penetrator bug?

[ILikeBigBoats]

When I fire the penetrator at a wall or other non-enemy target, everything is fine. But when I fire at an enemy, shelly spontaneously shifts directions. It's not even that shelly moves, the view simply switches. And the enemy type doesn't seem to matter.

Yes, that's a (known) bug. There have been a few threads about it in the Bug Report forum. I'm still lazy, so I'll quote myself again:

This is a known bug that will be fixed in a future patch. It is actually already fixed in the hotfix version of the game, but I'm not sure if save games are compatible with it, so keep that in mind:

In Steam go to Ion Fury and right-click it to select Properties.
In the menu on the left select BETAS.
On the right opt into "hotfix - Pre-release fixes" and let the game re-download.

For me i was able to get it to stop, if shelly is not duel-wielding them this bug dosent occur... At least for me that was able to remedy the issue. Kinda sucks but at least youll conserve some ammo.

Correct. It is a bug specifically within the dual wielding code blocks, so it won't happen if the player isn't dual wielding at the time. The hotfix that Retodon8 mentions above includes the fix for this bug.

This bug is a pain. I can't get disperser to work with 3 or 7 or mouse wheel despite having a lot of ammo. It's very hard to play in hard without TWO weapons and their ammo…

I presume that you are referring to the same bug mentioned earlier in this thread and that you have Ion Fury (without Aftershock) installed?

If this is the case you just need to install the hotfix, It's been available for at least 2 years or so now.

Where do I download this hotfix? I thought Steam would always install the latest version of the game. I'm also having the problem where I cannot equip my Disperser even though I have shotgun ammo and grenades.

The instructions for locating and installing the hotfix are right at the top of this message thread, in the reply that was marked as being the answer to the op's question.

This is assuming that you are running Ion Fury v2.x, and not Ion Fury with Aftershock installed (which would be Ion Fury v3.x). The hotfix patch is for Ion Fury v2.x

Thank you. I'm running version v3.x. A workaround I found was to use the give all weapons cheat which allowed me to access the Disperser. Not ideal, but workable.

Ah, in that case the issue that you're experiencing isn't the problem that the topic of this message thread is about.

It's likely that what you're experiencing is due to trying to use old save game data files from a save that you made prior to installing Aftershock (at which time you would have had Ion Fury v2.x installed) in an Aftershock installation (which is now Ion Fury v3.x). The weapon code went through a fairly substantial overhaul between v2.x and v3.x.

Another option that can be done (for now) regarding old save game files would be to temporarily uninstall Aftershock as that would revert your game back to v2.x so that you could finish off with the old save file in the same version that it had been created with, and then reinstall Aftershock when you're done with the old files.

Thank you very much. I will try this.

I've tried to install the hotfix, but the Betas tab of Properties doesn't show any options to opt-in to?
