Dark Clan Forum

Hello guys,
I worked many hours on a new thread about UT3 bugs.
There is a 1.4 request thread in Epic's forum which has 65 pages.
I read it nearly complete and picked up the most important information (for me).
Then I added some bugs which I experience.
Just take a look :)

Thanks ;)

Greets

Thanks man!

Something to the hoverboard bug:
I did not mentioned Containment because I promised it Vegas^^
I think it is very easy to use this bug and when I show some official maps, the guys could try and use it on official maps.
(I mean it is not a map glitch so why post it on official maps?)

10. Driving with Goliath over barricades:
I would say it's a bug, yes.
Maybe RPGWizard meant the big barricades which need the redeemer or C4 to get destroyed.
He did not answer until now.

Greets

Nightmare: I did not mentioned Containment because I promised it Vegas^^

Thanx Dude!

aka_sova: I replied there :)

No thanx here!!(!) Could you please remove XXX from your post?! All those noobs will search for a similar place like on the screenshot, and its not hard to find! I don't want anyone to leave the base in 5 seconds!
...pls and maybe afteron also a thx ^^

Edit: thx ^^

Version 1.1 has been released:
- added more explanation to #22
- changed #2, #20
- added #24, #25, #26, #27

Greets

ok thanks.
Did it take a long time to load the site because of the screens?
Or was it ok?
I think the screenshots are much better than before because it could suck if you always have to click on them.

Greets

Was ok, but there are no full resolution links. Great list, but I don't know where I could contribute something... Boh.

yeah! Now the screens are much better, clicking annoying :)

Good, thanks :)


What exactly do you mean?
All screenshots are resized and if you click on them, they will be in full resolution.
(your "but" confused me^^)

Edit:
And btw:
The "UT3 Patch 1.4 Request Thread" has been updated, too:
http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=617750 (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=617750)

It's not my thread but I took the time to create a summary of many wishes and requests.
I'll manage and update it as well.

Greets

Thanks :)
Yes, it is.

To #5 (I wrote it in the other thread, too):

"OK I think that was my mistake.
Seems that I completely forgot the Join button.

Hmm the problem with the spectate button is,
that some unfair players would quickly change to the spec mode to search the enemy flag carrier.
Then they will join again and go to him.
(I mean no one can know what the spectator is doing).
Maybe it would be fair if there is a delay of 30 seconds!?
A normal player won't often change from player to spectator.

But well, you also could join the game as spectator, search something and become active...
(If you are unfair^^).

I guess I'll mark #5 as already available or will change it to spectator button."

BTW: I wonder why I wrote "you" instead of "they" - but you know I meant not "YOU" ;)  finger1

Thanks again for supporting my threads :)

Edit
I posted it in the thread as well:

"To the spec button:
Ok, I make a suggestion:
There can be a spec button and you always can go from player to spec and vica versa under one condition:
The flag carriers can't be spectated.
I even think if the free movement should be disabled, too.
The argumentation:
You have a good place where you can hide and the enemies can't find you.
And then comes a spec and sees everything and your secret is not a more a secret.
It would be too easy if an enemy player changes to spec and just searches for you.
I'm sure many players would do this...

So that's the deal:
Spec button = yes, spectating flag carriers (+ free movement) = no.
Yes I know it is very interested to spectate and of course to see what the flag carriers do, but it simply could be unfair as mentioned."

Greets

Yeah, you're right... I was sure I tried to enlarge 1 pic and it didn't work... great and clear list, good work!

What do you think about my latest post?

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25610471#post25610471 (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25610471#post25610471)

I really think the hoverboard must be changed.
That would fix many bugs at a time!
There are plenty of maps with these gravity settings where you will be drawn back.

And the scorpion's auto aim sux as well against the hoverboard.

Greets

Scorpions auto aim against Hover? Whats that feature, I never mentioned the scorp not shooting where I was aiming... or do you mean the offline auto-aim? Never used that...

The scorpion is very strong against Manta and other vehicles.
When you shoot, you needn't to aim exactly because the fire will touch the Manta.
(Big radius).
The same is with the hoverboard.
You hit an enemy too easy.
If he isn't on the hoverboard, you have to aim more exactly.
And I think it is only because the hoverboard is set as vehicle.

Has nothing to do with offline or online.

Greets

Hi nightmare, i've leave a post in ur UT3-bug-list-thread by epic. And i confirm the difference between hoverboard / by foot. The manta killing potential is not so unintelligible, the Manta is a true pedestrian killer and he has to have a weak point.

Hi, thanks! :)

I'll check these things.
Some of them are requests, but no problem, there is also a request thread that I manage, too.

@Vegas:
You can change the Framerate Smoothing here:
X:\Documents and Settings\user name\My documents\My Games\Unreal Tournament 3\UTGame\Config
Open the UTEngini.ini and simply search with ctrl+f for smo.
Then you should be here and can increase the FPS maximum:
[Engine.GameEngine]
bSmoothFrameRate=TRUE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=22.000000
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=60.000000
bClearAnimSetLinkupCachesOnLoadMap=TRUE
LocalPlayerClassName=Engine.LocalPlayer

I don't know what your aim is, but just do it^^

Greets

Problem solved. If you put "LAN" as your connection there is no 90fps smoothing... I like my 280 far better ^^

I think this depends on how many spiders were used, a spidermine either dissappears when the time is over or when all spider inside (ca. 10, I think) are used.

No, I think they stay also if many are used (I think on some nightshade-necropolis-rampage or on spiders in the base in sandstorm)

...but if they are placed near the spiders spawnpoint in sand they may disappear pretty soon. So maybe its a combination of time and if players are near the mines???

Hi all,
Thanks again for supporting me.
I may need your help this weekend because I want to test some things and recreate some bugs, too.
For example the Nightshade bug (which you showed in your video, where the scavenger had the shield and so on).

Vegas:
#2: I wonder why I didn't write it until now because I always see this and think it's a very stupid ping information.
Will be added in my bug list! thx

#4: I tried it right now but I didn't get it.
I was red and placed this translocator module on my own flag.
Then I ran to the blue flag, took it and tried to teleport... but I lost the flag - no score.
I think I did not hit the exact hole where my own flag stands...
I'll try it again.

Greets

If this bug with translocator works it's...it's awful O_o

Just take a look at blody.benders video at 2:00 onwards
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN3uZjvqS7s&eurl=http://ut3darkclan.awardspace.com/Videos.html (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN3uZjvqS7s&eurl=http://ut3darkclan.awardspace.com/Videos.html)

ok I watched the video and don't understand where the problem is.
He places his translocator module near the enemy flag, takes the enemy flag, scores and teleports to the enemy flag again.
What's the bug?
It is a nice method and I don't see a problem.
BTW: Couldn't an enemy player destroy your translocator module? Sorry, I never play CTF...

Greets

Oooops, you are right! I didn't watch carefully! -.-
I just saw him scoring and the teleport, thought... ...maybe I should stop thinking  :-\

I'll edit the post in your epic threat too! Shame! ^^

No problem, happens ;)

I show you my current "to do"-list for version 1.3:

#17
it only shows it from the SERVER option in the browser - it doesnt work if you are in favorites or History (pls fix!)

#31 Joining as spectator and then become active causes standard colors instead of team colors

If you join a team match (TDM, CTF, V-CTF or Warfare) as a spectator and become active,
you won't have your team color (blue or red).
You will just have your normal skin color which could cause confusing.

#32 Nightshade sometimes shows wrong mines in its weapon tab.

You want to drop the spider mines but get a shield or other things.
Scrolling with mouse does not help.
You have to press the 1-4 keys.

Firing the Avril at an SPMA's camera is supposed to result in the rocket redirecting to the SPMA once it gets close to the camera, but often it just hits the camera instead. //- have to check it: difficult for me

hellbender stucks in inv objects. downtown //- someone said it but no idea if there really is a problem.

I don't know if he becomes invincible, too.

Greets

Nightshade sometimes shows wrong mines in its weapon tab.

You want to drop the spider mines but get a shield or other things.
Scrolling with mouse does not help.
You have to press the 1-4 keys.


Sounds familiar ^^

...I don't get the invisibility bug. Is the player invisible (for others) because he hides behind a texture or can he move around?

He is invisible but can't do anything.
The advantage would be that you can camp and no one can see you.
No idea if you take any damage if they would shoot.

Greets

Even pushing numbers buttons in nightshade doesn't help sometimes.

Your're right.
I often had this problem when I hijacked a nightshade.
Maybe a "new/unused" nightshade doesn't have these problems... no idea.

Greets

Version 1.3 is online now:
I hope you will like the changes:

- added bugs:
31. Joining as spectator and then become active causes standard colors instead of team colors
32. Nightshade sometimes shows wrong mines in its weapon tab
33. Link Gun primary fire does not exactly match the crosshair
34. Wrong ping information before the round starts
35. Player can get invisible if he feigns death on some objects
36. Hoverboard is not a real vehicle but has properties of a real vehicle
37. Hoverboard dodge does not work if you dodge before
38. The player model's hands do not touch the handlebars in vehicles or turrets
39. Nightshade can forward its attachments to other vehicles

- changed bugs:
#2, #12, #25, #17

- added an overview
- changed size and names of screenshots (better for me)
- updated credits

Nightmare, you have to me employed by Epic, really :D

I think, we should open a thread on the Epic-Site with only one wish: "EPIC: Employ Nightmare85!" Perhaps it's sound crazy, but I'm serious: We can try it. Nightmare is a great fan of our prefered game, none a yammering carper, but a constructive and precisely observer. He spend many time and a lot of work to collect all this bugs and errors. We all don't feel this devotion from Epic... So I propose with honest emphasis: Let's do it!

Lol, I think they don't like his work  embarrassed2
...Epic would prefer not to work on bugs.... but those fastidious posts... much better if he sent the finished patches 1.1, .2, .3., .4 etc  tonguesmiley.png

They don't like my work and I don't like them - so it's okay :D

Greets

Let's wait until the release of patch 1.4.
Then we know if they seriously work on UT3...

I hope it!

P.S. They want to release an expansion pack, but I prefer the fixing of bugs!

Greets

hurry nightmare, they are hiring people ^^

Can you please post the nightshade bug that Vegas found out?

Greets

haha, gf@z made screens too.

Ok thanks, and how does it work?^^

Greets

ok, 1st i was with the nightshade on the dw
2nd i started to lay a mine
3d the darkwalker walks away
4th i float there until i finish to lay the mine (what doesn't work if you had chosen the slow field)

...this "bug" bothers me most of all bugs, it makes the game so unfair ^^
Such things happen only in fun-training sessions =)

Hi,
Can you confirm 2 things, please?
The first is this:
http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85_2/ut3/bugs/45_weapon_list.jpg (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85_2/ut3/bugs/45_weapon_list.jpg)

The second is that I never see the name of the flag scorer.
For example Wojci has the flag.
I read it if he takes/drops or returns the (enemy) flag.
I never can read if he scores.
I only can see my name if I score.
"Nightmare85 scores for blue/red".
It is even not possible for me to read it in the console if another player scores.

Greets

About first one i can say nothing, about the second issue i usually press F1 to see who carries the flag, so i have to decide the methods i kill him  Crazysmile1 But that really sucks, that you can't know who scored after he scored already :S Annoying.

ok thanks!

Yes, I always view the scoreboard to see who is carrying the flag.
The problem is that even a look in the console does not show who scored.

The first one is just the weapon priority list in settings -> weapons.
It was okay some versions ago, but now there are unneeded and wrong lines.

Greets

Don't get paranoia, there may be just an error cause you changed your weapon prefrences or keys.
Look here, its how it should be:

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/1007/ut32008111601304675xg2.th.jpg)(http://img185.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif) (http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ut32008111601304675xg2.jpg)

(http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/9210/ut32008111601305059ef9.th.jpg) (http://img185.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ut32008111601305059ef9.jpg)(http://img185.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif)

...Actually there is kind of an error in the weapon key settings... time ago I didn't realize how to switch to vehicles secondary fire mode (eg: bender or goliath turrets). That was because I set other weapon shortcuts instead of enforcer and hammer (keys 1 & 2).
Now also the swap vehicle position keys have been moved and I couldn't understand why... til someone told me I should just press 1 or 2, then I got suspect  Confused2

Another fastidous thing that came just in my mind:
I hate the original crosshairs!!!! But if I change to custom ones I can't see anymore the symbol that appears if someone grapples a vehicle and I cannot see how many rockets are charged.
Is there a way to change the original crosshairs to a dot or a small semitransparent sphere with a dot and still keeping the additional functionality of the original settings? Maybe change some alpha on the bitmaps?
Thx for any advices!

To my weapon list problem:
I will try to set the default order.

To your key 1 and 2 problem:
So it now still does not work for you to switch the seats in vehicles by pressing 1 and 2?
Hmm I think 1 and 2 have to be "switchWeapon 1 and 2".

To your crosshair problem:
Did you open the UTWeapon.ini?
Maybe there is a possibility.
At least I see
CrosshairColor=(R=255,G=255,B=255,A=255)

BTW:
Maybe I have the weapon list problem because I deleted the UTWeapon.ini and my list is saved online.
So there could be a conflict.
I will analyze it today.

Greets

No, I can switch between vehicle seats because I set weapon 1 & 2 to their original keys.

Crosshair: I resized the crosshair to be pretty small and switched the color to yellow, but its just the size and color. I can also use different custom shapes as crosshair, but as said before, the additional functions below the crosshair disappear (most important in vctf is the indicator if someone grapples your vehicle)

Hi!

As promised the version 1.4 is online now.
The change log:

added bugs:
- 40. Nightshade can float
- 41. Hellbender's physics are bad
- 42. Cicada can lose its locked target while moving
- 43. Total Conversions crash if specific parameters are used
- 44. Deployable Energy Shield does not completely block splash damage
- 45. Unneeded lines in the weapon priority list
- 46. Flag scorer is not visible for others
- 47. Redeemer ceiling bug
- 48. Picking up weapon attachments while shooting gives an unfair advantage
- 49. Vehicles do not always change their skin properly when destroyed

changed bugs:
- 1: only an optical change
- 5: more details
- 19: more details and screenshots
- 21: optical change
- 31: changed title
- 33: more text

and of course updated credits.

Version 1.5 will come more quickly than 1.4 because I wanted to include somethings but I did not get it (little time).
I will include as well some bugs that you mentioned.
You can remember me if I forgot something important.
(A lot of information here^^)

Thanks again for your perfect support.

Greets

Thanks guys.

@Sova's Question:
The tank is strong, yes.
However, if you shoot some metres away (what would mean the damage should be little), you still deal damage to the enemy which is in the Energy Shield.
The Paladin is strong, too.
Its direct shots, which are definitely stronger that the indirect shots of the Goliath, don't deal any damage.
So I think the problem is the Energy Shield that cannot block any splash damage (no matter if much or little).

I'll write it in Epic's Forum, too, because it seems that the thread is slowly dying :( :(
Tomorrow or so.

Greets

This thread will not die, there are a lot of more bugz to fix  Crazysmile1

Nightmare, do you want shield to block the goliath shooting? Like as it hits the shield, it explodes there, right? Actually the true is on your side - it should deny it, like it denies my redeemer when it's passing through the shield.

I saw a further thing that is annoying me:
In the player list you can see only the playing time or the ping if there are few players! If there are more (I think more than 6 per team) the lines decrease in size and only the name and clantag are shown.

I know, its not a bug, but you could post it as a request to show always this infos (maybe also number of deaths in vctf?)

@aka_sova:
The Redeemer can't pass the shield?
(I did not try it).
Hmm but if you release the Redeemer near the Shield, the vehicles and enemies (which are in the Shield) will get destroyed, too, because the damage radius is big.

@VegasKill:
Sure :)
I think I could update the requests thread this week-end.

Greets

Nightmare, yes, i failed 2 times with redeemer (second time forgot about experience from the first try).

In Necro on the nemesis spawn and near the boots was shield and i came with demer to kick some asses at the flag. But i got kicked like a little pussy by this shield  cry2 This shield is very strange...

I replied in Epic's Forum.

Question to all:
Can anyone of you activate OpenAL (sound settings in UT3) without renaming any files to avoid crashes?
I have to rename 1 file (wrap_oal.dll).
Ok, but this is not the main question.

I always played with OpenAL.
Since I had some problems, I deactivated it.
Now I hear the sound "Defend your core" in Warfare matches.
I'm absolutely sure that I never heard it when my OpenAL was activated.

So the main quesion is:
Are sounds missing if OpenAL is activated?

P.S. My thought was that maybe not OpenAL is the problem, but the renamed file... (I cannot check it because of the crashes - X-Fi)

Greets

I have disactivated OpenAl since it didn't reproduce the sound correctly (totally unusable on my last pc and wrong 3D orientation with my actual soundchip)
The sounds were altered...maybe I can take a look if some are missing too...

Ok, it tryed it and it works with OpenAl disabled too.

Really disabled or enabled?  ???
Because it is normal that you hear the sounds if OpenAL is disabled.
I cannot hear them if I enable it.
Damn, I would need to deactivate my X-Fi and activate my onBoard sound.
I bet it has something to do with the 2 files that I have to rename.
_________

Do you know the "neck breaker" in UT3? :D
Perfect for self-owns  >:D
But it even works if you turn on the God Mode in offline mode.
I think it happened to me when a Viper carried me in Necropolis when I had the flag.
My head hit something and I suddenly died and Blax laughed (as spectator).

That's the post:
http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25747248#post25747248 (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?p=25747248#post25747248)

Greets

I know the "neck breaker", it happened to me in deck on the bridge...

The sound problems may be because of the changed files. Anyways, software sound will always play all kind of sounds.

Try to keep the files changed and switch to software sound (/no OpenAL), maybe you won't hear "defend your core" in this case too.

Good idea, I'll try it.

Greets

Still the same.
I guess I only can confirm it as bug if I deactive my sound card.
I don't need sound to test if the sounds are played because I see the text in the console.

Many guys said there are problems with demos in UT3.
What exactly does not work?
I would include it in my list.

Greets

Demos like demo recordings of a game you mean?
Well, try to record one as client, you won't see much  :'(
Maybe some people around the place you stand will be on your demo, but they may also disappear soon -.-
...I didn't try it a second time as it didn't work correctly.

Ok, that means only the server can make useful demos?
As client you will see the map/environment but players could/will quickly disappear?
Did I get it?
If yes, then I would write it in my thread.

I think I'll release one or max. 2 more updates, and then I'll make a break.
It has no sence to post 100 bugs if the game updates come very late or never xD.
That means 2 more bugs and we have the magic 50 bugs which should be enough :D
(#45 is clear!)

Edit
I sent some friends invitations in Epic's forum.
Darkredfox accepted it already.
Now I'm waiting for Vegas and Sova^^

Greets

Ok, that means only the server can make useful demos? -> yes

As client you will see the map/environment but players could/will quickly disappear?-> items and weapons don't spawn correctle too, thats what I remember. That is may be for the reason to improve the server performance: only the relevant data is sent to each client (eg, what to I care about ppl in the enemy base if I am in my own base, far away. I'd be happyer to have a better ping instead of receiving informations the game won't show on my screen.).
Did I get it?-> Just type demorec (name.of.demo) in the console during an online game and watch it in the "Demoplayer"... its just a buggy feature too  wasted2

Now I'm waiting for Vegas and Sova^^-> Sova is not here @ the time, but I will accept  :)

As said my next thread version comes more quickly than the other.
It is not a huge update.
I think it is better to make small and quick changes than big changes which take much more time.

changelog of thread version 1.5:

- updated introduction text
- removed some text in 3rd post;
- changed bugs:
-- #4: more screenshots
-- #18: only a small title update
-- #22: only a small title update
-- #33: more screenshots
-- #42: screenshots (as promised)
-- #45: confirmed as clear
- added bugs:
-- #50: Client demo problems
- added 2 links
- updated credits

Thanks again for all help!! :)

Of course I will update it again as soon as possible with other bugs.

Haha, maybe they wouldn't finish thatone too if they had to fix all your buglist  ;D

I really hope UT4 will not come until 2010 (or better 2011)...
Let's see what that expansion will bring!
More bugs?
Well, my thread has still enough free space for new bugs :D :D
(Thank god that I created 3 posts as the 2nd also should be full soon. loool)

Greets

I created a new thread.
It is not about UT3 but about the forum settings of the Epic forum:
http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=640801 (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showthread.php?t=640801)

It is about the missing IMG-tag in General Chat part of the forum.
It sux that I can't use IMG-tags because threads with many screenshots will be huge in their MB size.
Would be nice if you enhance that opinion.
Epic forum's SHOT-tag is stupid, because it only resizes the images in their dimensions, but not in their file size.
My map glitches thread is over 22 MB.
If I could use my own thumbnails, it would be smaller than 4 MB.
The IMG thumbnails look nearly as same as the SHOT thumbnails, but are much more smaller!

Usually i have ping ~180 at most of the european servers. But today (actually one a month) i have awesome ping of 90-100, sometimes it reached 85. Why did it happen? Can i manage it somehow?

Was the server full when you had an 85 ping?
Sometimes I also have a good ping when there aren't many players on it.
When some servers are full, my ping rises up to 150.

Do you feel a better gameplay with the low ping?
Maybe it is a wrong information, who knows?
But if you feel that it is much better, then your ping should actually be as low as you said.
Was it the same server where you usually get a higher ping?

Greets

1) No, there were 10-12 players on the server
2) Yes, i feel gameplay better :)
3) I don't think it shows incorrect ping
4) no, this time it was joke.uk or smth like this. before this it happened on Jonestown (btw, what happened to this server?)

Hmm, sorry, I don't know where the problem could be :(

Hi guys :)
Yesterday I had an idea and today I had a lot of free time.
That means I already have transformed (umsetzen - anderes Wort??) it :)
I hope you like it.
I will add this to my main post the next days.

http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm)
(Beta version!)

There are 4 main advantages compared to the Epic forum:
1) The file size of the site is only around 2,7 MB instead of 31 MB because of the real thumbnails (#16 is the only exception)
2) The font and the colors may be more user friendly (not sure what exactly I can change in Epic forum)
3) Internal hyperlinks -> You can reach every bug faster and can quickly return to the overview
4) Simply more possibilities: no parts needed, no character limit, html code available etc.

The site is not that special, but I think it is enough and definitely better than Epic's forum.
I will make the site public after some days.

Maybe you can give some pieces of advice.
I was not sure about the dark :D background color.
I first wanted dark grey, but the black is not that bad.
And I think 2 images in a row are ok - should still look as in the forum.
(Not sure about different resolutions - 2 should completely be visible for many resolutions like 1280x1024)

Thanks for any help :)

P.S. The data content is the same as in the forum - I will update both synchronously.

Greets

Good idea that you (transformed-->) realized your buglist in form of an own web page!
Maybe you get your own submit bug and comment area too, or just make your own forum  ;)
Don't make it black, keep it 80-90% gray instead, thats more user friendly... Ur not gonna be a _Dark_ webmaster, aren't you?  ;D

Gj!

By the way, bug 33, the incorrect linkgun aim bug may be mentioned this way. Try to change to left hand weapon and I'll bet it will aim aim too much left. There is an .ini setting that you can change to centered or similar to correct your aim. I guess this "bug-feature" should keep your sight to the crosshair clear  laughanim2.gif !! No really, the rocket's smoke or link primary shots really hinder your sight if your aim is centered. Wish I could get rid of the rocket smoke somehow  ::)

Nice job! btw, i dunno when this happens, but i found one more bug with redeemer. It works fine offline. Run the sandstorm map, take the redeemer and then shoot it (RMB) while jumping to some side (double D or double A). The redeemer should...ok you'll see yourself xD Try clicking again the button of the direction you jumped to (A or D) :)

Tell me if it works to you too :)

Hey, thanks :) :)

@Vegas:
Ok, do you know a suitable html color code?
I know that 000000 is black and FFFFFF is white, I googled a little bit but did not find a perfect one.
Maybe you can say a good code :)

@aka_sova :
I'll try it later, okay.
Hmm stupid question (because I'm busy right now :D )
What do you mean by "RMB" and double D or double A?
I just thought from base red to base blue through the Redeemer place.

BTW:
I found a small bug in my website list:
#39 and #40 have the same name - will be fixed soon.

Edit:
Fixed!

BTW: How can I add a small logo?
As your logo?

Greets

Shades of gray go from #111 to #999. Here you got a reference: http://www.two4u.com/color/medium.html (http://www.two4u.com/color/medium.html)

Just create a 16x16 Gif, rename it to favicon.ico and put it in your server root where the index.html is. Remember that it works with all major browser except the ie... if you care, you better try to google for "favicon.ico".
Greets  wink2.gif

Nightmare, RMB = right mouse button, all gamers use this therm :) Double A/D - just click A/D twice, like you do to jump to left or right.

@VegasKill:
Ok thanks, I will try it!

@aka_sova:
lol okay :D
Now I know it^^
I'll try it.

Greets

OK, I reply again because Edit does not bump the thread as I know:

My current version:
http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list_test2.htm (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list_test2.htm)
(and the old version: http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm))

- dark grey background
- icon
- link to my Epic forums profile (1st big line)
- acknowledgements and credits link
- removed unnecessary lines in img-tags:
instead of <img src=http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/03_favorites_th.jpg></img> I now just write
<img src=03_favorites_th.jpg></img>
- and some small text changes (added some more words^^ - but not changed any bugs)
Ah and since I have loading problems with the site, I decided to use kilu as well.
That means I will write both links in case 1 does not work.
As the Germans say "Doppelt hält besser^^"
http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list_test2.htm (http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list_test2.htm)

Greets and thanks :)

@ Night: Looks lots better to read now  wink2.gif

@ a sova: RMB, Right Man, Bye  laughanim2.gif

Ok, thanks :)

I worked a little bit on the German version :D
I'm not the best translator and the site is not completely translated yet, but I made and tried a lot^^:
(It is especially difficult to translate some of the quotes - hell  :-\ )
http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list_ger_v2.htm (http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list_ger_v2.htm)
(Seems that kilu has its own icon?)
http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list_ger_v2.htm (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list_ger_v2.htm)
And I will change the "ihr" to "man" because I decided to write in the "man"-version.
I will check everything after I'm ready

P.S. Ignore the flags, the links won't work correctly because these are only tests (but they will work of course when the rest is ok^^)

P.S.2. Does every current browser support ä, ü etc?
I just wrote in my source code ä ü instead of things like &auml

Greets

Maybe its more correct if you leave the original quotes in addition than?


I can see everything correctly with all mayor browser, so you've choosen the correct content type and therefore all browsers should display it correctly. The only thing you should check is the font color of the body text: it is green in ie and gray in all other browser.
Greets

Hmm but some bug descriptions contain only 1 quote - nothing more.
Seems a little bit bad for a translated site.

Thanks for this advice, I never would have known this.
I tried some things and it seems the IE has problems with <font color="grey"> !?! (even without the "").
That means I have to find the exact html code for the current font color.
But this shouldn't be that problem since I can compare the sites.

Ok, seems "#777777" is nearly the same as "grey" (slightly darker).

Greets

Hello,

First: Happy new year to you all :)

As already said I've updated my thread.
But before talking about the changes in the thread, I want to say something more important (at least for me):
I was disappointed of the less possibilities in the forum (even no IMG-tags).
So I decided to create my own site with my own wishes.
Of course I update the site and this thread synchronously - so don't worry.
The site is nothing special but I think enough for this list and it has some advantages compared to the thread:
- real thumbnails: the complete file size of the site is around 3 MB (10 times smaller than the thread)
- internal hyperlinks: you can reach every bug faster and you can always go back to the overview
- no parts needed - 1 site (maybe no advantage for you, but for me)
- maybe better font and color (I think it's better but well, everyone's own opinion)
- also a German version^^ (however, only 1.6 until now and not perfectly translated until no) - will be updated tomorrow, but I guess no one cares about it :D)

http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm (http://nightmare85.kilu.de/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm)

http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm (http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85/ut3/bugs/bug_list.htm)

Now the changelog:

- Changed bugs:
-- #04: small grammar fix
-- #10: title change (driving "through" instead of "over")
-- #15: now written: Shock Rifle instead of Shock Core
-- #16: now written: Animation instead of screenshot
-- #24: small grammar fix
-- #25: small grammar fix
-- #32: small grammar fix
-- #47: better description in my 1st sentence
-Added bugs:
-- #53. Power-ups colors do not always disappear from vehicles
-- #54. Jumping through lifts
-- #55. Multiple kills announce bug
-- #56. Loosing team points in Team Deathmatch if new player leaves
-- #57. Players can continue to move after the match has ended
-- #58. Viper pilots can often survive headshots
- updated credits
- changed the text with the "file size"
- added the html links in the main post and an extra sentence
- added the thread for the X-Fi X-RAM OpenAL fix

And as always:
Bugs, which I haven't mentioned now, I still can mention in future :)

Thank you for supporting!
Let's see if we will provit of it (I really hope it!)

Thanks Darks :) :)  embarrassed2  finger1

Greets

Guys, please help me out.
One player says it is possible to stay on the hoverboard under water.
He just showed me screenshots:
(http://www.imgbox.de/users/public/images/w36207e238.png)
(http://www.imgbox.de/users/public/images/z34905f238.png)
(http://www.imgbox.de/users/public/images/a36069f238.png)

I can't get this!
I always fall from the hoverboard...
He uses version 1.3.

It works if you try it with "god", but I hardly believe he used a cheat^^
And he said you have to jump with the hoverboard into the water (from the high place).

Greets

I think he used God Mode! Cause if you fall from that height it makes damage with or without hoverboard  ;)

If you fall into the water even from very high place you don't get damage, people jump a lot off raptor when it's going to be down into the water and don't lose any hit point at all.

But not while being on the hoverboard!
I don't think its possible (except if you are out of the map (like the water below the glitch in susp on one of the flagbuildings, below the hole in the ground).

In fact i never tried to do this on hover... msnembarr.gif

It happened to me one time in necro. As I jumped from a tentacle into the green water. But dont ask me how^^

if you tell you did it there i think there is sense in trying to repeat it, i'll do it at leasure

I tryed it after Wojci gave me the tip to practice a bit offline too  msnembarr.gif
It didn't work for me since a high-impact hoverboard landing to the water surface lets you crash right there and not on the ground. I found nothing in the middle: crashing if jumping from the top of necro-bridge or staying on the hoverboard ON the water surface by jumping from the  entacles near bridge.

...and I noted some things:
- If you viper self-distruct you won't get hurt if you land on a water surface with the hoverboard
- same for the use of boots (not for ground-hammerjumps)
- You can change to the hoverboard if you are in the water and your character jumps towards a wall on the side of the waterplace (where you still can't get out of the water)  tongue1

It happened to me 1time. I'm sure it was a bug or someone pushed me under water.  ;)

Sometimes I shoot with my tank enemy scorpions and they survived it.
That mostly happens during the boost/self-destruct sequence.
Is there a bug or just bad-luck?
I'm absolutely sure I hit them but they still survive it and damage the tank!

Greets

They survive when you hit near them, but not close enough to give them full damage. It's like sometimes tank makes damage to some guy running, but not killing it.

Well, I shoot at them while they are on the ramp...

Greets

so i dunno. never happened to me.

As you can see, there are some bugs which aren't confirmed until now.
Maybe some of you can say something about some of them.
I will continue to check them tomorrow.
My aim is to update the thread on Sunday (at the latest).

Greets

Why near some of them written nothing - neither "fixed" nor "not fixed"?

We all know why you are our Inspector, don't we? xD

...if we happen to be on an empty server runing necro we could test the nightshade-hover bug for Night85.

hehe sova  tongue1
Read man, read! :D

These things also could be fixed, but I have not confirmed it until now:
02. 1 Avril hit kills - maybe fixed
05. 32+ players servers crash - maybe fixed
32. Nightshade sometimes shows wrong mines in its weapon tab - maybe fixed

16. Shock Combo bug - not easy to check it.
I tried this:
I startet an offline match, activated demorec, made around 6 Shock Combos and stopped the demo.
After playing the demo it was still impossible for me to confirm it :(
Maybe we can check it together online.

35. Player can get invisible if he feigns death on some objects - I think I will mark it as clear
It seems to be map/object specific - changing feign death can't fix it, but I will analyze it more properly today.

Thanks guys :)

Greets

wow 7 fixed and ~30 not fixed  Sarcasm1

Yeah, a little bit weak for more than a half year.

Epic said they fixed the client demo problems.
However, I always have this one problem:
My player looks to the opposite direction during the first shots.
That means it looks as the Shock Cores would come out of his back instead out of the Shock Rifle. lol

Greets

;D msnembarr.gif

I think nightshade bug is fixed...didn't cope this problem by the time after stealing enemy vehicle.

Guys, is it fully okay that orb and flag carriers can enter a turret and still have the orb/flag?
Looked a little bit confuse to me...

lol especially on Rails.
The guy takes our flag, enters the turret and moves away towards his base :D

Greets

Big logic-lol if this really works... I don't think the Epic guys know about.
Gj finding this out, Night85!

Here, looks like this:
(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/9567/screenshot00097.jpg)
(http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/9420/screenshot00098.jpg)
(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/5499/screenshot00099.jpg)

I think it is also unfair in Warfare matches because the orb carrier simply enters a turret.
Then it's of course more difficult to kill him and he is stronger as well.
(No everyone has a sniper or a good vehicle^^)

P.S: Vegas, Night sounds better  embarrassed2 :D

Greets

Sounds like a shield belt deluxe to me!
But snipers or Hellbender turrets are a serious thread, since the "Rails" let you drive in just 2 predefined directions, making you an easy target.

Hehe Night, no problem to leave the sober birthyear affixes appart. ^^
I did so just because you asked me to add the 85 to your account name recently.  ;)

Muahaha!  xxxlaugh.gif

lol that's really a problem...

Ok, I wrote it in Epic forums, but since this patch came, guys reply every minute in a thread and other threads go to another page.

No problem Vegas :)
I know I know, I just wanted to have the name to prevent misunderstandings, but you can still call me as always^^

P.S: I can't understand why no one in Epic forums posted it, maybe they never tried it!?

Greets

It was always possible to carry flag in a turret, even before the new patch,

I heard it from some ppl.

The only problem with rails is then, that u can go with the turret next to the enemy's flag, grab it and go back with the turret while holding the flag xD

If done this a few times, and scored :D


With good cover ur gone in 2 secs :D

and with this new titan shit, nobody even concentrates on the flag ^^ they just want to become titan xD

Ah ok.
Yes, I know it's an old thing.
However, I was not very sure.
I will let it out, but if it becomes too serious, I may add it.

Do you guys think there are no more 1 Avril hit kills against vehicles like Furies, Scorpions etc?
(Which have full hp of course^^)
I haven't experienced it until now...

What a shame that the demo guy is still alive...

Greets

Seems they didn't fix the scoreboard problem, or was I doing anything wrong?
(http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/7695/score1k.jpg)
(http://img149.imageshack.us/img149/8756/score2.jpg)

As you can see, 6 players are missing on the scoreboard.
Okay, maybe 16 players per side are maximum so we shouldn't count it as bug.
However, the patch notes say:
"Max player counts always fit on all scoreboards"

Greets

Yeah, seems like an error. Epic stated any amount of player could be displayed in the scoreboard... 32 on both teams would easily fit if the text size would decrease just a bit.

I wonder why the names have to be so huge.
There could be a nice smaller line for any player displaying the name, score, ping, kills and deaths.



Actually there is a tiny line with infos about the ping below the player names if there are really few ppl to display in the scoreboard. This would be a very important feature, at least the own infos should ALWAYS be there!

Okay, and nooooow ;)
I've checked many bugs, updated the 1st page to version 1.9 and can say this:

P.S: The internet site will be updated after some hours

Greets

Yea, my name appears 3 more times in credits!  :D

No problem, mate!
Some differences in server versions 1.3 and 1.4:

- There are more problems with patched clients and the old server versions! Especially the avril won't work as it should, meaning you encounter lots of no damage avrils and problems to switch weapon after firing an avril (you will see multiple weapons at the same time and no weapon firing at all til you feign death)
 
The storm on sandstorm is active on new and old patched server.

The Nightshade hover bug still works on unpatched server. We didn't manage to try it on a 1.4 server yet.


...I guess its getting time to patch the dark clan server.

Hey guys,
Yes, Sova helped yesterday to check 3 bugs.
Blax and DaemonicKnight joined to, but they didn't a lot^^

@VegasKill:
Since not all servers are patched to 2.0, it's not good that bugs like these happen.
However, I really doubt Epic could or would do somethings against it.
They just could think "Own fault if they don't patch their server".

P.S. I got the Avril bug one time and it was pretty annoying...

-----------
Another thing, maybe you guys can help me:
[SIZE="3"]16. Shock Combo bug[/SIZE]

Quote:
There seems to be a definite difference from the center of the explosion and the center of the actual core. - ^budozero^
(http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85_2/ut3/bugs/16_shock_combo.gif)
(Animation by ^budozero^)

Possibly fixed!?
(http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/6573/screenshot00128.jpg)(http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4355/screenshot00129.jpg)

Just start an Instant match, type demorec in console, make some Shock Combos, type demostop.
Then play the demo and type demoslomo 0.1 (or 0.5 - lower=slower).
I'm not 100% sure if the actual core exactly matches the center's explosion.
However, it does definitely not look as bad as the animation!
I have the feeling this bug was fixed long time ago... if it really was fixed.

P.S: I tried to create a video with fraps, but it was around 900 MB...

lol, the new core looks different to the old one. But it looks like it is on the right position.^^

Do you know if the client demo feature works well now?
I just know that the player does not look where he actually looked in game:

(http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/5327/screenshot00114.jpg)(http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4691/screenshot00115.jpg)

(But it was when I played offline and typed demorec in console.)
Are there any other issues?

P.S. It is even more messed up than it is shown at the screenshots. Sometimes it looks as the Shock Cores would come out of his back...

Edit
As far as I know, the problem automatically fixes itself after a while (some seconds/minutes?!)
However, I don't know if there are other problems...

Greets

Yes that happened to me really often! My enemy looked into an other direction but shot me thats fuck!

See this effect many times at the clanwar vids. Tank muzzle in kargo ist evrytime in the direction of the front, but he shoot on the sniper, platform, outways... I think, the problem is the performance: If u aim, the spectator client didn't show this, he only show ur main direction (move). If he has to show all details, its maybe to much and it lags.

I have this too very often at the end of a match,

when u try to pose for a pic, and for exemple i look at a wall, end the game ends... i suddently look in a diffrent direction...

???

Yea that's annoying, cuz a lot of funny pictures fail in the end :(

Nightmare, include it also in your next update!

Thanks guys!
Sova, I have been including it already in my list for months^^
(Vegas, please check the grammar of this sentense :D )

"50. Client demo problems"

Greets

So the bug with different directions at the end of the game is also included?

No.

Hey guys,
Would be very nice if you check the beta update^^

I want to make it "final" today^^
Thanks.

Greets

About #22, Armor and super pickups are not always showed properly:
I sometimes see problems with the boots spawning too. From time to time there is only the sole animated or small parts of the boots (not just like the yellow glowing as on your screenshots).

Nightmares screenshot:
(http://freenet-homepage.de/nightmare85_2/ut3/bugs/23_pickups_not_showed_properly3.jpg)

Yes, it also can happen to the Shaped Charge.
But good that you've mentioned it.
I will add that it happens to other things as well.

Edit
Important:
I think it is also the same with weapons:
They are invisible but you can take them as well.
Happened often to me!
I don't see the Avril but I can take it (after I respawned).

Greets

hey nightmare, nice buglist :P but I miss something...

When Im in the fury, sometimes the boost doesnt work, I hear the sound of the boost but nithing happens.. its really anyoing if u want to evade a avril.

And the bug with the texture in sandstorm, u might know it, its next to the avril tower, i dont know exactly what u have to do, but u just die when u come to close ?.

and another one with the fury, when ur shooting someone with the 'beam' of the fury. and if that guy walks during the beam behind a wall or something, the beam continious and gets invisible, not that i have a problem with it :D but its just anoying.

maybe wojci knows more :P

Yea fury rays hit me lots of time when i'm behind some object.

yeah mafia ur right i know that!!! ^^
but i think i can life with it :D

Warning - while you were reading a new reply has been posted. You may wish to review your post.

Vegas, great feature  finger1
I hope other forums will include this too.
I often read, reply and then I see 5 other replies :D

Hmm I will have to look into the fury thing.

Okay, bug list version 2.0 is final now^^

Thank you all for your support! :)

Greets

Lol From 70 bugs are ~15 fixed^^

hey nightmare heres something for u

its not really a bug, but its weird :P

something is wrong with the map suspense_necris

If u look in the water ( the water thats left from the original suspense ) u se trees in the refelction... but in suspense_necris are no trees... ?

here are 2 pics, on the 2e it even looks like a sunset xD

(http://i43.tinypic.com/2rd7srt.jpg)

(http://i44.tinypic.com/5131x1.jpg)

wrong HDRI maps  xxxlaugh.gif

PS. HDRI maps are used to create reflections of environment in 3d.

Lol epic n00bs!

Ok :)

There is also another issue with Suspense_Necris:
The Raptor automatically falls after its spawn from the roof!?!
(I heard this, but I also saw a Raptor falling...)

Greets

Yea that's so stupid. You wait on roof for the raptor, in the end it appears and falls down :D  Stupid collision boxes...

We all know the issue with the DarkWalker and 0 damage to players that are on hoverboard?
One mate told me this:
It seems that:
- if the DalkWalker hits the hoverboard first, it will not damage the player because the player and the hoverboard are 1 object.
(You hit the hoverboard and then you aim for the player - all in 1 shot).
Only the first objects gets registered.
If you would hit another player, (but not his hoverboard) you will damage him, because 2 players are 2 objects.

What do you think?
Sounds pretty logical to me!
Of course it's a bug if it's true.

Greets

Yes ofc its sounds logicall but its still an annoying bug.

Yeah but I never knew how it's caused by.
Now it seems we have the solution.

Greets

I know another bug in sandstorm. When your behind the avril tower and you try to shoot you  cant aim!

As far as I know, some of you play CTF.
Can you understand what this guy is trying to say?

http://utforums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=26255917&postcount=350 (http://utforums.epicgames.com/showpost.php?p=26255917&postcount=350)

Greets

No idea what he means, because I hate the translocator and would play only normal ctf without it.

I didn't get the problem either.

But there is one annoying bug with Viper, that i had several times. When i boost my viper ("Space" button) and fly upstairs, i can self destruct myself. But if i boost not enough to self-destruct, so my viper just falls down when i escape. And when i enter into it again, without pressing any buttons it flies up like i was pressing "space". ok, that's half of the problem. If it goes up and you try to self-destruct it by pressing "space" again and waiting for the icon to appear (telling, that you can self-desruct), so you can't do it sometimes!! The viper just falls down as you do, and nothing happens...

I'll demonstrate it online, if you want.

Yes what sova says is really annoying. Especially when you try to kill the nemesis in necropolis. There it happened to me really often.

There is an other bug with the gate-switch on Necropolis.
If you push an other vehicle on it the gates stay closed til the next "big" vehicle triggers the switch again.

Here in this video @ 3:40: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6ggG3W65NQ[/url]

Dont forget the Denied bug from the Fury.

@VegasKill:
Okay, I see.
I will try out to define it not map-specific, but engine specific.
Wow, thanks for the nice message in your video  msnembarr.gif

@Bender:
It worked perfectly when I tried it offline with Bots.
Maybe it's an online problem.

Ah and question:
If I fire a Redeemer and you shoot it down with your Fury, will we both hear the "denied" all the time?
Or will you be the only one who will hear it?
Or just me?

Edit
Client demo recording:
I know these bugs until now:
- players looks to a completely different direction while shooting when the match begins
- sometimes you see the left hand (as in Vegas' video).

Are there any other problems?
I think I will mark it as not fixed!

Off-topic:
Vegas, any plans to include keyboard support for bb codes?
For example I often press ctrl+alt+b (or ctrl+shift+b) for bold.
If not, no problem^^

Greets

It only works online and you hear it for 15 seconds or longer.

Np Night ;)

I thought this denied bug happens only if you make last second saves? Does it happen with deemers too? Well, anyways it takes far longer than 15 seconds. =(

Hey guys, a guy posted a nice bug and I have already written it in my "source code" for thread version 2.1

71. Player survives any falls by using feign death

You have to stand near an edge on a platform and feign death.
After you slide over it very slowly, you will finally begin to fall.
Whenever you want, you just press the fire button to activate standing up animation.
This animation quits the fall immediately and you will land without taking any damage (depending on how late you press the button).
(http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/6900/screenshot00369.jpg)(http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/9909/screenshot00370.jpg)

Quote:
1. If you are familiar with UE3, make a flat surface and a platform that is high above the flat surface.
I you aren't familiar with UE3, just find a high place in a map to jump off of.
2. Get onto the platform and run towards the edge.
3. Right before you get to the edge, feign death so that you slowly slide over the edge.
4. Right before you hit the ground, press fire and you will stop moving as the getting up animation plays,
then you will fall the rest of the way and land safely without dying depending on the distance you got up at.
Note- You must stay on the platform for about a second before falling for it to work! - Superking17

How can a dead person die? Ut3 just belives it for real if you feign death.  msn012.gif

My friend showed me this trick long time ago actually, XENOpz. But i didn't pay much attention to it cuz we were testing his new map.  Crazysmile1

And you never said anything? tsss, betrayer...


;)

Greets

Can someone please check the Fury-Redeemer bug with me tomorrow?
I finally want to include it into my list.

Edit

Another thing:
Can anyone please try to throw away and pick up deployables during online matches?
I got extreme problems.
The game freezed and after quitting it in task-manager, I got a BSOD.

Seems there are no crashes offline, but sometimes you can lose the weapon bar and all weapons after throwing and picking up deployables several times.
I even picked up other weapons, no chance.
It looks like this:
(http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/1118/screenshot00375.jpg)

I had absolutely no chance to get a weapon.
Only suicide helped.
But as said: It seems to be much more terrible in online matches.

P.S. If deployables are not made for throwing away, then it should not be able to do this. So it's a bug either way.

Greets

Okay, sova and me tried the throwing weapons and picking them up again.
I always get system crashes but it works for him.
However, he gets the same issue with losing all weapons after throwing away a deployable several times (online and offline).
I only got this problem offline because online it crashes immediately.

Translocator "bug":
(Which I once meant):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0hdh0Mtop0 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0hdh0Mtop0)

Greets

I can help you with the fury bug  msn012.gif Just say time and where.

I found a new bug today, but I hadn't the time to try it online. When you lay the protection shield you can shoot through it with the primary fire of the stinger, sniper and shock rifle.

Edit: You can also link vehicles through the shield^^

Happened some time to me too but didnt know how to do it^^

i dont know if this is a bug too,

but from this position u can look trough the wall in suspense.

u need to enlarge to photo to see what i mean.

(http://i43.tinypic.com/aoqjpj.jpg)

Legoland?^^

Yeah I know it.
There is a similar issue on Necropolis.

No idea if it's a graphics, engine or map problem...

Greets

graphic problem. i had that with my old pc (gf 6800) too and now with my new pc ( gforce 9600gt) not anymore

lol bender no not legoland ^^, just low world details for a higher fps.
and i dont know about my grapich card, i have HD 4850
so i thats not the problem i guess.

i think its the FOV ( field of view ) its 85 at mine, maybe thats too low

FOV is the angle of view / the amount of the map and enemies you see on your screen.
Oviously a low FOV means that you have a "tunnel sight" - you may not see the furies right next to you. As your grafics card is strong enough you may set FOV to 100, if you don't need a "zoomed" environment.

Thats an example of ut2k4, where you could set more than 100 (as in BTA in UT3)

(http://jensusut.wohlfuehlboard.de/bilder/FovCompare.jpeg)

oh lol thx vegas for the info, i looked it up before but un wikipedia it said FOV was something diffrent ?

but whatever :P

yeah vegas is right there was an update in ut 2k4 to increase ur FOV!!!
is there also an update for UT3???

No, FOV100 is still the maximum in UT3.

And if you use widescreen, you will have less vertical view than a non-widescreen player.
(Pretty cheap method...)

Greets

Wow 120 FOV is pretty cool! Watch the difference to 100!

If there stands some1 right next to you, you can see him with 120 but not with 100  xxxconfused.gif

the bigger your angle of vision is the smaller the objects in the direct centre appear to be. It's like looking through a fish lens. The objects seems to be more far away and smaller. This makes it more difficult to hit  combo.gif 'cos the shock core also appears to be smaller. That's why I'm sticking to FOV 100 although in other FPS I prefer 120

In Demolition mode you could make FOV 180 as maximum. That was awesome ^___^

By the way:
I think I know why I'm getting huge problems after throwing weapons and picking them up in online mode.
I have patch 5 beta 3 installed.
Of course I'm not 100% sure, but it seems logical.
That means I will wait until the new patch becomes official.

Greets

na i think easy commands like weapon drop should work with every patch version.

its also depending of the server you play on. on many servers i cant drop the weapons. or on some servers i can drop them but not pick up again.

Guys, I have figured it out.
Patch 5 Beta 3 is the reason.
After re-installing patch 4, I don't get this problem anymore.
No idea if any patch 5 will cause this problem.

Greets

So, Nightmare85, when do you think Epic is gonna hire you as their new lead betatester? ;) They can definitely use someone so dedicated to finding bugs :)

Hehe, no idea  embarrassed2

Let's see what patch 2.1 will bring.
Unfortunatelly, it's not enough to tell them the bugs.
Some day, the community will have to fix bugs furthermore if Epic do not work a bit harder.
(Like Gothic 3).

Greets

I think user's patchs will be better, than Epic one's ;)

Hey guys, I'm updating my list again.
I have a question to our hoverboard walljump experts:
(Honestly, I never used it before 2.0 :D )

I would like to add these sentences to the current bug info.
(Bold = new)

It seems patch 2.0 broke the walljumps because I often see players complaining.
There is a problem in combination with a hoverboard jump and a walljump.
(Jump with hoverboard, get off it while being in air and make a walljump.)
It still works but not always and not on all walls.

I have been checking it more properly for a while.
These walljumps do not work if you have a lot of speed and if your hoverboard jump is high.
For example: A ramp.
A walljump seems to work properly after a simple hoverboard jump which does not have a higher speed or a bigger height.

Can you guys agree with it?
This is at least what I realized the last time

Greets

Walldodges won't work anymore at full hoverboard speed, thats correct. I don't know about ramps or other high obstacles.

Very upsetting,that we can't do nice jump with hover over this long metal tube in Rails (there is chest armor upon it)...here is example of ramp :p

that doesnt work for me ?
at least its not that easy anymore as it used to be. they're just too hard to preform. and IF it works the speed suddendly disappears and its preformd as a normal walldodge...

at the position sova ment, i even freeze in midair like some hugee lag and just fall down

and the texture u need to make a walldodge is 'bigger' now. u need like 2 meter ( in ut3 XD ) to make the dodge actually work. before the patch it workd on like every wall.

I tried it for exampe on Suspense.
On the tower (where the Avril is) I tried a walljump and it never worked.
It's something like a ramp.

Greets

Another Bug!

On some maps your shock core changes his color if you shoot him into water. But he changes his color already before he hits the water...


Screenshot:

Normal vs Weird Shock Core
(http://i44.tinypic.com/262mrz6.jpg)

yes for your bug list night... try to make a shock combo over the water in necro... try to make a combo onto the armor. And look at the water effects then you have another bug, if you didnt notice that one already

And dont forget the walk-jump bug!

Yes guys, but I've updated it now.
I can look into these things and I can include them in my next version ;)

Okay, and now, copy and paste from Epic forums ;)

Hello!
I wanted to wait until patch 2.1 gets released, but I've decided to update my thread now!

UT3 bug list version 2.1 (does not have anything to do with UT3 game version 2.1 - don't confuse them):

- added:
-- 71. Player survives any falls by using feign death - not fixed
-- 72. Announcement loop when Fury shoots down a Redeemer missile - not fixed
-- 73. Spectators cannot see kill messages in Warfare matches after 1st round ends - not fixed
-- 74. Throwing deployables can cause problems - not fixed
- changed:
-- #06: added more information (the next text block)
-- #19: updated screenshots from new game version 2.0
-- #21: Small typo fix and removed the 2 older screenshots
-- #42: confirmed as cleared
-- #50: confirmed as not fixed and added some more text
-- #55: confirmed as not fixed
-- #56: confirmed as not fixed
-- #58: confirmed as not fixed
-- #64: removed Warfare from title, because it's not only a Warfare problem
-- #69: added the 2 known work-arounds
-- #70: added more text which hopefully makes the bug more understandable
-- changed the status "clear" to "cleared"
-- fixed typo above credits
-- updated credits
-- added 1 sentence above the versions which gives the hint about the full changelogs
-- updated html version (only English version so far, the German fans have to wait a while)
-- removed [shot]-tags from fixed and cleared bugs to save bandwith (see text):

Only a very few bugs have an unknown status now.

Because the thread's file size was pretty big, I've decided to remove the [shot]-tags from all fixed and cleared bugs because they are not interesting as much as the others.
You can still see all screenshots by clicking on them.
I have not changed text which belongs to the screenshots, so don't wonder if there is still a left and right screenshot which would be wrong now.
The html version is not affected because its complete file size is still less than 4 MB.
Nice, the thread is now around 19 MB instead of 37 MB.

Thank you again for your great support and I will be adding more and more bugs - does not matter if old or new.

Greets

It is possible to turn off sandstorm by [NO CHEANTING INSTRUCTIONS, Thanks for appreciation, VegasKill]
Fosgen just told me about it. Some guys are already using it. (guess who? Crazysmile1 )

Some russian guys?!

I think our polish friends will take it into consideration soon also ;)


Nightmare, here is one more thing for you to think about and add to list:

(http://i43.tinypic.com/2vir1u1.jpg)

(http://i44.tinypic.com/ir6fxd.jpg)

Sova, you can send me a PM about the fog thing,

About the tank and slo mo field:
I thought it's a feature.
Honestly, I cannot explain why, it's just a guess...

Greets

Its' not a feature, that's not supposed to be that way!  msn004.gif

I tried it with Raptor - same!
The slo mo field is a strange thing, don't forget this ;)

Greets

If you take a look at the screenshots you can spot whats wrong there with the aim: the crosshair on the slomo fild is where the tank shoots at. Its just that the bullet doesn't hit the slomo but goes trough it. Thanks to the 3d person view in vehicles the bullet will have a higher slope than if the crosshair aimed at the point you wanted to shoot at.

How to solve this error: the slomo field shouldn't interfere with the aim, but be "invisible" fot the crosshair.

1 more problem with the 3d person view in vehicles?
OK:
A wall behind(!) your vehicle can distract your aim.
How? If eg an object comes in front of your crosshair the vehicle tries to aim where the crosshair points at. In this case the vehicle tries to shoot backwards. -.-
(example of a location where this usually happens: in Necro at the gates. Drive trough the gates with a Nemesis and you will see that the wall is to close to you if you are in the "tower mode" - you will have problems to shoot to the enemy flaghouse)
How to solve this error: the crosshair should aim only at abjects in front of you/of your vehicles.

Yes, but I tried it on Suspence.
(I just summoned a NightShade).
The tank and Raptor had a good distance and the crosshair was not lost as it is on Sova's screenshots.
The shots went higher as well.

Not sure if it's really not a feature!?

Ok, this screenshots are maybe not the best because the crosshair looks lost, but it was ok before I shot (I think...)
(http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/3429/raptorslomo.jpg)

Greets

Maybe it is one of the many "epic" features, yes.  xxxlaugh.gif

...What lost crosshairs? I see crosshairs on all screenshots.

He means the point in the middle of the crosshair. If this one dissapears its impossible to shoot where you aim at.

still with 2.1.

the players look into another direction as they shoot:


(http://i40.tinypic.com/2ltg5jd.jpg)

This one is the most annoying bug ever! You think you can cap the flag cause your enemy isnt looking at you and suddenly the shot comes and your down

What?
If this is really true, then Epic have failed completely.

Maybe it's a specator problem?
We could test it online together.
One player marks a target with the Avril, the other player looks at some others and the others shoot at the target.

Edit
Or all mark a target with the Avril.
Then we can see if someone looks to another direction.

Greets

yea but thats no bug you can try so easy together.... it just happens sometime and most times in unbelieveable moments


edit: if it is no spec problem then they really failed. cause the pic is from a suspense only server.... multiplay s are updated to 2.1

you already got the ut crash if you pick up your own dropped weapons right? cause i died, picked up my avril and ut3 crashed

When I throw some weapons and pick them up again, my UT3 freezes and my pc crashes.
This even messed up my pc a bit, I cannot shut it down properly anymore without getting senseless error messages...
It seems to work when I throw just 1 weapon, but more weapons = crash.

Greets

Oh damn! I think I wont throw my weapons anymore  ::)

In your list one bug stayed as fixed but it isnt.  I mean when you join as a spectator that you loose the team color and your just gray or you just have the character colors.

Screenshot
(http://i39.tinypic.com/4rc0oj.jpg)

well i just picked up the same avril i dropped when i died and pc freezed

Your custom character may cause this team-color error, Bloody. There is a patch for "malcom1.1" on epic forums, there are some bugs with that too.

Thx for the info. Malcolm is patched now  msn011.gif

Next Bug: The X Ray Field hasnt the settings off a deployable. You can lay spidermines into the X Ray field and emp mine or link station.
And the shock core changes his colors too even if its not in the x ray field.

And the shock turret has a weird bug. When you spectate some1 whos in the turret and he shoots you see a big black bar, which disappears after some milliseconds.


I'll post some screenshots when my connection is fixed.

2.1 problem. not 2.0... patched back

Here is one more bug for you, Nightmare!

 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjKh5R0WkMk)

I think that happens because this guy has Center Aim activated but he has also WeaponBob activated.

Yup, I tried it online with normal aiming some days ago and I did not get this problem.
So I guess the problem could be centered aim.

Greets

There is a new bug with the Rocket Launcher Spiral.  Sometimes only 2 of the Rockets are flying in a spiral the other one flies away...

thats happened since the game first came out... i dont think its a bug... I think they tried making it seem more realistic as maybe 3 rockets wouldn't always go exactly where u want them to go in real life... Ive had it where all 3 of them fly in oposite directions lol...

make it realistic? lmao why shall they make a game called unreal realistic????

Epic Win Splitter^^


Maybe its just another feature (=bug) xD

maybe its a bug then...

but i do know its not a new bug :)

Watch that stupid bug....

I shot only one shock core. And that happened when I made a combo....

Nightmare already posted something similar to that, but it wasn't so extrem like this one.


(http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3163/screenshot00340.png)

i also found a error a few days ago: when you use the sniper, zoomed in, and morph into a Titan, the zoom is kept...
so what you get it titan abilities, with very bad view XD making the titan useless :P
(http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/5792/ut3titanzoom.jpg)

Why useless? U can snipe with ultra-sniper rifle!  Crazysmile1

depending on where you morph to titan :P
but i never looked at it that way :P

are ppl still playing with titan ? ::)

i usually only play with it, when playing with friends via LAN or something :P
then its like: 2 players vs 12 bots = bot carnage XD

how about using the [Gold]sniper mutator and then transform into titan?  xxxw00t.gif

Any1 ever noticed the bug that the sniperzoom gets reset when you pick up a weapon or item while zooming? O_o

Nope, some bugs that are really annoying is the one which make you have to reload the enforcer twice; when I respawn and when i switching to it. And the one that prevent me from dodging walls from jumppad amd hoverboard.

Avril reload, dodgfails and invisible cores or rox are the most annoying bugs eva!
