Ranked Season 3 - 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 Reddit 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.

  • 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)

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: ingame store bug

  • Description: You can buy the same Aura obsidian loadout even after you already bought it. I highly doubt it was intended since you can’t trade cards and you can’t recycle obsidians

  • Video / Screenshot:
    First picture - the Aura loadout in my inventory (look on top left corner)

    51C13F1C3C4A231385F22AF6EA0F5A5E755F51321920x1080

    Second picture - as you can see, I can still buy the card for another 200,000 credits even though I already own it and it will probably just give me a dupe and it would be BS if anyone accidentally does it.
    436AD32EC384F13DE5BDF46E06E7B7BFFABED55B1920x1080

  • Steps to reproduce: Buy the 200,000 credits obsidian Aura card and then try to buy it again

  • Result: I could still buy the card despite already owning it

  • Expected result: After buying the card, it will be removed/grayed out from the store for you and you won’t be able to buy it again

  • Reproduction rate: I assume 10/10 but I haven’t asked my friends if they also had this or it’s just me but it’s highly unlikely that it’s just me

  • Type of Bug:

  • Unable to start the game due to error/missing files.

  • Description:

  • Error message when starting the game “missing Easyanticheat launcher.dll”

  • Solution:

  • Re-install “vcredist_x86.exe” found at Dirty Bomb/_CommonRedist/vcredist/2013 directory.

  • Notes:

  • People have tried to uninstall/reinstall the game as well as verify files and nothing worked until they manually re-installed the redistributable file.

Information on this was found in this thread:

Thanks goes to the people there as well as Pumpkiller for finding the solution.

  • Type of Bug: Ranked Matchmaking Bug

  • Steps to reproduce: Join party to play ranked, and when match found, click “Accept”. I DID click accept.

  • Expected result: Proceed to match

  • Reproduction rate: My first 2 match was 100% fail and get penalty, the third one is ok, but the fourth one goes to next bug.

Seriously, if it’s a bug, I don’t deserve penalty.
I have 1 more friend who got exactly same Ranked matchmaking bug (1st bug) -> http://steamcommunity.com/id/BRPKing

  • Type of Bug: Ranked party bug

  • Description: Can’t accept ranked party invitation. My third match was okay and it’s a full party. All the first third match was on Asia/AU server, I am from Asia so it won’t be because of high ping. But after waiting long time to get the next match in Asia/AU server we decide to move to EU server. Party leader said he need to leave and create a new party in EU server, so we leave party and he send invitation to all of us again. But when I click accept invitation, nothing happen.

  • Type of Bug: Visual/Graphical

  • Description: Animation/result not showing

  • Video / Screenshot: ![What] (http://i.imgur.com/HrcapsA.jpg “The”)

  • Steps to reproduce: Open an equipment case

Do I really need to explain further?

(Wolven) #10

  • Type of Bug: xp bug

  • Description: If you suicide using the suicide keybind (default “k”), you lose xp for suiciding.

  • Steps to reproduce: Join a game and press “k” while still alive (but not downed)

  • Result: You get a notification on the bottom of you screen “-xx xp suicide” (xx stands for a number)

  • Expected result: K’ing out should not make you lose xp. Only if you kill yourself with an explosive. It’s a tactical feature and is really helpful and good players use it all the time to avoid longspawns, refill ammo/health and regroup with their team. I’ll be so disappointed in you if you tell me that the xp loss is not a bug because it really shouldn’t punish you

  • Reproduction rate: 10/10

Thanks god. I was scared for a moment they will respond with “it’s intended” like when we got double xp for finishing people since Dockyard update.

I saw others complaining about it but I never noticed a dev response and saw nobody posted it here so I just did it myself. Ty
