Steam release candidate feedback (bugs)

Is it intended that MG turrets still try to aim at you when you are sitting ontop of it, its not firing just trying to get me in its crasshair.

 

MORE BUGS:
- player skills (can confirm arty-feedback) randomly don't work, even though they show as activated. (reclassing or switching skill-slots solves it for me)

- when u go into ironsight mode and then press Q (quick weapon switch), your view can get shacky (zomming a bit in and stuttering)

 

I made my own game with all research complete option on and it didn't change anything, and when I voted myself into comm I spawned in front of the cv and not in it. I also have gotten the problem where no matter what group you have the first group always fires.

 

Yea thats a common bug in 2.30 as well. It is 100% guaranteed to happen with the BE CV on slaughtered and some other maps. Probably has something to do with the bug that stops you entering the CV half the time.

 

is it just because empires is not realy steam integrated or is there a txt missing?

 

crash

Crash dump from shortly after loading duststorm.
http://explodie.org/empiresmod/hl2_4104_crash_2011_1_29T22_42_37C0.mdmp
http://explodie.org/empiresmod/hl2_emp_purevirt__22_42_30__1_29_2011.mdmp

Both files have the timestamp of the crash. I don't know which you want, so you can have both.

 

The (small) icon also seems to also be missing compared to 2.30 so I assume there is still stuff that hasn't been added.

I also experienced difficulty getting the game menu to change to 16:10 aspect ratio and 1280x800 resolution - it refused the first few attempts... not sure why - might be my system

 

I assume the devs just haven't got around to change this for now.

 

It will get updated after the release.

 

Bugs from the test on 31th Jan, 9:00 GMT.

All probably known, i list them here so there is no excuse

• at the new mvalley, the dam refinary has an error texture instead of smoke.
• the heavy rifle is the default gun for the rifleman class. (Trickster:" I want it this way").
• when you sit in the hatch of the APC your view is stuck pointing down.
• when you leave your tank immediately before it gets blown you can get stuck in the dead tank model.(old?)

Also i noticed Empires is missing an icon with the right size for Steam Grid view:

 

Wow. You posted the #1 most useless bug I have ever seen.

It's not out on steam, ergo, no icon.

 

That's just the way to get new players, insult and degrade the current ones. (That's the ticket)

 

It's working for MOOtant

 

Touché.

 

I see, will there be an icon magically created when Empires is uploaded to the Valve ftp? Or do we have one in that size already? If yes then put it on the current test build, if no - it needs to be done. Faggot.

 

No, actually, Kylegar is sort of wrong here. The steam test version has icons, but it's missing that grid one. The other list and details few both have icons. That bug has been in our tracker for some time. I hope someone fixed it before we released.

 

Bio is still broken from 2.25. The weapons themselves deal no damage to vehicles, only the bio.
i.e. You can set bio ml/mg damage to 99999 and one shot buildings and infantry, but only deal bio damage to tanks.

 

its always been like that, i figured it was intentional.

 

Is it the same for Bio MG?
So that doesn't matter if you fire one bullet or 20? It will still just do the damage over time?

 

Trickster: Do you guys need one of those grid icons made up? If so, what pxl dimensions does it need to be...If I get some free time i may be able to put something together.

Pm me if you do.
