lovehousegaming 1 Posted May 14, 2019 Hi Guys, Hope someone can help me here. I have a crew on my ship on all cannons. They will not fire the cannons for me. When I press the left / right mouse buttons nothing happens. The button do not even light up blue like the other ones on the top right. Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to have a server / game setting for the crew to work the cannons? I have had a crew on cannons in the past and it works fine but just nothing happening for me now. Cannons are loaded, ammo box is close by. Is this something to do with a patch? Any help here would be great. Thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kidori 143 Posted May 14, 2019 Are they large cannons or ship cannons? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martyn 246 Posted May 14, 2019 I logged in last night to exactly the same issue. Tried unseating them, deselecting the groups and reselecting, it's really annoying, hold down left and no aiming lines appear, but select target with right and they fire fine. Had this happen on 2-3 different occasions, then this morning when I logged back in, it stopped happening. Maybe a server desync issue or other network issue.

Konvar 24 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) On the schooner in the gun ports are large and small guns. There are bots and ammunition. I press R, the right ports open, and the left ones do not open. As usual I will break and build again If the guns and bots do not tweak they work. If you change the settings, they start shooting at everything or stop working. The system is buggy.

George Catcher 367 Posted May 14, 2019 I once had this one (well not with guns but with stern ballistas) but it turned out - I forgot to select right groups : )) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovehousegaming 1 Posted May 14, 2019 They are large and small cannons in gunports. 4 small and 2 large in the center. I only built it this week so after patch update that stopped large cannons working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derfel 11 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) aye i had this randomly on sunday , sidled the brig up to a schooner sotd , opened the ports and smirked waiting for the volley of death... and they did nothing... groups were set up , cannons manned and loaded , within range and broadside on to the target , all cannons in gunports (loving the large cannon ports , makes ship combat feel more real) so i had to run away Not tried fighting since as im building atm , but it was very strange Edited May 14, 2019 by Derfel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sleepinator2000 87 Posted May 14, 2019 I have seen this off and on throughout development. Mostly occurs for me when a brand new cannon is added to a rack. I can usually solve it by "priming" all the guns with a manual aim and waiting until all the lines appear, and firing a single test salvo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocHolliday 366 Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) Also make sure you are NOT in K mode if you are trying to manually fire shots. Edited May 14, 2019 by DocHolliday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovehousegaming 1 Posted May 15, 2019 Can you have large cannons on medium gunports i.e. Brigantine ? Maybe something to do with mixing the cannon as my layout is 2 small cannons, 2 large and then 2 small again on each side. My friend who is also on the server just used small cannons on both sides and it is working fine for him. Only reason I dont want to demolish my large cannons is because they are journeyman cannons Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Medium is just the plank size of the gun port, cannons fit in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovehousegaming 1 Posted May 19, 2019 Quick update. I have built another ship and it only has medium cannons on gunports and I still have the same issue. Is it maybe something is settings that I dont have turned on i.e. third party riding ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lovehousegaming 1 Posted May 20, 2019 Found what the issue was. It was the positioning of the steering wheel. I must have had it to high or something as when I moved it to the deck I can now shoot my cannons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
