bro the boat horn screamer 😭😭

[@JuanIsHigh]

in my opinion they should lower the opacity of the cashout or vault tags.... sometimes when u facing enemies that are infront of the cash out your visibility of them is hidden by the tags....or pins... lower the the size or opacity idk make it more invis xd

[@voiticradu5304]

This one is very important, I've had an issue with this since I started playing. It would be very cool if they gave us an option in the settings, something like an opacity slider maybe. Thanks for bringing awareness 😌

[@JDwatcher02]

yes, totally agree, ive had this same issue its been driving me nuts when you're trying to clutch 😂😂

[@Fox1986222]

Agree. Other games do it better. They could make it so, that the size of the icon depends on the distance of the object. That solves the problem of having huge icons for far objects blocking your line of sight to enemies and also would help allowing people to tell how far objects are away without having to look at the meter number which isn't always there for every icon anyway. Also the devs could simply make it so, that enemy models will always appear to be in front of an icon, not behind it. It shouldn't even be like it is right now. Like with that stupid event announcement which will always block everything on the top player in your team, but sometimes if you just wait, the announcement will just switch layers with the scoreboard and finally allows you to read the stats for the top player (you ;)). Like priorities... Scoreboard over event announcement and enemy over map icon...

[@TeeeWal]

[@dopeburgerubboubetterbacou4516]

One time I was in the final round we had the cash box with 35ish seconds left and traded with the other team everyone was dead and both teams spawn looking at each other. The problem was my team had all little the other team had two heavy flame throwers and burned us. We died 3 seconds after spawning and they stole and won the game.

the not being to shoot bug i’ve found can be fixed by spamming gadgets. i’m pretty sure it happens because of a glitch with reloading. whenever i fix it the gun reloads twice

[@xBlitzzYT]

I think the biggest elephant in the room is the obscene matchmaking times… after midnight in the UK we are waiting anywhere between 8-25 minutes for one ranked tournament to load… I haven’t seen anyone address this or try to explain why this is happening constantly? Is the player count that low that it takes this long?!

[@JoshDisney]

In OCE you can wait 30 mins at any time with no match

[@Joepoeee]

It’s literally not the player count. I mean, yes. But no. People asked for sbmm or closer skill/rank matchmaking and now they have got it, at the cost of slower queue times. This plus the lower player count makes long ass queue times. They have mentioned this, and it’s true that the quality of games are so much better, and you tend to get higher quality teammates based off your rank.

[@david_kingori]

Restart Ur game if it takes more than 3-5 min.

[@TheForbiddenDance]

In ranked i constantly end up on a page between rounds that says waiting for other players to connect and thrn eventually get booted an an abandon unless i force quit the game and reconnect

[@spencersocoloski8707]

This has happened to my friends and I as well. But I believe ours were all in season 1. Often we would get a temporary ban and we're not able to reconnect. That also meant losing out on the fp (which would've been positive because it only happens between rounds).

[@AfroKreamy]

happened to me last night. Only reason i knew my shit was bugged was because i heard the game happening in the background

[@lopsidedpotato]

A note about the queue time thing, I had like a 10 minute queue in NA last season, that popped shortly after I stopped and restarted it. Possible it like fails to properly queue and restarting long queues may help. (this is a single anecdote so more data is needed)

Legitimately helpful, thanks for the video!

"Honey! I'm home!"

[@spencersocoloski8707]

My friends and I had 3 tournaments with over 15 minute queue times on Friday starting at 7:30pm EST US, high silver/low gold. The lobbies seemed to match our elo in mostly silver, with one or two gold or bronze on enemy teams. We were convinced something was wrong with the servers, but then our queue would pop after being tabbed out for ~30 minutes. We also experienced a spawn ~200m away from an active cash out in the final round.

[@reinisze123]

I had the can't shoot bug at some point in s1 during one of the buggiest patches. It also goes away after like 15 secs or so

[@Lynxi_]

6:28 This one was actually intentional and mentioned in the patch notes, embark reduced the xp cost for lower tiers while increasing it for higher tiers

[@MoonyTheBat]

The healing bug is so freaking annoying man. I started getting it in power shift, and I also couldn't switch specializations so I just didn't have a specialization for those matches. I've gotten it like 5 times now in multiple maps and modes.

4:06 that has happened to me a few times already, i thought i was going insane when it happened. I’ve found you can also just spam shift and it should let you run again

[@D2Branch]

Thanks for bringing light to all of these bugs! Hopefully Embark patches most of these bugs soon 🙏

[@WeatherMan2005]

Glad they didnt bring the heavy

[@BucksTheBear]

The "Bug" with the XP on the battlepass shows you how much XP you get after the next game, since they changed the XP required for each level. It was 9k XP every level and now it's between 6k and 12k depending on the battlepass level. So you get more level early and less level later on.

[@ODStat]

I've experienced another bug where crouching for some reason doesn't work the way its intended... on my end I'll be crouched perfectly and trying to go through an air vent but the game itself see's me standing... on my screen I'll be blocked off by air and see outside the vent but when my buddy was spectating me he just said I was staring at a wall like a dummy walking into nothing. I've actually had this happen twice to my knowledge

[@peopleareawesome8141]

ive been grinding the finals these last three days and have experienced every single issue u have addressed here. The boat horn sound to me was more like an extremely fast shooting machine gun, when i first heard it i almost died too.

[@PapaWithTheCut]

To fix the bug, where you are not able to shoot, i found another quick fix! I just needed to unbind shoot and rebind it and i didnt need to die, which came in clutch in some ranked games! just a quick heads up! Enter settings, unbind shoot, exit settings, reenter and rebind m1 and you should be good to go! Great video! Some nice points that i had seen myself but couldnt really point my finger on

[@ChirpyRogue]

also another bug i have been having in multiple games is when the last medium on the enemy team defibs someone whilst im shooting at them and it plays the team wipe sound but not the enemy being revived sound so i dont hear the defib go off, but i hear the team wipe sound, so i run in expecting no one and then i die, cus im confused as to how the enemy is alive, i really hope they fix this cus the amount of times i have died and my team has died when i said teamwipe and the sound played is unbelievably sad

[@nelissantuma8551]

5:50 you can also fix this by inspecting your weapon you should be able to fire after that again

[@AtayosuneWhiteWolf]

About the disappearing lights: I've had a Heavy go completely invisible on me .. I think it's not the cloak of the light but some bug actually not showing enemies ..

[@simonockas]

I also experienced 2 more bugs: - Can't take ziplines, use doors, or steal cashout until you respawn - In the Bunny Bash LTM, it only let me swap between my actual loadouts instead of the LTM loadouts, which gave me an unfair advantage (this happened 2 times in the span of one hour)

[@Fox1986222]

Bro I might be a bad person, but I would've abused the shit out of that. xD

[@ixkaozxi9736]

1. There's a bug that's happened to me and my friend when you load into a game you get stuck on the map preview until you restart the game and try to rejoin. But you have to try like 5 times to actually rejoin the match and if your team qualifies for the second round you get kicked and can't rejoin so you end up with an abandon penalty. 2. If individual performance mattered in ranked, I would've been d1 a long time ago.

[@Cr9mson]

Yeah my cloak is like I never go invisible but for everyone else I cant see at all

[@tacodoom9434]

The healing bug has been there since launch, and it happens waaay too often for me

[@WeatherMan2005]

After i die in a game and swap to my teammate when spectating who was shooting their gun the audio from the gun will keep playing 1-2 seconds after they stop shooting if they were shooting it when i started spectating

[@trillmnar]

my fcar jammed on me yesterday, took about 5-10 seconds for the visual bug to go away after i switched over to grenade.

[@SaschaH-iy9fg]

About the loading times into the game: i have this issue only in ranked. It is impossible to get into a game on Monday- Friday from 22:00 till 15:00 ( I have tried getting into one but after waiting 10 mins I quit searching). On weekends and other times loading into a match works perfectly. My region is europe

[@user-fn2gd3yq6c]

Sometimes when I que for tanked tournies it doesn’t drop me in the game, all that happens is the reconnect button appears and I have to click that to get into the game

[@Kellestial]

Not sure if it’s a bug but the explosion mine destruction has been hugely nerfed or just inconsistent. In the past two mines would make a hole on any destructible surface, now it’s super inconsistent and most of the time won’t make a hole even the mines are placed next to each other

[@user-eb8fs2nz2j]

really good video, if u can show in an other one your Nvidia settings

I’ve had a queue issue, just waiting for like 5 min. I just starting matching making again and it was normal

I just had the no longer sprint issue just this night. I thought it was just me having this issue haha!

[@y2kdragon879]

I’d like to see them change the visual and audio cue for when an enemy team collects a cash out vs when your team does. It would also be cool if you could steal/revive teammates faster if you’ve got multiple people stealing/reviving at the same time.

[@Ann0nyl]

In terms of long que times idk if this is a bug but I have NEVER been able to find a ranked tourney in OCE PS5, even since the launch of season 1. If anyone knows a fix pls help.

[@MatrixMouse]

90% sure the 'boat horn' sound is just an audio bug with the m60 or lewis gun, as its only happened to me when players are using it. Would make sence seeing all the other audio bug with guns sounding like they are still shooting after they are clearly not.

[@1234567895182]

dude that boat horn made me laugh so much 🤣 Also me and my friend have experienced the long que times, specifically when we que for ranked. Hes gold 2 and im gold 4. We play in NA region usually around 11pm - 3am est. It could just be that its late, but we never had such long que times before and I am pretty sure there are still a lot of players online at that time. When queing for powershift we have no problem.

[@aaronhaworth8850]

ive had a few games where the wait time was more than 45 mins it was waiting for bank it in OCE servers

[@chunkychungus6818]

Whenever I que for ranked in Oceania I never get into a game, waited 45 minutes one time and nothing

Go na server for ranked, it lags a little but you can still place and rank slowly and frustratingly

[@raedtjr]

Same here!

[@cesarconrado1693]

Same in SA

[@Bedic-Mag]

Yeah cuz Devs thought it'd be a good idea to need 42 players for every ranked tournament. The playerbase simply isn't robust enough to make consistent matches, especially on an already dead region like Oceania

[@mehemynxm6974]

I would like to see whay they'll dp about load times. Sometimes they can be insanely long for no reason.

[@raedtjr]

I m located in Europe, in a team of three. Late night it is almost impossible to find a game! It feels like the servers are just shutdown. If i switch network option to north America it immediately find a game. The only explanation i found is that not enough players are available, which sounds like a bad sign! It's a damn free game and amazingly innovative. I don't get it... i hope i m wrong!

[@Brixxmin1429]

as far as i know regarding ranked mmr, i dont think individual perfomance matters much. i duo queued to diamond with my friend this season and everytime one of us ranked up the other did too, all the way from our placements putting us both at gold 2 to hitting diamond 4 on the same game. we didnt play a single ranked match without each other either.

[@toryspelling7737]

The bug where you cannot shoot (also cannot trigger any abilities) happened to me twice in season 1 as well. Its possible to be able to shoot again without dieing. Not sure how I managed but toggling items, using portals, running around eventually allowed me to shoot again.

[@suhdud4646]

Season 1 - I got so many UE5 crashes when I played on Vegas. 2/3 games on Vegas would crash. It took me forever to complete the first limited time event because of the crashing but that seems to be fixed. (AMD 6900xt)

[@WeatherMan2005]

Most of my crashes (not all) were also in season 1. I have a 1060 tho lol

[@Fox1986222]

A bug I noticed a couple of days ago before the most recent patch is, that I'm not actually wearing my tinfoil hat in game. lol It shows I'm wearing it in the lobby and even in the arena entering animation at the beginning of a match I wear it, but when I emote and see myself in 3rd person, I'm just bald. lmao

[@joshuaxbox21]

4:04 you can also just press your crouch button which will make you slide and then you can sprint normally

[@grilledcheese4017]

I got the xp bug for the battle pass but instead of reverting to normal after one game it gave me all of the sections that the xp it said I had was worth. I started the game with the second reward slot bugged (like 87,000/9000xp or whatever it was) and when I finished I got that entire tier section for the battle pass and a little of the next one. Basically got like 8 free levels.

[@martolod]

Matchmaking queues were regularly 10+ minutes for me when late at night in a stack at plat rank, however it seems the queue times have gone back to "normal" since they removed unranked tournaments from the game. I suspect Embark removed unranked tournaments specifically to drive more of the player base into the ranked queue

[@TeTenotePlays]

Does anyone else have the bug where sometimes if u try to disable voice chat mid game it does not work , no matter how many times you disable it and reenable it it doesn’t work . Super annoying when somebody’s mic is extremely loud background noise and u can’t turn it off . ( I’m on PlayStation) It happens to all my buddy’s on PlayStation as well

[@Fox1986222]

I would never even once wait so long for a game before I assume either something is broken and I can fix it or I just have to give up.

2 issues I had were when I spawned inside an enemy team of three.

I was not banned just kicked from the game. I could not also rejoin back.

really hope they change this mentality of hidden patches especially the nerfs and buffs specifically, just seems odd that we have to go to alternate sources to get "complete" patch notes. Also seems inconsistent when they mention some buffs but don't mention others at the very least they'd get more people testing those specific changes and offering some kind of feedback somewhere about the change.

[@DeeeCee]

So when leaving a match to avoid dropping elo/rank what makes you think anyone doing it could catch a ban? Is there anything in the TOS that states anything about exploits being bannable?as well as that, I’m assuming they will fix the ability to even do the exploit in a patch sooner or later
