When you are playing 3.0 you will have experienced some of the following bugs and issues already - I hope I can help you with this little guide:

General PB problems: You can (additionally to your normal PB from AA 3.0) download the 3.0 PB client from www.evenbalance.com and install it, updating works easier and takes less time and when your PB doesn't work properly once you simply reinstall PB and it should solve your problem.

You are joining a server, without a reason you get kicked by PB and return to the main menu: Join a different server where you can play, then retry joining the other server after 5-10 mins.

Server browser issues: You start the game, the filter shows the server list, but it's the one you loaded the last time, so simply refresh again & when you try to join a specific server via clicking on it your game suddenly freezes - you can just join it via console (F12/Ö: open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)



Spawn bug - You cant move: Press Escape and you will be able to move again.

Server message "Unable to find a valid spawn point for you": Make a reconnect to solve this problem.

After spawning you have got an empty SAW: You can't fix this bug, what you can do though is trying to prevent it from happening - depending on the server there is some sort of cycle that makes you get an empty saw (on Impact for example the Squad Leader gets an empty saw after switching to the northern spawn with his team). In the last 5 seconds before the new round begins you have to press F12 and keep the console opened until you spawned - you will most likely have an M16 with 6 magazines. Still you can randomly get an empty saw from time to time - pressing Escape immediately after spawning with it might even get you some ammo, there's no guarantee though.

When spawning you have a different gun than you selected with almost no ammo: In most cases pressing Escape makes you get more ammo, doesn't affect your wrong weapon and/or your wrong weapon modification though.

Your entire HUD is gone after respawning: Hit Escape or one of the menu buttons twice to fix this.

After being respawned your view is still in zoom (mostly occurs with the sniper rifle): Simply zoom in and out to get your "normal" view back.



The server scoreboard sums up all your scores and shows -1 KIA even though that you did not die: Normally this isn't affecting you in any way, but on a few servers that "false" KIA is being counted - this can just be fixed by a reconnect or server change, I recommend changing the server though as it often happens again on the same server.

While playing you were hitting Escape for a reason, check something etc. and you go back into the game - you actually are out of the menu but it's still shown on the left side of the screen without to go away: Only a reconnect can fix this issue.

The match or the first half of it is over - you want to select a gun, you can't - everything is locked (disabled or invisible): Hit F3 twice - everything will be available again.

You just became your team's squad leader and are trying to give orders at F4, clicking has no effect on the F4 map: Only re-swapping with someone else (or changing weapon slots) or a reconnect can fix this.

You just selected a gun at F3 and wish to change your loadout - you can't, the loadout field is blank: Sometimes this can be solved by just switching weapon spots for a moment otherwise you need to wait one round to be able to change your loadout.

Between the rounds you are trying to swap with someone else - it doesn't seem to work: This issue can be solved by continuously clicking on the spot as it works in the very last moment of the time before everything is locked.

Suddenly while playing your textures are crazy, purple etc. it looks like Halloween on crack: Go to windows to temporarily fix it, your game will run slower after that though so that just a restart of the AA3Game.exe properly fixes it.



You and/or your team are playing "Take and Hold", while being at the objective the bar doesn't fill: Everyone near it has to leave the objective area once - after that you will be able to take it again.

You are playing "Take and Hold", you are capturing an objective and switch to the F2-F4 menu, suddenly the mini map shows that the objective being captures is white:
When the objective is white you don't continue capturing it, you have to move away from the area and return to the point again to go on capturing it.

You just got revived in the field, your view is strange - from the feet or from the pelvis: Right now that bug cannot be fixed, you just need to change your thinking as it depends on your view where you shoot at (view from hip: shoot at the enemy's pelvis/stomach to hit the neck and/or head).

An enemy is down, dead, you try to confirm him - it doesn't work: Often someone else already confirmed him, he can't be confirmed twice though, simply ignore it. In other cases when you killed him yourself you need to wait some time until he's confirmable.

Sometimes your nade kills don't count: Nade kills only count when you lethally hit your enemy or when they are naded at again while being incapacitated - otherwise the scoreboard won't give you the kill in most of the cases. If you confirm your kill and the cause of death was something with "AA grenade_damage..." you will most likely not get your kill counted.

You just treated one of your fellow soldiers, you healed him completely - yet his condition says "critical/wounded": This can only be fixed by either another medic, when that person is being incapacitated or is wounded once again.

On every map there are spots where you can climb over - sometimes doing that makes you unbelievably laggy (you can't look to the sides etc.): In order to fix this you have to move back in front of the object/corner you climbed over.



Your gun eventually doesn't shoot: Either you have a bug, which can be fixed by reloading 1-2 times, or you didn't reload properly (interrupted by sprinting too early or melee), this can be fixed by once reloading properly, too.

After sprinting your gun is gone, apparently it is on your back again: Press 1 (your button for the main weapon) and everything will be normal again.

While playing, after sprinting or nading your gun is suddenly invisible: Simply switch to a different weapon such as grenades; your weapon is still there so you can shoot nonetheless.

You just picked up a gun - you now have several (iron) sights at the same time: In order to get rid of this annoying bug you need to throw away the gun(s) you picked up - sometimes you need to do it several times if you want to use those guns properly.

While firing your weapon it doesn't make a sound and you see no muzzle flash, yet you see that you create bullet holes: Switch your guns and reload your weapon to fix this. Basically your gun works, it just looks weird.

You are leaning or aiming over a wall, you shoot and your bullets are flying differently than your crosshair, you hit your cover instead of where you aim at: Simply change your position or stand up for a moment.

You are throwing a grenade, your grenade seems to stick to your hand and isn't being let off: Press your throw button several times until you see it fly away, mostly lag-caused or simply buggy, it may be that you throw all your grenades of the type you got in your hand until the bug is fixed.

After having made a kill you notice that there is a gun flying exactly over your head, always at the same position: Even though that this happens very rarely it happens - it's annoying and gives the enemy your position easily - only by picking it up (and throwing it away in case) you get rid of that bug.

Okay, Imp.

To your first point - I tested things like that before and really just a reconnect fixed it, never heard that F1-F4 fixed it. But if you could tell me how exactly it can be fixed it would be nice to tell me.

To your second point - I know that but it doesn't really make a difference , I'll change it though.

Your third point isn't really a point as it's just one of the reasons for the bug to occur, I already mentioned that with the points of having no ammo and the server message about the valid spawn point and it often even occurs when your team normally selected its guns so it's unnecessary to make a new point for that.

You're welcome... I'm keeping it up-to-date, 30 bugs and their fixes so far.
