Hello folks, since I didn’t receive any e-mail from 343 asking me how my flight went but having spent actual time gathering and noting down bugs as I kept playing I decided to write them down here so at least I know my work wasn’t done for nothing.
(I know we played an old build, but since I don’t know which bugs have been fixed and which not I’m going to post all the bugs regardless).
—Game bugs—
-
Lag [ping] while playing multiplayer (I’m from EU, and I don’t think we ever played on EU servers for some reason, and that would explain why); - Poor performance everywhere but in the Academia where the game reaches easily 60fps (most concerning thing in my opinion);
^ Specs: GTX1070TI Gigabyte windforce, i5 8600 and 16Gb of ram (but let’s be real, if a xbox one X can run this game at medium in 1080p at 30fps every medium to high tier PC should be able to run it with the same res at high or higher at 60fps); - Inverted icon display for mouse side buttons (push to talk, ecc); - Game crash while changing some keybindings; ← while doing this it completely resetted my keybindings that I was able to change prior to the crash; - Can’t put full-screen? ← my 4k monitor can’t downgrade to 1080p or 2k without going into window mode, restarting the game fixes nothing; - Everytime you press “alt + enter” the game resolution resets; - Can’t take screenshot while in fullscreen-borderless (maybe GeForce Experience glitch?); - Every time you boot up the game, academia records gets cancelled; - Resetting keybindings to default doesn’t work; - NOT A BUG but menu’ navigation seemed a bit unintuitive but maybe it was just the low FPS; - After-match reports are in english only; (I was playing the Italian version) - (Happened to a friend of mine) Plasma shots became invisible for the rest of the match; - After-match score reports aren’t in order from MVP to least MVP; - Granades dropped by dead players have an orange aura that make them look as they are activated; - Sometimes my entire volume is reduced completely at random for exception of spartan chatters ← EDIT This happens whenever you Alt-Tab from the game while loading into a match, this may also result in a disconnect; - Immediately after completing an action (such as running or reloading) if you shoot any of the power weapons such as the Skewer and the UNSC Sniper Rifle,
the bullet won’t have any sound and the weapon animation won’t play; - I couldn’t change my AI for some reason ← EDIT, after restarting the game my AI changed, but after a couple of games it changed to default back again at random; - All the vocal functions didn’t work for exception of the open-mic; - The network HUD element didn’t work (it always stuck at 0ms); - Links to articles pages inside the “recent posts” stopped working; - In the BP section the icon that are supposed to let you see the unlockable object did not load.—Weapon Balance— -
Plasma repeater either need a slighty higher RoF OR slighty higher bullet velocity; - Sidekick needs slighty more damage at range; - Needler needs either a bigger magazine OR supercombine with less bullets (maybe it’s just me but I always find myself with 6 needles after I kill a single enemy with it);
^^ I would also like to add that I too would prefer a more “classic” version for the shard rounds (that stinging glass sound if that makes sense) - AR is completely useless against shielded enemies and at range; - I think the UNSC rocket launcher would benefit the implementation of its original sight; (the 2.0/3.0 magnification) - The gravity hammer attack animation needs to be faster;—Website Waypoint [Beta]—
I like it a lot, only thing is that its loading is a bit slow and there are some graphical misplacement in some areas,
for instance the little arrow after clicking the store tab in the personalization menu’.
—Suggestions—
- Co-Op Academia shooting drills (creating a score competition between you and your fireteam, wins the one who score the most)
- I don’t really like the fact that you can get ammunition for plasma weapons, I would rather just pick a new one up; - Weapons on the ground disappear wayyyy to quickly; - The Battlepass purchase isn’t that clear for the user; - Collisions for players of the same team would be nice; - I know for a fact that most of us players absolutely hate the “being kicked off ads” factor when using long scopes, it’s distracting, annoying and unfair.
Personally I always hated it and I always will. - Brig back the OG magnum and shotgun please <3<3.And yep that’s it, I hope for launch that at least the optimization will be fixed, but perhaps is already being fixed and we don’t know it yet?
Anyway I also had some screenshots to illustrate some of the problems I talked about but I don’t think there’s a way for me to upload them efficentely here.
Good day everyone cya!
