A few bugs from beta | Forums

[drakelazarus]

First let me say that I'm very impressed with the game overall, and I'm very much looking forward to playing it a LOT more.

However, here are a few buggy bits and pieces that I noticed while playing:

• Occasionally the sound would become muffled, almost like I was playing underwater. I'm not entirely certain of the cause. Maybe a big explosion that killed me?
• I had the cool silenced sniper rifle (from a crate). I was up in a tower, and saw another sniper rifle on the ground by the dead NPC. Out of curiosity, I picked it up. Only later did I realise that doing so 'destroyed' the silenced rifle, and I couldn't see any way to get it back. I didn't see it drop on the ground, even.
• Some of the voice lines are triggered at inappropriate points, or don't reflect the action onscreen. For example, I'm pretty sure that a generic line when you res someone is "Maybe next time you shouldn't let them shoot me?" (or words to that effect). This happens even if they were run over, or fell to their death, etc.
• I have a pretty powerful gaming PC, bought recently. GeForce 1080, 1TB SSD, etc. Even so, when travelling quickly - for example in a helicopter - the whole game freezes for several seconds, then eventually pops me back in to an updated map.
• Sometimes I would run out of activity icons on the map, only for them to repopulate when I logged out and back in. I'm not sure if this had something to do with syncing my game with the other people in my group.

Regarding your weapon issue. Weapons unlocked via weapon crates are a forever thing and are able to be customized. All I had to do was open my load-out and re-select the sniper to switch back to it. Granted, I think we should at least have to go to an ammo box to change weapons.

There are alot more than just some bugs. The whole game felt lack luster. It was in its entirety a far cry 4 re skin.

Helicopters and planes are atrocious to fly

This is most definitely not running on snowdrop. It looks awful even on highest graphics settings

There is no button for actually entering cover so it's a pain to figure out if I actually am behind cover. It's not hard to hit a key and enter cover. Honestly... peeking around cover is god awful.

Going from 3rd person to first to aim is the absolute worst thing I have ever experienced and If I aI'm in 3rd person I don't get a crosshair?! Wtf is that?!

Driving off road, steering seems to have no input going up or down hilly terrain

Yes you get different vision modes but no animation for night vision goggles? Really? Thats lazy as ****.

When playing with just one other friend enemy count remains the same with less friendlies to help.. that get overwhelming.

Character movement is slow and lazy. Control input is sluggish at best.

Driving around I've noticed that places I've assaulted and destroyed stay destroyed. So once I've gone on my ghost recon/far cry raid, there's nothing left to do. No replay ability.

Honestly, ubisoft has really just took a giant crap on a plate and handed us a spoon. They've killed the ghost recon series with this **** they call a game. In fact they've really ruined the Tom Clancy name. God forbid they ever try to do a splinter cell game.. I've lost all respect after playing this beta. With a month until release you'd think the game would be more than what it is... and then I guarantee we have at least 5 minor dlcs planned out that give literally nothing for 15$ a pop that we'll need to actually play the game. ****. That.

That was my initial thought too. The problem with ammo boxes being the only way to swap weapons is when a member of your squad is using it to look at weapons the system will not allow you to access it even if all you want to do is pick up more ammo.

That's weird. I definitely scrolled through my list of weapons, and didn't see the silenced sniper on there anywhere. Not even with the locked icon, it just wasn't on the list. Maybe that's a whole different bug. It's quite likely I wasn't at an ammo box at the time.

You hit the i key and it bring you to the gunmaster (from anywhere in the game) then select the weapon you want to change and voila! There no specific place to change your load out.
