can\'t reload the mg although i have magazines/no RF enabled nor TUs reserved.
verified it a couple of times, with different soldiers/missions
running 2.4, latest git (as in 16 sep), on ubuntu 10.10 with an ati x1600 using the free radeon driver.

some possibly important information from your IRC messahes:
- how many TU do you need to reload the MG? i have 30 left and it always tells me not enough...
- (ammo: ) in in the holster, 2 in the backpack

Have you tried manual reloading (moving ammo on weapon on inventory screen)?

I could imagine that the reload "button" finds ammo in backpack first and tries to equip it, but getting from backpack + reloadtime is more than 30.

yes i tried manual reloading. and the reload button goes to the holster first IIRC.

I can confirm the problem. I tried both the reload button and manually dragging extra ammo from the holster onto the gun. In both cases I was told there was not enough TU when I had 30 TU.

so it&#039;s imposible to reload the mg with only 30 TU as extra TU are needed to grab the magazine, it seems reloading the MG is only for experienced, fast soldiers :)
