Rogue en Vogue Update - Bug Megathread


(Chris Mullins) #1

Hey all!

With [every new update](INSERT LINK TO LATEST SD PATCH NOTES HERE) there are often a number of unforeseen issues that sneak in. To address these as quickly as possible, we’re creating a single Bug Megathread so you can let us know when you run into them. This way, you’ll have a much greater chance of having them seen by our QA team than by creating a new thread (we only have so much time for bug-thread hunting!)

Before you make a post please do a quick check to see if anyone else has reported the issue you have experienced. If so, simply up-vote their comment and we’ll know the severity of issues.


Format bug reports: When putting a bug into the comments below make sure that you give us as much information as you can. If you can remember any of the events leading up to the issue it can help us find the cause quicker.

[ul][li]Type of Bug: Eg. Gameplay bug, HUD and in game UI, Frontend UI etc.
[/li][li]Description: Describe what the bug is and what happened in the moments leading up to and after the incident.
[/li][li]Video / Screenshot: If you can grab a screenshot (which you can do through steam) or a video recording of the issue it would be useful for us.
[/li][li]Steps to reproduce: List the steps that lead up to the bug. Try not to leave any information out, every step can be useful!
[/li][li]Result: What happened after you experienced the bug.
[/li][li]Expected result: What you believe should have happened if there was no bug.

Hi, I’ve found a bug where the Honor Guard badge gets awarded constantly every 15 seconds until the end of the match.

Type of Bug: Badges

Description: The Honor Guard badge gets awarded constantly every 15 seconds until the end of the game. The bug persists across the second half of a stopwatch match.

Video / Screenshot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSA9C5fB-lA

Steps to reproduce: Get killed just as the EV completes its travel and you’ve been escorting it for a while.

Result: The Honor Guard badge is awarded when the escort is over, then it is awarded over and over again for the remainder of the match, including the second half (if it’s stopwatch).

Expected result: The Honor Guard badge should be awarded only once (if at all).

Reproduction rate: 2/5, once in Chapel and once in Bridge. I am sorry that I have not been able to repeat it more times yet, for it is difficult to do so in pub matches.

Type of Bug: Gameplay / Ranked
Description: After wining and finishing a game, the game did not show the player’s ranks and levels. Since the match ended, i left the game (console was spammed by this information), but loading to the main menu i got a warning of “~a match is still running, [Quit] - [Join match]”. The game acted like i left an already running game. But the match definitely ended.
Video / Screenshot: -
Steps to reproduce: -
Result: After a long loading screen, i “joined back to the game”, which doesn’t existed any more, and the game dropped me back to < Play / Ranked Match. Biggest problem: i did not gained Rank experience, but i got one more Win.
Expected result: Match ended, ranks and levels should show up on the score board, ranked experience gain.
Reproduction rate: 0 / 5

(Stinger) #7

Type of Bug: Gameplay/Visual
Description: Playing in 3d person, over the shoulder view Gears of War style :smiley: It happened to me once, twice to my friend and Ive also seen other players talking about it. All above occurrences happened in pregame warmup on Underground’s first stage, defenders spawn. It got back to normal view after next respawn.
Video / Screenshot: none
Steps to reproduce: ranked mode, map Underground, team: defenders, warmup, first spawn
Result: First time you spawn you get 3rd person view of your character. you can move freely, but cant shoot. Lasts until your next respawn.
Expected result: fist person view
Reproduction rate: random, happened to me once in around 10 games on Underground


(KeMoN) #8

Type of Bug: UI - Menu handling
Description: When you are rewarded an Equipment Case and unlock an Equipment Case (through leveling up) and you quick-open the unlocked Equipment Case in the server lobby, the notification for the rewarded Equipment Case disappears and it can’t be quick-opened anymore. You have to go the the Barracks section and open it manually. (Could be possible that it also happens when you are rewarded one Case, don’t open it and then get rewarded a second one and quick-open one [B]of them?)
Video / Screenshot:[/B] N/A sorry
Steps to reproduce:
1: Get rewarded an Equipment Case and simultaneously unlock one by leveling up
2: In server lobby go to your notifications drop-down menu
3: Quick-open the unlocked Equipment Case
4: Notice the rewarded Equipment Case notification disappear
Result: Minor inconvinience since the player has to go to Barracks menu and open manually
Expected result: Second notification is still present and that Case can also be quick-opened
Reproduction rate: If you somehow manage to get one rewarded and unlocked at the same time, I guess quite high?

Cheers

Type of Bug: Merc ability - cooldown
Description: I played Skyhammer at Chapel map start, then switched to Aura, because there was no other medic and after ~7 minutes of playtime I switched to Skyhammer again for AoE damage. Unfortunately I couldn’t use my Airstrike because it was still on a 36 seconds cooldown. I don’t know if it inherited the cooldown of my healingstation (didn’t pay attention) or if it inherited the cooldown from the last time I played Skyhammer.
Video / Screenshot: not really helpful
Steps to reproduce:
1: Play Skyhammer and use your Airstrike
2: Switch merc
3: Switch back and check your cooldown timer
Result: Couldn’t make use of my merc’s ability and was therefore relatively useless
Expected result: Correct calculation of cooldown time from the game. I understand that you want to prevent a switch-selfkill-reswitch exploit to quicker acquire your ability, but after 7, in words ‘seven’, minutes of playing a different merc, it should have cooled down, shouldn’t it?
Reproduction rate: Haven’t checked, but I guess quite high?

I think this one is by design: cooldown for any of your 3 active mercs is only running while that merc is in play. While you play with another merc, your cooldowns for your 2 sidelined mercs are frozen.


(KeMoN) #11

Oh. But I mean why not keep it running? There is not really a point in freezing it? If it keeps running it prevents the switch-selfkill-reswitch exploit and that is the only thing that should be important here. Having 36 seconds of cooldown after 7 minutes of playing a different merc seems to me as unnecessary punishment.


(light_sh4v0r) #12

I agree, I ran into this as well and never checked if it’s cooldowns from your previous merc, or cooldowns from previously using the same merc, but it’s annoying and unnecessary.

Type of Bug: EV repair bug
Description: When you approach the EV as engineer (I don’t know about other mercs) and try to repair it, you often are printed the message that a ‘Teammate is repairing’ although there is absolutely no teammate in the vicinity. This is really annoying when you have just a few meters left at the escort at Chapel because it nearly never happens that you can wipe all defenders from around there in order to repair the EV, so you are forced to run against it repair it for ~3 seconds and then get killed. Now if you receive this message, those 3 seconds are cut to 1.5 or maybe even 1 second, because once you realize the bug is happening you have to release [F] and re-press [F] and by the time you are actually repairing you are basically dead.
Video / Screenshot: Would just be a screenshot with the message ‘Teammate is repairing’, but I suppose you can imagine that.
Steps to reproduce: Try to repair the EV (from my experience not limited to a certain area/merc)
Result: You lose valuable time at your current primary objective.
Expected result: You approach the EV and can simply repair it.
Reproduction rate: ~75%


(KeMoN) #14

Type of Bug: Gameplay bug
Description: On Underground as attacker you are unable to plant C4 at the first stage which makes a win impossible for the attacking team.
Video / Screenshot: #1 #2 #3
Steps to reproduce:
Play Underground
Pray, wish are make your happy dance and hope that you encounter the bug
Realize the bug is happening
Result: Absolutely game breaking bug, which makes it impossible for the attackers to win
Expected result: Normal game-flow
Reproduction rate: First time I encounter this so I estimate somewhere around ~1%, maybe less


(KeMoN) #15

Type of Bug: Graphics glitch/Gameplay bug
Description: In Terminal the fog in the tunnel (1st stage) was present for the whole game, which made it really hard to tell if you could go through the tunnel or not, since the genny got destroyed quite a lot.
Video / Screenshot: #1 #2
Steps to reproduce:
Play Terminal
Pray, wish are make your happy dance and hope that you encounter the bug
Realize the bug is happening
Result: Interrupting gameflow, since you are not really sure you can enter the tunnel at this point.
Expected result: No fog when generator is working and fog when generator is down.
Reproduction rate: First time I encounter this so I estimate somewhere around 1% or even less
