Red Orchestra 2: Heros of Stalingrad - Beta Test List

[Zerowinged Vasiliev]

We have been beta testing the game, this is what we have compiled thus-far. If you all find any more bugs, feel free to post 8D




Cosmetic Bugs:
Random muzzle flashes.
The gun randomly fires off a muzzle flash, can also be seen on other players as well, no idea what causes this, seems to be random. [No re-creation]

Changing to pistol after canceled reload yields "Invisible Rifle" after change-back.
Explanation needed? [No re-creation]

General Bugs:
Spawning with no weapon.
During the squad selection, certain classes, if full, spawn you with no weapon what-so-ever, this is usually caused in Countdown game-modes. [No re-creation | We think it has something relating to if you select a role at the same time as someone else... You spawn at the same time and it spawns one of you with no weapon.]

Firing as you spawn.
We noticed that on several occasions we re-spawned firing our weapons off without actually pressing the fire button.

Select role & don’t get the role when you spawn.
Selecting a role in the

MG points tend to be in inoperable places.
Usually having some form of wall or sandbag blocking the view, also turning circles for MGs tend to be quite restrictive.

Example:http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/59...47753218456C3/
@Map Bugs

Suppression doesn't disappear.
Getting reports of this.


_____



Interface Bugs:
Steam overlay "Ghosting".
When using the steam overlay, I noticed that it left a "Ghost Image" in the background, I had to bring up the overlay again in order to make it vanish, this happened when in active cover and opening the steam overlay. [No re-creation]

Floating bolts, presumably when killed while pulling it back.
Self explanatory, random bolts from rifles have been spotted when people were killed during the reloading sequence. [No re-creation | Random Chance]

"Pause" in blue during connection (Submitted by: MrWhitby)

Map Bugs:
Apartments - stuck between truck and boxes on Russian side just across the bridge

Issue:

Outline of "Protected Area" should be properly placed on the map.
Noticed this in Fallenfighters or anywhere that use protected spawn areas.


_____



Game Breaking:
Can't bandage when in active cover.
When the bandage prompt came up, if you were next to a wall, it would automatically move into cover, this caused you to be stuck and unable to bandage, thus making you bleed out.

Sounds stop abruptly.
Don't exactly know what is causing this. But it has been reported across the board.

Server list causes large amounts of lag, potentially causes runtime errors and CTD (Crash to Desktop).
Whenever the server list is brought up, immense lag will hit, this has only crashed me once but from what I'm noticing I'm not the only one having this issue. [:: FIXED ::]


_____



Potential Changes:
Moving list of squads down, blocking off lower slots.
We noticed that sometimes when selecting a squad, the lower squad got "Pushed off" and were hard to select, this was because the squad selection would immediately snap back up to the top and caused the menu to bug out.

Font size for menus needs to be smaller, too much merging.
The font can be a bit large causing parts of the game menu's to overlap making it hard to read, this is noticed in the controls menu in options.

Auto Select Feature.
When selecting which side, an auto select feature would be nice, I haven't spotted one when it comes to this.

Map Selection is to fast and bugged.
Might want to just take a look at the server map voting/selecting system. Getting complaints from the team here.

Separate the “use” and “cover” keys as a option.
Cover seems to take precedence over, per-say, bandaging or reloading a MG. Recommending this.

Disable “Shift Key for Crosshair Focus” as a option.

Not spawning as selected role.
After selecting a role in the spawn menu: Sometimes it will spawn the player either w/out a weapon or just not spawn them at all w/out a prompt.
@ Spawning with no weapon.

Regardless, it's pretty fun when it's not breaking. 700MB patch released yesterday. I imagine a couple more before release.

BUG FOUND:

THE GAME SUCKS.

[Lanny Ansar]

I seem to enjoy Resistance and Liberation more when someone pops onto a server and brags about RO2, then comes back the day they're accepted into beta with NOTHING TO FfffING SAY.

Yeah, take that. I'm having fun with a source SDK base mod.

[Scarlet Flaks]

you kids so crazy

enjoy your shitty mods and deus-poopex.

[Zerowinged Vasiliev]

It's a good game but it has its general faults like all others. At least it isn't COD where people can longrange jesus-turn quick-scope and nail bitches in half a second. That's the only thing I was worried about and this takes the cake.

Anything is better than the complaining on SL combat <3

You know why I got Red Orchestra 2? Because I played Darkest Hour, and it's Ffffing amazing. So I can't wait for the mods for RO2.

-Fixed some vehicle AI bugs

-Created an intelligent system to grab bullet from partial clips before moving on to whole clips. This prevents you from ending up with all of your clips having just a few rounds missing.

-Refined speedhack detection to have less false positives
