Fire in the Skies update - Bug Megathread

[stayfreshshoe]

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.

This page came out two days after update. Shaaamee. Some Dirty Lovers have already done some bug and annoyance reporting here: ANNOYANCES

Should take a look at that beyond whatever bugs are reported.

Also, can we write bugs about the forums acting funny? The posting multiple times and other such bugs that stop you from posting and editing and saving comments are really starting to get annoying, usually they happen more when you EDIT a comment.

[left]Quoted from reddits megathread written by kelk_welly. I have similar problem, but not so long/harsh freezes and my PC specs is in budget category.

Performance/Graphical Issues:

Intermittent Freezing/Hitching

Description:

Brief freezing/hitching, lasting 1 - 5 seconds. Player will move in the last direction assigned to before the freeze, but I will lose complete control of the player as the game “locks-up” temporarily.

Steps to reproduce:

Play the game.

Reproduction rate:

Play any game mode, match type, etc. and this performance issue will appear. The only notable difference is that it happens less so in ranked.

I have read this is due to Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) scanning, but I don’t know this as fact.

Type of Bug: Vote Kick System

Description: People who were just votekicked are able to rejoin the match. There was a person on our team who was being super toxic, so I votekicked them out of the match. They just rejoined and called a votekick on me, it didn’t pass of course, but they were still able to get back into the game.

Video / Screenshot: N/A

Steps to reproduce: I would assume the steps to reproduce would be to vote kick someone and see if they can rejoin match.

Result: After being votekicked, out toxic teammember rejoined our match around 30 seconds after he was kicked.

Expected result: He would have a timeout from rejoining the server for some amount of time. (That is what is supposed to happen right?)

Reproduction rate: 1/1
