1 - Make sure your weapons are assigned to firing groups. Do this in the 'Mech lab or in a match using right-ctrl and the arrow keys. Backspace is chain fire by default.

2 - Make sure your firing groups are assigned to your fire keys. Do this in the game control options.

3 - Make sure your ammo based weapons have ammo.

4 - Run the tutorial. Go through the training ground and piloting challenges.

Edit - aaand I more or less fail at reading. Sorry, it's late and I just got done screaming at my Jenner to lose some weight.

With 590 posts I would think you know all the basics.

Check your controls.
If all else fails, repair or reinstall.

They were pre-selected into their own firing groupings a long time ago. I have usd this Mech (Catapult - A1 ... I think) more times than I can coult, with this never occuring before.

You aren't giving us enough information to help you.
Could you make a screenshot of your weapon groups?
Have you tried to use the 1,2,3,4,5,6 keys on the keyboard instead of the mousebuttons? Are the weapons firing then?

Remember that if you have streaks, they will not fire unless you lock your target (default is by pressing R). But, they are the only weapons that absolutely require a lock. (When the circle turns red you can fire streaks.)

You went into games with your weapons not firing? Did you ever go to a testing ground to check?

Okay I'm awake now.

Is it just the catapult? Do weapons work on your other 'Mechs? You may want to try stripping the 'Mech and rebuilding it if that's the case.

Problem can be in third-party soft. Screen capture, mouse drivers and so on. Or someone redefine keys.

Sure, I will do that when I start playing with the Catapult later this arvo. But after posting this, I made sure to switch to at least four other 'Mechs and their weapons worked perfect. I will give mor info about the weapons not firing on my Catapult th next I post, along with a screen shot of my weapons configurations.

I do not use steak misses. I am more of a fire-support 'Mch, in my role.

LikeUntoGod - The only time I use the training grounds is when I purchase a new 'Mech and I haven't changed my weapons around on th 'Mch for at least two months, with no problems until now.

And when you strip the mech, save it, then add back in.
