Januari Hotfix Summary of bugs and wishes to be looked at

Support and Bug Reports
1

@madchaser I will create a wiki here, where we can add bugs and other things that players want to have fixed if possible for the January Hotfix. You are more knowledgeable about weapons, ammo and assault stuff, so I would like to invite you and others to add the summary wiki.

But keep the decryptions of the bug short and instead link to the various bug reports so it will be easier for the devs to see what the main wishes are.

hotfix

High Priority

missions

  • People are not able to finish the mission “Exclusion Zone” and can’t therefore finish the showdown storyline. Bug report here

  • People seem to be unable to finish the bravo mission at the security office. Targets don’t appear or don’t count for the mission goal, Klas don’t calls in and the door to the security office safehouse doesn’t open. Bug report here

multiplayer

  • Used placeable items cannot be seen by other players in multiplayer, like field radios, fireworks, etc.

  • Some exp weapons and their effects cannot be seen by other players in multiplayer (experienced with exp Meusser, exp HP5, …)

  • The vultures phases with spawning Lynx, turrets, gas can’t be seen by guests, just by the host.
    Multiplayer Vulture weapon drops only visible to host player - #3 by Mi_KA_1_777

ressources / crafting

  • There should be more ways to get the new ressources without doing base defense missions, higher amounts while doing base defense, adjusted costs for crafting adrenaline, advanced first aid kits, experimental ammo… Should be possible without building bases/ doing base defenses

  • There must be higher rewards of uranium. 100 uranium used during a medium base defense and just got 9 refined uranium. 1 refined uranium is needed for just 60 rounds exp shock ammo

loot

  • There seems to be a considerable reduction in the chance of obtaining any type of experimental weapon from rivals and base assaults post Showdown update.

  • There should be a chance to get some experimental ammo for the carried weapons from rivals and especially tyrants. These ammo types are expensive and would be a great reward… Either to use them later or to recycle them for the new ressources to be able to craft other stuff with it.

  • There is a weird behaviour with loot, where loot is missing in the inventory or doesn’t count to the total weight, especially with characters with all skills. See reports below in this topic.

companion

UI / UX

  • Statistics still don’t work correctly for all worlds and characters, since we got the 4 worlds years ago.

Medium Priority

companion

  • Some people reported their Companion missing. Bug report here

  • Skins: 2 of the 14 announced new Companion skins which drop from machines, seem not to drop for anybody.
    These 12 skins we all found: tiger, shale, byzantine, azure, sage, ochre, goldenrod, desert, dazzle, stealth, cinnabar, and miami. Why are the other two not also in Rival loot?

machines

storages

  • Filters still don’t work correctly or even cause crashes.

UI / UX

Low Priority (but highly appreciated)

UI / UX

  • Map: Please consider to make small dirt paths more visible with thin red-ish lines, like it was before the showdown map revamp. Now they are almost invisible.

  • Missing fun new things to find in “the worlds Remote Areas”, meaning away from the beaten path. Like new camps: birdhouses, boats, loot in empty caves, bodies scenes, more surprise 5c weapons, new posters, strange loot caches, etc.

  • Please make the snow event repeat automatically more often, like every 4 weeks for about 2 weeks… Like a feature for changing seasons. It’s so beautiful with all the snow. But make it optional, because some people like nice green and sunlit pastures more.

  • Some people would love the Lazercykel arcade game to really work.

Thanks @Madchaser for your addition. :point_left:

I believe to balance things out, a buff to crafting if it doesn’t require too much work would make sense, so that when you grind for very little in return the ammout you can craft with it would actually be worth it.

Can we get the companions to stop having the zoomies so often? They regularly unseat you when on a moped, launch you into the air when you’re not, and destroy your mopeds so you have to repair it constantly.

Oops @madchaser, I wish you had said that you already made a summary topic. I didn’t know. It must have blurred in with all of the Bug reports, so it missed that. :coffee:

There seems to be a considerable reduction in the chances of obtaining any type of experimental weapon from rivals and base assaults after the update has been installed. Many, many players have experienced and made comments about this issue.

Never mind.
Your approach of setting a priority is good, although they will priorize the issues themselves.

By us setting the priority, we’re telling them what is ruining our enjoyment of their game, which should tell them what is important to those who should be seen as most important: the players.

Make sure to do a copy paste of our Topic @Gysbert
let them know all these issues, because they are the ones that happen more often.

I was playing around with the firework boxes today with a friend, and we both realized that we couldn’t see each other fireworks. We both restarted and rejoin, but we still couldn’t see each others. It would be great if someone else could test this out. A little disappointing that we wouldn’t be able to enjoy a big fireworks display on Christmas day.

Which topic is “our” topic? If you mean Madchasers bug summary topic, he should decide if he wants to do that.

13

That was already listed.
Every placeable item is affected.

I dont know anyone who looted the ‘Big Cat’ or ‘Small Cat’ voice boxes? Were they ever added to a loot pool?

15

They are in the loot pool. They should be called Beast and Kitten I believe, can be found on Reg machines and in toolboxes like the rest of the Voice Boxes

I do have beast, and my mate also got the small cat.

Nevertheless, for all the new cosmetics it would have been nice to have a list with their names and their icons to be able to check them.

All placed companion skins do exist, and the one not listed here should be located at Pärlsjöns Friluftsomrade in the Forest Region. It is the ‘Tiger’ Paint job. And for the Rival dropped paint jobs, could it be said which ones are known so i can confirm if the ones that are thought to not be dropping are indeed dropping

Thanks @Indominus-J

Tiger, shale, byzantine, azure, sage, ochre, goldenrod, desert, dazzle, stealth, cinnabar, miami

These are the new skins I have. 2 are missing probably those that drop from regular machines. If you have those, you could maybe post a pic with those two on it, if you like.

Btw I was just on the road towards Lerberget, where the purple and green spot are. Now for me, only the green spot is left, and the cargo that had fallen out of the stage gear truck, like a guitar and stuff which were spread out on the road, are gone too.

Can anybody confirm that these parts of the scene are removed?

Same for me, i have all the others. I gained several levels during this update, seems odd none of the “regular” skins dropped for me, maby they just have extreemly low drop rate, I also looted every toolbox i saw with no luck. Still feels like someone should have looted at least one of them by now…

I looted the ‘beast’ voice box but nothing named ‘Small Cat’ or ‘Big Cat’, thoose seem to have a very low droprate, wich is fair I suppose. Beast sounds nothing like a big cat though, more like a warthog? Not sure of they are the same?
