[Sakebee 2265]

This is a thread for bugs related to the 11/21 open beta playtest.

 

When submitting bugs, we ask that you do your best to format them in the following way. This will give us the best chance of finding the issue you came across and making sure it gets fixed! Be sure to check out our known issues list and skim this thread before posting so we don't get a bunch of duplicate issues. Here is the structure we would prefer:

 

Summary: A short description of the bug – think of it as similar to a newspaper headline.

Game Version: This is important for tracking reasons. Including the version number lets us see how long a bug has been present within the game and where it was first spotted.

Description: A detailed description of the issue that you’ve found. Try to stay concise and clear in your information while being specific.

Steps to Reproduce: This part can be the most important part of a bug report. The steps that you took to reproduce this issue.

Reproduceability: If you find the reproduction of an issue, how many times are you able to reproduce it following these steps you wrote above? You can use a percentage or a fraction (ie. 2/5 or 5/5 times. 25% of the time or 100% of the time, for example).

Results: What’s actually happening when you follow these steps.

Expected Results: What should have happened instead of the bug.

 

Example - A bug report for a specific issue

1. Weird graffiti duplication

 

When spray painting this location:

The image is somehow projected and stretched on the other side of the wall, here:

2. Car engine audio 

While driving, the car engine audio is messed up.

First of all, it's crackling, like there's some bitrate issue.

Second, it jumps between the right and left speaker/headphone when turning the camera.

 

3. Whistle emote

The /whistle emote isn't whistling. It just plays the animation without the sound.

 

4. Lag spikes

Sometimes it seems that the server stops sending data and everything just keeps on moving in whatever direction it was going. 

This lasts for like a second, then the game syncs up with the server again.

 

5. Song playback UI widget is stuck on screen

When you start playing a song (I've been using the hotkeys for cycling songs and pausing/resuming playback), the little UI widget on the right side gets stuck on screen and never fades away.

 

6. The objective/resupply progress circle in the center of the screen is stretched

Not much to say about it. It's an oval now for some reason. Looks weird.

 

7. Mailbox is broken

a) I have Unread Mail notifications even though all my mail is read

b) It's impossible to delete mails, the button is greyed out and does nothing

c) When selecting a mail, it gets automatically deselected

Remove the center Armas button from the gamepad menu. During an active game, you can accidentally launch Armas. The center of the menu should be empty.

The keyboard and mouse stop working after playing with the controller for a short time. Restarting the game doesn't help, keyboard and mouse don't work since launch. If you minimize the game, the mouse and keyboard stop working. Visually, the game is terrible. Color temperature, fog color and lack of light make San Paro a colony of Mars. When moving, textures, shadows, light sources, objects stand out sharply.

 

The ship in the port area was made by an uninterested person. Animated texture of glare from water, rivets on the body, palms in concrete ... Terrible, tasteless, unprofessional.

There are two LOD models used:

The cars has no shadow.

 

Surveillance Camera model animation is not correct:

I get the feeling that at some point in time, some of the map collision models have been changed. Or perhaps there is a new collision system entirely. Either way, there were quite a few strange collision behaviours found in this test that probably shouldn't be the case if it was still using the Live collision model behaviour.

 

Summary: Incorrect Collision - North Havalynd Bus Depot

Game Version: 2.1.0.835612

Description: The buildings collision model does not accurately reflect the current live build which allows players to walk through certain doorways and collide with individual stairs

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Join Financial District
2. Go to roughly X:1688 Y:1027
3. Walk into one of the static doors
4. End up inside the building
Video 1

Reproduceability: 100%

Results: Player moves through doors that are normally blocked off in Live Build 1.20.0.835088
Players will also collide with every stair going up the nearby staircase

Expected Results: Player should be unable to move through the door objects and collide with the staircase like a ramp like current Live Client Build

Description: The buildings collision model does not accurately reflect the current live build which allows players to walk through certain doorways

Summary: Odd Collision - The Needles - Haverall Plaza

Game Version: 2.1.0.835612

Description: When colliding with the new placed Cafe A-Frame sign and metal table they can teleport through them by trying to run through them. May have been due to a client-server desync

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Join Financial District
2. Go to roughly X:1422 Y:928
3. Try to walk into or jump onto the newly placed Cafe a-frame sign, or metal table
4. "Teleport" through both

[Acornie 488]

Summary: 'Forbidden area' in a normal location of map

 

Game Version: 2.1.0.835612

Description: Instant death while walking and driving in the Grand Warf PDSP area of Waterfront, along the tracks, receiving the message  "you were killed for being in a forbidden area"

 

Steps to Reproduce: Drive or walk on the ground near the short railroad track strip in the Grand Warf PDSP area of Waterfront, the exact areas to find that are 'forbidden' is a bit hard, I died five times trying to work out where exactly was "forbidden" but didn't quite work it out. The track does not kill you, but the area between the two parallel fences do at various spots, reference pics and vids below

 

Reproduceability: 100%

 

Results: Instant death for the player/car

Expected Results: being able to traverse this part of the map as you should be able to

Game doesn't work in multiple monitors (3 monitors), resolution 5840x1080

After the LittleOrbit logo the game crashes, but you can still hear the music, also it loads on the left monitor instead of the middle one like all other games, even the regular APB.

Game works if I change my resolution to 1 monitor, BUT performance is not great, I saw the FPS dropping under 50fps and the GPU utilization was under 40%.
