Minigun & Galiting Laser bug

Post » Mon Apr 12, 2010 9:44 am

I have a problem since I finished Point Lookout. When I try to use Minigun or Galiting Laser, they don't fire automatically, one shot goes and then they stop shooting. I don't use too much those weapons, so thinking that it was a problem of my character, I gave Galiting Laser to Star Paladin Cross, but it happens the same to her! :gun:

Does anybody know something to fix it? Thank you so much!

I think my game is a little buggy... I also was fighting against a DeathClaw and it suddenly rushed to the sky. And I'm having the game crashes more frecquently :brokencomputer:

My config is the following:

AMD Phenom II X4 956 Black Edition @ 3.4 GHz
XFX GeForce 9800 GTX Plus 512 MB GDDR3
4 GB DDR3 1333 MHz CL9 OCZ Gold Edition Low Voltage
Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Pro Fatal1ty Edition
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO (AMD 785G)
Western Digital Caviar Black 500 GB 32 MB
PowerCooler 850w
ThermalTake Matrix VX (12cm front and rear coolers)

OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Editon x64 Build 7600

Could it be a driver problem? (especially sound or video drivers)

CPU & GPU are at default clocks (without overclocking)
I don't have problems with Left 4 Dead 2, Street Fighter IV, Marvel Ultimate Alliance
Neither BSOD or system problems
Temperatures are ok (CPU 41oC / GPU 64o C / HDD 33o C)

Thanks to all!!

The Deathclaw shooting into the sky is normal. You will see freaky stuff, it's because of the physics. I dunno about the other thing.... it takes a second for it to spool up with the laser, and about two seconds with the minigun. You have to hold the trigger down constantly out of VATS. The laser is near instantaneous so I fire bursts, the minigun, I tap the trigger to keep it spooled without firing it.

Do you have any mods, more specific weapon mods? Does miniguns or gatling lasers work for enemies and other groups, supermutant master use miniguns, brotherhood and outcast use both. Does assault rifles and smg work in full auto?

1 - I don't think that a Deathclaw shooting up to the sky is precisely "normal", but it's a funny bug. I won't argue if it happens, they kill Dogmeat easily :P

2 - I don't use mods. They both work with enemies, and even Fawkes uses his special Galiting Laser normally. Assault Rifles and SMG's work correctly.

Nevermind, now with Fawkes on my side I don't worry about using those weapons. I have in my inventory these:

- Gauss Rifle
- Infiltrator
- Heavy Incinerator
- The Terrible Shotgun
- Tri-Beam Laser Rifle

Thank you anyway!

My best weirdness was when I was exploring near Greener Pastures. I found a car, suspended in midair. Like 40 feet in the air. Cool explosion. Or when I shot a Deathclaw, it shot into space, got the XP, and it never came down.
