Shields randomly not working

Post by <eVa> + Sarge + » Wed Oct 05, 2011 9:47 am

Hi Dog. I have noticed that the shields whether bought at the store or picked up do not work sometimes. If I restart Steam it sometimes helps.
It seems it's only the shield. The radio works fine.

I have heard the same thing from all the regs.
I need my shields, it's the only chance to cap out when the Zombie experts are on :P

Thanks Dog!

This happened to me today, as well. I think someone told me the fix is to restart steam?

Sometimes the restart works...most of the time really but when you have an awesome ratio going it really bites to have to do it. Keep your score or go out to get shield...ah the dilemmas of life!

I've looked at the code several times but I'm missing something blatantly obvious....

On the bright side, never a problem with air strikes :D

I'm not sure. A lot of people say they disappear. Mine just don't deploy, no matter how much I mash the use key, so I get stuck with a shield I can't use for a couple of rounds.

Maybe you're tuckering them out. They can only kill so many zombies before they need a break! :x
