    Survival fix

    Just a little bit of a bug in survival and some other parts of the game. Such as the flash sticky which doesn't work sometimes and when rushing say in survival, you get such behind a heap of trash bags, managed to fend off the NPC's and spent around 20 to 30 minutes trying to get out of it. Had a really good run but unfortunately i for acrewed by that. Tried downing myself, tried just about everything i could. Please take a look into it.

    Hey PEDDZ,

    Sorry to hear you got stuck in Survival. Can you share the location specifically, or is it generally any trash bag pile? Does the Sticky consistently not function properly?

    Could you also provide your platform as well?

    Hey Peddz; Next time you get stuck in a survival, most times you can close the game out or kill your interent connection and log right back into the game and it will ask you if you want to rejoin your session. Sometimes it doesnt give you the option but most times it will and could save a good run from being ruined. .

    I am on PS4 and got stuck two times in Survival in the last two weeks and saw three other agents stuck during this time. This has been a problem in Survival since its first days. I know the devs fixed some of those spots, but there are still plenty of them. I got trapped between the iron bars of a scaffhold and between two roadblocks. To Amper - I remember the locations, but it is hard to describe where it was. Could only show them on the map. Next time, I take a screen shot.

    That issue has been there since day 1.

    Id advise not going anywhere near the edge of the playing area. That should reduce the risk.

    If you do moesuvious advice should work for you. Though I cant remember if I did that myself once and found I just respawned back! Maybe if you have a friend on the run, its lessens the risk. Or they can revive you once you freeze to death. Its been a while since that happened to me.

    There is only the base version of every skill in Survival. There is no "flash sticky".

    To avoid getting stuck, if you ever see a loading wheel in the bottom corner of your screen or the game forces you to walk/run slower than max speed, just stop and wait for the lag to catch up. You get stuck because objects haven't rendered in your environment yet and you have moved into a position occupied or blocked in my an object that finally rendered.

    I have only got caught behind something in survival one time. The close and reopen did not work in that instance. I try to avoid running near densely packed items now.

    Both times, it was in the centre of the LZ. Luckily, not in DZ after one hour of playing. One player got trapped between a chair and a cardboard box! That's Division.

    There are so many spots on the map were you can get stuck. Climb on cars and go between them, you can't get out anymore. Certainly not if you want to do it quick when taking hits. Besides all these places were you get stuck there are numerous spots were logic boggles the mind. Climb over fence or barrier one way, but impossible to go back. Same with gates, no problem climbing over fence but the gate next to it with same height, you can't. Also when there are benches, some you can go over, others you can not. It is just frustrating sometimes when you try so run but getting stuck or being hindered to move. Cars that are parked near sidewalk at an angle, you get stuck it most cases when you want to step on sidewalk.

    And of course not to forget the places where NPCs go over and between, but you can't go there and chase them. It does feel strange sometimes when you can walk thru a big pile of garbage bags and at the same time get stuck on a small lump of snow or piece of metal in the middle of the street. Not sure if these are put there on purpose but for me it is just indication they didn't put much care in designing the map in regard to movement.

    Nothing like playing for 1.5 hours, killing 6 bosses, about to extract and then boom, you are in the middle of the pavement, unable to move, the game going into an infinite loop telling you that you are outside playable area and you will be returned to playable area, only to find yourself still stuck in the same place, unable to do anything other than rage quit.
