Synopsis:
- Stoker molotov: Little or no flame when thrown straight down
Type:
- Defect, gameplay, regression, undocumented
Severity:
- Low
- Regression
Version:
- Last known good, first affected versions:
- Unknown
- Introduced somewhere around 20170921 Ghostclip or 20171010 Guardian?
- (where flames appearing ahead of the canister were more strongly emphasized)
- Today’s version:
- 20180125 Hotfix (twitter.com) (20180123 Lead and Iron)
Description:
- When looking straight down and throwing a Stoker molotov, sometimes only a few small flame sprites appear, and sometimes there is no flame at all.
Steps to reproduce:
- Stand still
- Look straight down and throw a Stoker molotov
- Alternatively, for comparison, look upwards very slightly
Expected results:
- Glass breaks, napalm falls,
- (optional) Around two-thirds of second later,
- Pool of flame from the center, outwards
Actual results:
- Glass breaks, napalm falls,
- Maybe up to 3 flame sprites on the floor, approximately one meter
- or,
- Glass breaks, napalm falls,
- …nothing happens. No fire appears at all
Reproduction rate:
- Can’t put a number on any of these. They’re likely wrong:
- More than 8/10? for a given attempt
- 2/3 Few flames
- 1/3 No flame at all
- Once you’ve done this, you should be able to stand in exactly the same spot and throw molotovs at your feet repeatedly, and get identical results each time
