February Fine Tuning - Bug Megathread

(Chris Mullins) #1

Hey all!

With every new update 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.

[list][]Type of Bug: Eg. Gameplay bug, HUD and in game UI, Frontend UI etc.
[]Description: Describe what the bug is and what happened in the moments leading up to and after the incident.
[]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.
[]Steps to reproduce: List the steps that lead up to the bug. Try not to leave any information out, every step can be useful!
[]Result: What happened after you experienced the bug.
[]Expected result: What you believe should have happened if there was no bug.
[*]Reproduction rate: How many times out of 10 have you experienced this issue? (1/10 - 10/10)[/list]

Performance/Graphical Issues: If you are experiencing either performance or graphical related issues, please also add your System Specification to your bug report including: Processor, Graphics Card, RAM, HDD/SSD, Motherboard, Sound Card and even drivers etc.
We’ll be going through each and every bug which is posted here. If you don’t get a reply, don’t worry. Just rest assured knowing we have made note of your issue and it will be addressed when possible.
Thank you for helping us make Dirty Bomb a cleaner place (that sounds wrong but you know what I mean).

Matchmaking still broken.
I mean, theres nothing wrong with putting players with 100-300 hours in DB against 600-1000, right?

Nader’s Martyrdom damages, and can even kill, friendly EVs if she uses it right next to the EV.

I even get game mode EV damage experience from doing damage to my team’s EV this way.

I am reporting this for the third time…

All engineers currently have no planting C4 sound in execution mode, on all maps. It’s actually quite an advantage tbh, because you can still hear everything around you.

yes but sneaky plants

Map loading screen bug. Whenever i try to load a map, the game froze, and i have to restart my laptop. PLS HELP!

(doxjq) #10

I was playing a game today on Trainyard and basically we all ended up standing around having a laugh because nothing was working. We couldn’t plant C4, explosives didn’t do any damage (proxy mines, fletcher stickies, arty airstrikes etc) … Everything was just cosmetic lol. We could still kill each other with guns though.

Only reporting this because it isn’t a one off. The whole objective being locked thing seems to be happening quite a bit lately and so is the damage free explosives. This is maybe the third time I’ve encountered it in a week, and someone reported it happening last week in a different thread, where on Chapel they couldn’t pick up the EMP.

Also proxy mines are still vanishing for no reason what so ever. This was reported as fixed in the last patch notes but nothing has changed at all.
