Can't hold forward (or any other direction)!

jam287 · 09-26-2008, 06:53 AM

Why is it that when you start a level, load a save, go back to a point on the timeline, spawn, etc. that you can't hold a direction and move that way as soon as you spawn? Half of my time is spent restarting because I pressed forward too early when I spawned and it just looked like I was running into an invisible wall. Is it just my copy of the game that has this problem?

Not sure I understand

I'm not really following this either, can you ellaborate this further..?

jam287 · 09-26-2008, 07:21 AM

Start a level and during the loading screen (where it says like "Loading Hollywood Holocaust" or whatever) hold forward. As soon as the level starts your guy doesn't move forward. You can strafe left and right but it seems like you are running into an invisible wall. The only way to go forward is to let off the stick and then push forward again.

Maybe it's just me?

Perhaps, try checking the controls, make sure the 'move forward' is set to anything appropriately...

I have no Xbox, nor this live version of teh game, but i recall there being a controls setup, perhaps something was disabled or changed somehow..?

no you can't hold any direction while the game starts, it will lock you up, and cause a delay, you'll have to let go then move, so don't hold the analog stick in any direction and right as you spawn then you can move...

Yeah, what he said.

What's the point of this? I don't remember it being in any other version of Duke 3D (the PC, 64, or PS version).

I only ever noticed this in multiplayer.

Because it clears your input prior to a level starting and waits on you to press a key.

I noticed this too, not a big deal though.

This actually happened to me right before the fight with the queen for the first time. And I got stuck on the floor that kills you even if you're not touching it like... WTF? But thanks to the new features it wasn't a problem
