Recon Update Issues Feedback Thread

@Badusername Give it a rest, will you? I get it, you’re disappointed with the game. We don’t need to see it every 5 minutes.

People, let’s stick with reporting feedback on the issues prevalent in this update.

//Mod

The game still crashes at random times every 5-10 minutes. The update has not solved my problem with crashes.

No, that still happens. The person that reported the issue on Discord showed them spawning from a dead hunter. Sucks this wasnt fixed.

I may excuse me beforehand if I might sound a bit rude now, but I’m totally pissed off !

A 14.8 GB update… of hot air as it seems…

    • Ticks still spawn like hell from machines, no matter of dead or functional
    • missiles/grenades from enemies mostoften don’t reach their target and seem to get visually frozen in midair (btw the sound, too)
    • If I get near a FNIX CP the usual sound stuttering begins (alarm sirens) or I’m greeted with fireworks sounds, etc.
    • the game crashed to desktop one time shortly after getting near to a base
    • the game got frozen/unresponsible 2 times while trying to use the recycling station of course after getting near to a FNIX CP

SO for me it’s the same shit as before, maybe even worse because of the possible new CPs in the south coast region. But I won’t touch the S Coast any more to not let them spawn there.

Maybe I’ll try again to destroy a CP, but the last times I couldn’t destroy the shield generators because they didn’t open whatever I tried. And with being prone to crash when getting near a base the chances are even lower, I guess

Well… yeah, rant over I guess.

So thx for not fixing anything (as it seems) but main thing to bring some more of the main reason for the lately erratic game behaviour, namely FNIX control points !

And I’m still asking myself who were all these players that wanted that kind of stuff ?? And where are all these players now ? Or do they not have all these problems and we are the (vocal) minority here ?
Questions over questions…

My 2 ct. but as always ymmv

No, you’re right. This seems to be the general impression so far.

Bit of a shame, really. I’d like to get back to GZ soon.

I haven’t tried yet, but for now it seems

  1. to have brought 4 new reasons for the crashes they announced to be fixed (which aren’t),
  2. didn’t even mention the disappearing machines in the patch log, which was announced to be fixed and
  3. introduced a new feature with changes for crafting, which doesn’t work properly or at all.

Nice work.

The way of destroying this wonderful game continues.

Maybe they just hear to some people on discord or twitter and don’t do that on serious discussions in the official forum? Or the polls they are refering to got bombed by some or many trolls :man_shrugging:

I keep wondering about that, too.

But I will give the update a try later this day and add my experiences in the poll above and as a post.

Have updated my game via steam. After i acceptetd the Eula the tape deck on the lower right side runs and the music runs but nothing more happened. It didn’t proceed further to the MAin Menue of the game. Has anyone an idea. It runs since 15 minutes but nothing more happens. Has anyone an idea ? Or has anyone the same issue?

Ive seen a few reports on Discord that the game turns into infinite loading after accepting the EULA. Not sure of any fix currently.

Thanks, that seems to be a new isssue.

Crashed within a couple of minutes on Series X. First fast-travel saw my HUD disappear, first firefight saw some weird frame stuttering, then infinite ticks and finally a crash.

Also, I seem to be missing 3 Soviet blueprints now (not sure if they’re new ones). There is also an empty mission prompt when my game loads.

To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement.

Second attempt. 5 mins before it crashed while on the map.

Rockets often still pass through enemies, enemy AI is a mess and approaching enemy corpses can still inflict damage.

I’ve not read the patch notes yet, but I’m assuming the 32Gb update did something positive.

Third attempt

Infinite ticks, enemy rockets just sticking in the floor, corpses you can’t loot / take damage from and gnomes.

If I didn’t see it actually update with my own eyes I wouldn’t have believed anything had changed.

Edit:
I forgot the constant airstrike / fireworks at FNIX bases. They’re still present for me too.

Some are saying that this is due to mods. It gets to the mod line and freezes so delete the mod line and see what happens

We all want this game to succeed, but with the way the last few updates have gone, it won’t. The bugs simply outshine the new additions.

If ya’ll focused an update purely on bug fixes, not adding anything new or QoL, I think most of us would be fine with that.

I also think the control points need to be overhauled. Only have 2-3 in each region, with less player bases and FNIX bases active at once. It seems like a lot of issues are coming from that.

Ok.
Started the game and almost everything was fine. (safehouses still gone)

Attacked the cp eastern of boo and the command bunker. Everything went good and I was able to destroy it.

Then I went to cp Broängen, western of boo.
Just short before I was able to see it, I heard the turrets. I was able to destroy a few of them from distance, but then the game crashed.

Now playing borderlands 3 and hoping for a hotfix… Again.

In my opinion one per region is enough.

You cant mod the game on any XBox model. The same I believe is true on Playstation models.

I have attempted to attack several bases within the several months these bases have been out for some time. Yet I’ve crashed 6 to 7 times while trying to clear out the bases then the bases resets and I have to redo it and I crash. Now I don’t know Big Wigs up there who think “oh this is a great game right now” and for those people who say “this is perfect” just accept the game is broken.

I bought this game back when covid hit and I’d like it then. But now it is basically unplayable there are too many dead zones meaning your game will crash if you enter them many of my friends complain about this issue too. And I for one am in the same boat.

I’ve completed the story. I completed the DLCs. where is the rest of it? I know most of the lore. But I am always looking for more. like the FOA’s bases.

Now I get it I have an Xbox One not any of the newer stuff hell my friends have the Xbox One S or series X and they still crash while investigating towns and bases.

So if it is my graphics card then it’s my card or their card but when I can’t go into the main town without crashing my game. Like it used to be able to go into the town and bases.

Then it’s something to do with these bases fix the problem please and thank you if you fix these issues this game will be playable my friends and I will appreciate it.

I recommended it to my friends when it was great and we actually played through the Campaign together and we had no crashes. Then the bases came and it went all the hell. Please fix it and you will have a group of people who would love it.

There is my 2 cents on the matter

But I get you… or at least I think so…

And sorry, but I have to ask…

You are complaining about the unplayable state of the game (like all of us here, no question) but at the same time you want more new content ( the mysterious “island”…) ? Really ??

Ok. :man_shrugging:

I’d be more in for a serious bug fixing session now and to hell with any new content until that’s fixed.
Plus a reduction of the number of FNIX CPs…

My 2 ct. but ymmv

How is it that this stuff gets through testing? That is presuming that testing before release is done.
The infinite tick bug which causes nearly all the crashes was heralded as being fixed. It wasn’t.
It also seems that changes to some crafting doesn’t work either.
One can only assume that all the PC’s and consoles in the Dev’s office display a game that works perfectly but then suddenly they release a version of the game with all the bugs intact.
This update has added a few small bits and pieces (making it even more complicated) but fixed nothing.
Where are the control systems within the Dev’s office?

Yes, this is fairly negative, but it is a negativity brought about by experience. Virtually every update not working as intended does tend to bring about negativity.
