Bug #362

Grappling Hook Malfunction After Dropping Orb

Status:	New
Priority:	High
Added by:	Nick Rudak on February 20, '25
Assigned to:
Due date:
Reported for:	S05.08

Steps to Reproduce

1. Play as Scout
2. Have the grappling hook equipped
3. As seen in the video, pick up an orb that must be held with both hands.
4. Fall down with the orb, forcing your character to drop it.
5. Try to grapple somewhere, as seen in the video, but it suddenly stops working.

Explanation

While playing normally, I picked up an orb. After picking up the orb, I tried to carry it to the collector, but while doing that, I fell and dropped the orb. After I dropped the orb, I wanted to go back up, but I couldn't, as my grappling hook just stopped working. I tried to play the game without the grappling hook (failed, as I can’t play without one lol, it’s the best the game has to offer for me), and shortly after, my game also developed a weird issue with the mouse where it wouldn’t move properly, as if the sensitivity of the mouse had been lowered. Essentially, the game became unplayable for me, forcing me to quit and restart the current game.

Since my mouse has a button that allows me to set variable sensitivity, I set the sensitivity higher, but that didn’t help. Instead, the mouse became all choppy. I have also attached a video of that.

Video of weird mouse issues after I left the game: Link to video (This link also expires after two days.)
