Clients get stuck in 3rd person view!

I've run into another problem while trying to introduce Chaos UT to our LAN group. Whenever I host a game, all the clients computers get stuck in third person view once they've chosen their melee weapon. At that point, scrolling through the next/prev weapons command only alternates between the melee weapon and the shield gun.

They can still select another weapon by pressing a number key, and slapping the 1P/3P view command twice will get them back into first-person view. But needless to say, that can be a bit of an inconvenience.

None of this happens on the host computer, where the game plays as expected. Anyone have any ideas for how to resolve this?

Thanks in advance for your help,

-Tom

Tom,

sorry for your issue. This was a know bug in PR3.00 when clients played on a listen server. It should be fixed with the PR3.01 path. Did you have that version running? And what gametypes were you playing (KoTH, ChaosDM, ect) when this happened?

sorry for your issue.
No problem. I know these kinds of things happen, and I'm happy to help iron them out if I can.

I've verified that I'm using v3.01. I just tested it and it seems to happens in any gametype in which players have a melee weapon, whether it's CTF, DM, Duel, or KOTH.
