7th December Dev Stream Round-Up [BUG SQUISHING SPECIAL!]

(Faraleth) #1

Remember, as always, unless specifically stated as confirmed, please take everything with a grain of salt.

Were you aiming to find out something else? Was there something that you’re turtley dying to ask? Check out the FAQ here: http://forums.dirtybomb.nexon.net/discussion/17544/dev-nexon-stream-faq

Bug Stuff:

  • Unlikely to see a fix for weapon stats “soon”, such as the mini-gun and REVIVR not showing up in the profile screen. It would be an easy fix to wipe them and have them correct, but they want to allow everyone to have their stats from day-1, so a full fix might take a while.
  • When reporting a bug, if you are able to record the bug via video footage it makes logging the bugs much quicker, and thus this means they can be fixed quicker.
  • Giving details such as map, location, what merc you were playing, what the circumstances were, etc. helps get bugs get fixed and located quicker.
  • They used to run “automated testing” such as performance checks, although these were scrapped when Nexon began running smoke-tests prior to each release. Smoke-tests are basically checking that all the functions work as intended.
  • If you have a bug report and post on the subreddit /r/DirtyBomb you can tag /u/Naxxarus and Naxxus will check out the report.
  • The “random key unbinding” has not been reported for a while, so if it’s still happening you are encouraged to report it.
  • Naxxus will look into the bug where the Aura healing unit glow remaining even when the unit is destroyed.
  • Explosives not affecting targets on MG’s has been “improved”, although they still won’t do any damage if they hit directly on the front. The hit-boxes have been made smaller.

Possible Changes/Updates:

  • There is a “potential fix” for the mission’s not refilling in the next update. Naxxus said “don’t quote me on this”, so I quoted him. :slight_smile:
  • There should be a “fix” in the next update that prioritises defusing the C4 instead of helping someone up if they are laying over it.
  • The T-pose bug will be fixed in the next update.
  • Some back-end fixes have “just gone in” and will be in the next update in regards to players warping.

Extra Info:

  • Guest: Naxxus - Associate Production Tester
  • Jesse bribed Splash Damage with some wonderful Swedish sweets.
  • One of them may have been anthrax. At least Naxxus kept a straight face while eating it.

Enjoy… Until next time! #roundup

I probably should have mentioned this before, but another quick fix.

Do not allow more than one person to repair or defuse a bomb, if someone is an Engineer, give them priority, and if someone is dealing with the Objective, change the message to say “Your ally is ____, protect them!”

It’s baffling why they -still- haven’t done this yet to be honest.

Plus give priority to mercs with mechanic augment over standard mercs…

(SteelMailbox) #6

FINALLY! This has been in the game for as long as I can remember.
I can’t tell you how many times I saw the effect and thought there is an aura station to waste a nade on nothing and dying.

(Drcipres) #7

So, when we should expect the update ? Tomorrow ? Wednesday ? Or next week ?

(Gung-ho) #8

Nothing about server having one spot empty but anyone that attempts to join receives the server is full message which results in one side being constantly one player down bug? For shame! Definitely one of the most detrimental game play bugs In DB.

and nothing goes for Thunder… ok…

And also let use defuse a stupid bomb as priority over helping a downed teammate up.

Naxxus said that the objectives not dropping bug happens only on unstable connections - packet loss etc. Well, my connection is rock solid at 0% packet loss routinely measured with 10000 pings and my ping to EU servers is always below 60. And I still experience this bug.

As Faraleth said, next update should contain a fix for that.

That might be the Demo Rec Spectator

If that’s the case then the server should be considered full, not showing 11/12, 13/14 or 15/16 but you can’t join no matter how much you try

Don’t think so, I have seen the Eye of Sauron even on a really full (for real) server.

I would even add that if a person has a “mechanic” perk, the above would apply as well.

It’s funny how it’s supposed to be the bug squishing special, but only the surface of all existing bugs and issues has been grazed…

(Izzy) #17

Well, they had to squeeze it into a one hour format.
