Disconnecting from game when using Vulcan

[Cor7y 13,862]

Okay, I've had this problem for quite a while now and was curious whether anyone else has also experienced this.

So basically if you're using Vulcan and you shoot the turret for a while, sometimes the game will automatically disconnect you for no reason at all. Note that other players don't get affected, it's just you who gets yeeted out the match for whatever reason the game deems necessary.

I have a few clips of this problem occuring, will be sharing those shortly.

I don't know this exact issue, but I remember back in like 2018 there was an update that changed mechanics of Vulcan, and it created this bizarre bug where if the person you were shooting suddenly left the battle, every single player in the battle would crash, except for the Vulcan shooter.

So you could get a friend into the enemy team, wait for a gold box to drop, and then shoot him and have him leave. Everyone else would crash and you'd have the battle (and the gold box) to yourself. Obviously that's bug abuse and could land you in a lengthy block, but it was funny and so weird. Even weirder that people actually discovered it and quickly found out how to replicate it.

I almost never use vulcan. I have never experienced this when using vulcan though.

Haven’t experienced this bug (I don’t use Vulcan anymore) but I have encountered something similar with Tesla. While setting up a minefield with Saboteur, I was bored out of my skull (thanks, Mine special missions) so I started shooting at the corner of a barrier nonstop. Eventually I randomly self-destructed and lost all of my Mines (so I played normally after that)

So now it is the Vulcan player who gets disconnected because the devs want revenge?

Yes yes, that's exactly what it is

Wait, so what makes you sure that it's the Vulcan shooting that causes you to disconnect?

Because I've literally never had this problem with any other turret, and whenever I use Vulcan this error occurs in half the games I play

Yes I remember I had this bug in 2020 when I was using Vulcan IB and was infinitely holding the spacebar
