The Test Servers have been updated with the January update, and we could use your help getting some extra testing on it to see how it checks out prior to going to the Live servers. Please pay special attention to these items:
- Reload: We were able to address all known weapons issues including reload issues on all weapons. It should be consistent now, but I could use some people really watching this one to see if there are any other cases that may have been missed. These should be few and far between if any.
- End of Game UI: The end of game UI should now show you who killed you. I can say from experience, the inability to see how close the person who got you was to his/her own death was very frustrating.
- Car Ejection: You should no longer be ejected from a car and then stuck in place with no ability to do anything. This one bug was driving many people nuts (no pun intended), and I am glad to see this one go away.
- Infinite Inventory: There was an exploit allowing some users to have an infinite inventory, this has been addressed.
Speculative Fixes: We believe we will have fixes for the following issues in place before the 1/25 game update. There are still a few edge cases present that we will need your help and feedback on before we completely nail these down.
- Crouch Spamming: We have addressed crouch spamming. The current fix is to slightly delay how quickly you can return to standing so the reticle, camera movement, and animation are all in sync to remove the exploit of rapidly crouching and being able to remain accurate.
- Crouch Blocks: If you crouched next to an object, it would usually block you if you tried to stand back up and you would need to back away slightly in order to stand. You should now be able to stand back up (assuming there is not something directly above your character’s head).
- Emotes: We’ve cleaned up Emotes so that they can no longer be played while another action (such as looting or shooting) is performed – actions like these will always interrupt Emotes. We also have an incoming fix (not on this build) that will prevent binding emotes to the same keys as other actions to solidify the fix and clean up any last edge-cases.
Of course, if anything else sticks out, please let us know. Please make use of the community issue tracker - https://dgcissuetracker.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa?selectPageId=11004
