-80 damage to him per hit. Two hacks from him and I'm at half life. I will post pics when I return from work.

**Antitux**

I wouldn't consider the firing bug an exploit, being as once you get locked into it, it's a royal pain in the *CENSORED* to get out of.

every time it's hapened to me, I've generally gotten my posterior handed to me, because I'll sit there shooting a dead guy.

I noticed before the fix that my guy fired more rapid then he should, meaning more damage to the enemy. That might be what they fixed?
