List of Bugs, Issues, and More I am Experiencing
I should note that some of these are issues for all platforms I'm sure. All of the Hard Freezing, Lag, and Memory Leaks would probably be associated with PS3 mostly though :). But I'll just start in...
Some of these have been around since launch and others are recent stuff. I'll probably forget a few here and I will edit them in later if I do forget anything.
- General Lag. After a few Major Arkfalls, menus and actions take longer to load, and eventually you will get timed out. And it's not just Arkfalls though Arkfalls will cause it the most. Sieges, Co-ops, PvP will also. Even getting a bunch of clanmates somewhere in one spot will cause lag. Once you get timed out, it will likely continue to happen, until you restart your game.
- Another Recent Lag issue. Since the DLC patch there has been a lot of lag around the Crater Bar, Muir Processing, Crystal Pond, Kinship Plaza, as well as Iron Demon. Fast traveling to these spots, especially after you've been online for about an hour or more, is usually an automatic time out. The Crater seems to be the worst though I've had the issue around Muir and Iron Demon too.
- Hard Freezes. It's been said time and time again on here. And it can happen at any time to anyone. The game will hard lock your PS3 and you are forced to either shut the power off from the back (if you have the Phat model) or hold down the power button for 20 seconds on the Slim. Don't unplug your PS3! As for the newest Slim model I am not sure how you would shut it off on that one.
- Soft Freezes at Scrapper Major Arkfalls. On the minor Arkfalls leading up to the Major, I have soft froze several times, and though it's not hard freezes it is very annoying and I started to avoid them.
* In playing with other friends we are starting to think this issue is only a problem with female characters only (Human and Casti for sure as they have the same model). Same for Irath females too?
- Chat. Not only is it a complete mess at this point (this has been said numerous times on these forums) but certain parts of it are just broken. For example, when I go to my menus or my map, I don't get some of the recent chat feed. Very annoying as when I'm in the menu I will usually miss if people are chatting or trying to message me.
- Friends are ONLINE Spam! It gets so bad sometimes that you can't even look at your chat history because it keeps bumping me down the list to keep saying my friends are ONLINE.
- Group Leader Spam. Had this happen a lot recently again, I group up with some friends, and it starts saying that one of us is leader and not leader constantly and starts going nuts in the chat window. Chat window can get filled with this very quickly. And with all of the stuff in the chat window it makes you more vulnerable to lag/time outs/freezing.
- Phasing issue with Group Members. Even if you are in the same world with group members sometimes you will lose phase with them and you start running into major problems. Such as being at the same Arkfall as a friend but in a different phase. Enemies will start disappearing and some hubs will even have their vendors missing from them.
* I'm thought it has something to do with Sieges but not sure. I've noticed it happen a few times after Fast Traveling from a completed Siege.
- Co-op grouping issue. Happens a lot when I go in with friends into Co-op. One of us will get knocked out of the group on our end. Therefore we can't talk to the group at all, can't see their health, etc.
- Clan issues. New problem introduced after the first DLC. Leaders aren't able to send Clan Invites unless they add the player to their Friend List. Also the full Clan Roster doesn't show up. The only people that do show up on the roster are those who have been online. Also sometimes Clan Memebers won't show up on the roster at all even though they are online.
- Mic issues. Some improvements have been made to the mics but I still have the issue of people not being able to hear people or they can't hear me sometimes.
- Mic Audio issue. The more people you have on the mic, whether it's Area, Group, or Clan, the mics seem to get more quiet and it can be very hard to hear people at times.
- Private Chat Invite. But it doesn't seem to do anything? Trick mentioned during a live stream that it was a feature intended with the first DLC but it never quite made it in
- Clan Founders can't leave their clans. So if someone made a clan and is the only one in the clan they can't leave the clan and disband the clan.
- North Point Volge Siege stuck glitch. I removed this one on accident a while back but this is now been fixed for good! Fixed
- Northeast Madera Major Arkfall Location and Mother of All Hellbugs glitch. A fairly common issue with Mother of All Hellbugs type Major Arkfall in this location. On the final fight with the Matron, when the Matron dies, the Arkfall does not end. Not sure what causes it but I notice the timer doesn't come up at the end, as you kill the Matron, when this bug occurs.
- Prosperity in 99 Minor Arkfall Bug. The Pulverizer doesn't always drop off the 99er Pulverizer enemies when you kill them.
- Synergy Mod Display Bug. This has been creating quite a stir around the forums lately. There is a bug which is removing the tag of what synergy the mod is off the mod once you equip it to the weapon. However these mods' synergies STILL WORK. But you can't see the synergies once you put them on a weapon even if you retrieve the mods. Really needs a fix! Fixed
- Certain weapons not recieving nanos. Since patch 1.105 there are at least 8 weapons I know of which are not spawing with nanos naturally. They are...
FRC Particle Repeater
VOT Surge Bolter
VBI PSR-7 Cyclone
VOT Pulser
FRC Berserker Shotgun
FRC Particle Scattergun
VBI CS-X Clustershot
VBI SO-2 Courier
- White Launch Scope I appearing in specials and rewards. This scope for Rocket Launchers has been appearing in vendor specials and mission/hotshot rewards when it should not be.
- Pump Shotgun Reloads. You can't cancel the reload by shooting anymore post patch with the first DLC. The only way to stop loading the weapon is to aim down the sights, roll, or melee. This happens with not only all of the Pump Shotguns but also with any other weapons that load one round at a time such as the Armada RL.
- Pistol Ammo Issue. When you refill at an ammo crate, you only get 150 rounds because it used to be the old cap on pistol ammo, when you should be getting filled to 250 rounds.
- Brawler shields not working. Haven't tested this myself yet but according to this thread Brawler shield are not giving the melee bonus they are supposed to.
- FRC Interceptor RL. At times the projectiles from it don't stick to targets and sometimes they don't even explode.
- VOT Rebounder Cannon Lag. Using this weapon causes A LOT of lag especially in co-ops. It's only with the Rebounder Cannon. Other similar RLs like the Swarm Cannon or Mass Cannon don't do it.
- Synergy nano converters and catalyst injectors are not available at all now post first DLC. The only ones that are are Shotgun nano converters, and even then, the pricing on them seems really messed up. These really need to be added to the Mod Vendors and should be available all the time. These mods are going to be almost impossible to find if they're not.
- FRC Particle Ultimag. For some reason, this weapon never comes with any Mod Slots open when you loot one from any source, and also don't come with a white bonus roll either. Fixed
- Rebel Contender II D Green Rarity shields never have an EGO requirement. Strange one but yeah I noticed it and it only happens with this exact shield even if you are 5K EGO and loot one.
- Fragnova Pro-55Z Grenades exist in the game but they show up as a Fragnova Std-55Z. The same EGO Fragnova Std-55Zs can have different Max and Min DMG stats.
- 8% Damage on Next Shot After a Kill Mastery on an Orange. I have this mastery bonus on several Orange weapons. It doesn't work as intended. It only works after a Melee Kill.
* This was tested with snipers, ARs, and pistols. However a friend says his Armada Rocket Launcher has this bonus and it does work properly on that. In further testing it appears that this mastery bonus only works with weapons that shoot projectiles. Anything that is hitscan (shoots bullets) with this mastery does not work.
