[UPDATE] Fixed Some Issues!

(MissMurder) #1

Hello All!

We know some of you have had some issues since our August Fine Tuning Update so we went ahead and started rolling out an update to our game servers to fix those things- Yay no downtime!
This update should address the following:

• Long delay in projectiles spawning
• Delay in respawning after hitting the spawn wave, causing players to go to freecam for a few seconds
• General feeling of a lack of smoothness with movement (Players positions being corrected by the server slightly)
• Potentially other “Laggy” feelings on the servers (Delay between players taking damage, objectives completing, match ending etc.)

This update is being applied to servers as they become empty. While not all servers are affected by this update yet, the vast majority of servers have been updated, and we anticipate this will be applied to all game servers soon.

Happy Fragging!

Glad to hear it! It’s been a little bumpy since the update, hope this irons out the wrinkles a bit.

Wow that was fast! Glad to hear these issues were addressed so quickly, I’m eager to see how well the game performs now.

Let us know how it goes :star:

After the NSG anti-cheat update on Steam, I opened the game and I got banned. Please tell me what’s happening. I am now perma banned.

Awesome! Good to know you’re handling the free view bug. That was a bit disorienting for me at times.

I did one match of stopwatch completely bug free! Slight lag but that is likely due to my own pathetic internet, just letting @MissMurder know things seem to be A-Okay with this fix, well done!

[EDIT]: Seeing some issues with Skyhammer’s abilities, appears sometimes when dropping ammo packs at your feet they will delete themselves, at first I thought they were invisible but I would receive no ammo for walking on that spot. Secondly it seems this will also happen rarely when using airstrikes. The marker will be thrown but no strike will be called in, fortunately it didn’t seem to go on cooldown either, but a problem nonetheless.

It’s uncertain if this is exclusive to Skyhammer or not, saw or heard no problems of other mercs.

Thanks MissMurder <3 Sometimes the Freecam glitch would make the respawn timer skip from 00:00 back to 00:25 :open_mouth:

I also had a match where people were reporting grenades disappearing and medpacks doing the same as well. They suggested it was to do with the change to the throwing code.

so i heard that this patch has increased performance? well no, not for me. actually, i got the exact opposite. my performance is soooo bad. heres how bad it is.

I have it on 800x600 res, and my actual res is 1366x736. lowest graphic settings possible with one frame interval. AND a fps config that works post “FPS Config-Removing-Patch.”

i get around 20 min to 60 max in game. averaging 25-30 in firefights. before, i would get a pretty goo 35-45.

this game in low frames is impossible to play. its soooooo stuttery.

I haven’t been seeing grenades or ammo sometimes, even though the sound plays the visual object doesn’t work. (I play a lot of fragger and skyhammer, sorry I don’t have more feedback to add as of now.)

Rofl you have 2 VAC bans on record and your last one wasn’t even 4 months ago. Are you really going to waste support’s time with this?

(SIO117) #13

Awesome. Had exactly those listed issues. Can’t wait to try. Thx for the quick patch.

(phila_delphia) #14

I still have major issues… CPU usage ups over time (up to 100% on first core) while FPS drop (down to zero).

Was kicking due to “hack” looked into?
I was kicked twice yesterday…

(krashek) #16

Yeah, can’t delete posts…

(AirborneVolley) #17

No more delay when respawning and movement goes smoother again. Planting mines works perfectly fine as well again. Thx for the fixes!

(springBagel) #18

keep up the good work :wink:

For the weirdest reason I’ve started having approximately 1-3 second long freezes, where screen, but not audio, halt where they are and once unfrozen I see my merc has kept running forward in the meantime. Not sure if it’s seen like warping from teammates / foes POV, haven’t got confirmation. They seem to be occurring more often during times when lots of particles are around, explosions & smokes etc., and specifically when using IR goggles.

Running Win7 x64, AMD Phenom™ II X4 945 processor 3GHz, AMD Radeon HD 5700 graphics (approx. 2300Mb VRAM I suppose? Could be wrong, I’m an absolute noob with this stuff), 4 Gb of RAM. I do use Blue666’s nice config which is balancing between looks and as good as possible fps. Trying now if switching back to original and setting everything to Low helps.

[quote=“coolFortress;69878”]For the weirdest reason I’ve started having approximately 1-3 second long freezes[/quote]I’m having the same issue, as is my girlfriend. Unpredictable when it’ll happen, sometimes a couple of times a game, sometimes not at all for a few games. Only happening since the patch, so assuming since more than one of us is having it happen it’s an issue with the update.

Edit: Thinking mine was actually CPU load related, disabled something and haven’t had the issue since. Coincidental timing with the patch it seems, so that’s good!

Edit2: Scratch that. Monitoring CPU and GPU load, both were fine, still happening.
