Captain Tenneal 10 Posted October 14, 2009 Hey I have a retail copy of the game, and got the 1.04 update from filefront. The patch updated properly and my version is 1.045something or another. Anyway whenever I try to climb up a ladder it bumps me off. If I hold down W right as I select the option to climb I just stand with my hands on the ladder rungs but do not move, as soon as I let off of W I get off the ladder. I had demoed the game in steam prior to buying it and I did not have this problem in the demo. I did not purchase the game over steam as I didn'[t want the long download, but I was wondering if there is a fix or if this is a known issue, or a walk around I could get to fix this minor yet annoying bug. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
no use for a name 0 Posted October 14, 2009 ladders are pretty flaky; but I've never heard of your problem. Does it happen on all of them or just a certain one(s)? You might try the beta out just to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Tenneal 10 Posted October 15, 2009 All of the ones i've run into so far, even ones I was able to climb in the steam demo. Could you define what you mean by beta? Is there a beta patch out somewhere? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been avoiding ladders for months now. I thought maybe I'd stuffed up the key config or something but I can't find anything related to climbing. I also could climb ladders in the demo.

Daniel 0 Posted November 11, 2009 Some ladders (like the fortification bunker) you have to physically look at a certain part of the ladder, generally the bottom few rungs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bulldogs 10 Posted November 12, 2009 I can honestly say that I've never heard of this happening, and it's very strange. You're not using any mods are you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
11_harley_11 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Yeah I've got loads. I'll turn them off and see if it makes any difference. Pretty sure it wasn't working when it was vanilla though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex72 1 Posted November 12, 2009 Never had problems with ladders either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
11_harley_11 0 Posted November 12, 2009 Fixed! I went beck to the default keys and it's working now. Being left handed I pretty much have to change everything so something was conflicting somewhere. Time to sift through and work out what it was. Thanks everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
