Greetings fellow riflemen! I'm sure some of you (hopefully lots of you) are familiar with the bug connected to take cover. I am just wondering, has anyone figured out a way to get around this bug? Is there any work being done to fix it? I don't see much chatter about it, and that makes me nervous.

For those of you who havn't heard of or experienced the bug, it goes like this:

1. Take Cover

2. Kill your target

3. Stand up and run somewhere

3a. Run all slow and jerky (I like to call it penguin walking)

4. Get incapped or killed

5. Wake up completely stuck and unable to move at all

The only remedy I have found has been logging out for a while. This sucks.

Anyone know anything about this? Thanks.

Exact same problem. Except I have had the cloning problem even when not using cover. I don't use cover anymore cause it screws up the run speed so much.

Yeah, I avoid it like the plague as well.

This will become a mjor problem when I get to the ranged sneak attack skills that REQUIRE cover.

This seems to only happen to Rangers. Any non-rangers get this bug? I've this for weeks. I don't see it much anymore, cause I rarely use cover anymore (for this reason).

yea im a ranger/rifleman and i have the same problem. i have two friends who arent rangers but have the cover skill and when they use it this does NOT happen to them, so it somehow must be related to something rangers have. i hope they fix.

I just stopped taking cover. I'm not even really sure of what it does for me... I tend to get up to run and change positions a lot anyway (to keep thetarget in my idea range)

It's a Ranger/Rifleman thing. If you are stuck walking slowly, the only thing you can do is to go prone again and attack something. Then stand up again. It will be back to normal. If you die and wake up stuck, don't log out, quit then log back in and you'll be unstuck. I've actually broken they rooted thing once by hitting the stop following button. Never worked again. Musta been luck.
