Ranked Season 2 - 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).

Type of Bug: Eg. Gameplay bug

Description: After using an ability (ammo packs for example) with quick use key, or quick melee, the character gets stuck in the animation, until throwing all ammo packs, or switch weapons manually. (I’ve never had this until the latest update, which was supposed to fix this)

Video / Screenshot: I don’t have any

Result: I got killed (and the enemies got resupplied)

Expected result: I should have killed the enemies instead of resupplying them.

Reproduction rate: Played 2 stopwatch matches, happened 3 times with the ammo packs, and 2 times with the knife.

Type of Bug: Competitive Match connection.

Description: Right before a competitive match starts, a player from one of the teams will be dropped and removed from the game, and the game will either start or kick everyone out of the lobby forcing them to find another game. This usually happens multiple times until the player can get lucky enough to avoid it.

Video / Screenshot: None, sort of hard to capture.

Steps to reproduce: Players join a lobby, the countdown persist along with a laggy typing box and overall laggy menu. Right as the countdown hits 1, a player is disconnected and all of the other players are ejected from the lobby or a team is without a player for a whole match.

Result: I’ve lost 6 competitive games because of this glitch, since the matches will end up being 4v5.

Expected result: A proper 5v5 match with no lag and a proper server entry connection.

Reproduction rate: 9/10 times this glitch happens. It’s pretty serious.

Thanks for reading and I hope it’s fixed soon!

I posted a thread in the bug reporting section, but I saw this afterwords, so I thought I’d post it here too.

Type of Bug: Frontend UI
Description: I’ll just quote what I said in the other thread:

Welp, after all this time, the menu still bugs out when the accept button pops up while waiting for a ranked match. Upon pressing the accept button, it clicks (visually) but nothing happens, and you can’t do anything but watch the time-limit count down. Once the button goes away, the rest of the menu ui becomes just as useless, and the only way to exit the game is to alt-tab out. Once you boot back up, you’re prompt with a ban to add insult to injury.

It doesn’t happen every-time, but happens pretty consistently. I’ve heard it only happens if you alt-tab or use the steam browser, but it’s happened even if I didn’t do either of those things. It’s also worked perfectly fine if while I have used those things.

Steps to reproduce: Start a search for a ranked match, and once it finds a match, the button to accept doesn’t work.
Result: A lovely ban :frowning:
Expected result: A lovely match :slight_smile:
Reproduction rate: Pretty consistent, but doesn’t happen every time. I’d say about a third of the time for me.

Don’t know if this is a bug or intentional and I’ve just missed it mentioned, but here.
Type of Bug: Gameplay Bug
Description: Arty strikes are not damaging the generators on Dome’s first objective. Bullets still are
Video / Screenshot:
Steps to reproduce: Noticed while playing ranked.
Result: Arty strike does no damage when dropped directly on generator.
Expected result: Two Arty strikes completely destroys generator.
Reproduction rate: Haven’t had a chance to see if it happens again, or if it’s only ranked. But I’ll update if I end up on Dome again.

This is a real Signature.

Wish they would open beta servers to more people.

I miss beta testing and the anticipation of the secret dvd that was on its way

Type of Bug: Map Loading(?)/Gameplay
Description: While loading a map (trainyard) in ranked, a popup error appeared in the background that forced DB to close. While this might be one bug, the more major one was when I rejoined straight from relaunch, my 3 man squad was not the ones that were chosen during the lobby. Original squad: Stoker, Bushwacker, and Sawbones, the bugged one was Proxy, Fragger, and Sawbones. While Sawbones was the same, the loadout card was different. After the game ended I returned to barracks and the squad was the original 3 I chose.
Video / Screenshot: N/A
Steps to reproduce: No clue.
Result: Game crashed during map loading, upon rejoining ranked from launch squad was randomly assigned.
Expected result: Squad should have been the same from game lobby.
Reproduction rate: N/A

@x3mytiz ya math’s a meme sometimes

Type of bug: Lobby/Gameplay
Description: Once the lobby’s counter hits zero, the game finds a server and then ‘verifying loadouts’ stays on the bottom right of the screen. It stays like that for a while (~2 minutes?) and then all players time out.
Video or Screenshot: N/A
Steps to reproduce: I’m not sure what causes it, but it’s happened four times as of now
Result: Timed out and had to start over
Expected Result: We all get ingame and play
Reproduction rate: 25% or so
