Autofire stops working
« on: November 28, 2021, 04:43:39 PM »

I think this is the first time I saw this in the current version. 

Mid battle, my XIV Onslaught just stopped firing all autofire weapons.  Toggling autofire on and off did nothing.  I could still fire the weapons manually without trouble.  This meant point defense was worthless.

Eventually, I fixed it by setting the ship to autopilot (to attack an enemy) at which point it started firing without problems, then turning off autopilot and re-engaging autofire for weapons the autopilot had turned off.  At that point it worked normally.

I saw this a few times in the last patch too.  It seems very rare, and only happens during long battles.  The ship just... turns off guns.

I am running pure vanilla, no mods, normal battle sizes.

Did you by chance press "X" to toggle "hold fire"? There's a UI indicator that says "holding fire" to the right of the hull bar.

Oh, I didn't even know about that option.  I saw no "holding fire", but I wasn't looking for it.  If it happens again I'll check for that, thank you.
