Any Crawly Things In Teh Demo?

I'm sure you all have been playing the UT04 demo for the last 48 hours straight so if you dont read this dont worry about it.

After a wonderful match yesterday against Angel_Mapper, and Cheetah, We all noticed some bugs. I'm sure you have too, so I figure we'd help out Epic a little bit by creating a UO buglist. Please if you have noticed any bugs at all post them in this thread.

1 of 2 times the game can't connect too the ut 2004 master sever if you want to go online. Sad

Sometimes you cant connect to a sever or it gives the wrong amount of players on that server. Sad

I dont know if this is a bug or settings but sometimes, all groundbound vehicles cant move! Theyre just stuck to the ground.

Second, you cant switch back to the driver seat in the hellbender if yo've entered one of the other two seats. You'll have to jump out and in again, annoying Razz

I remembered the other bug Very Happy

:
If u get the spider mine layer, and u shoot some spider mines out of it; they explode if they touch eachother.
That's also the same if u guide them with the laser beam (alt. fire) they will explode when they walk.

btw. that all ground vehicles are stuck: that's a mistake or something whent wrong while downloading, because i don't have it.

I noticed a small but very annoying problem with the drop down menus.
If you enable a drop down menu, it wont go away unless you click on one of the options inside of it.
It would be nice to be able to click outside of the menu to get rid of the dropdown.

Also, it would be nice to have some options to adjust the popup descriptions behavior, in the menus:

(1) an option to have them stay up until you move your mouse away from that setting. (sometimes they disappear before i am done reading them)

(2) an option to have them never popup.
(they often get in the way of reading other parts of the screen, especially after you have learned exactly what all the settings do).

this is all for now...

The avril won't target a vehicle with someone in a turret position but no driver.

I can tell you for sure I don't have this problem. I can always switch without having to get out.

Actually, the only literal bug I've seen is vechicles getting stuck on some terrain. Doesn't appear too often. I have seen what someone else pointed out, no avril locking with no driver... but I thought at some point I read somewhere this was by design. It doesn't really matter, as you can just point at the vechile, fire, and then forget. No need to lock something that isn't moving.

Anyone find the effect sound level is low even on max? I had to turn the music waaay down and crank my speakers way up to hear it at the level of 2k3, and then when the PowerCOres go in Onslaught, yowza my subwoofer goes nuts and the neighbours can hear/feel it Im sure.

hmm. some people have bugs i dont hahve.. but i noticed this:
get in the tank, scroll ya mouse wheel so you only see turet view of tank.
step out of it, and your gun fires from center, but your gun is in right hand. or left whereever ya put it.

bit funny Very Happy

When you are in a game (i was in deathmatch) and switch the Link gun to the new model you will get a complete screwed up mixed gun model. It does look cool but it isn't suppost to do that i think.

When you fly your raptor or jump your manta againt one of the towers into one of the basses your vehicle will often get stuck and it cannot get loose again.

Frames aren't all that great (lots of people complain)

Just two i found. I haven't played that much but i am sure i will find more.

I think some of these bugs are not really bugs.

Guest

i was in the raptor and pressed the use key to get out, and nothing happend, so i pressed again .. and again until i got out. and i wasn't racting fast enougth so i kept pressing an got in the raptor again... so i continued and suddenly died... that had to be a bug..

Guest

Hm, no bug, but I miss the "previous" and "next" buttons next to the "down" arrow in the popup menus. Always having to click on the down arrow and then choosing e.G. a new crosshair-type, that sucks. Why not switch between them? Little late, probably for ut2k5 Very Happy

There needs to be more damage dealt for getting hit by a freshly-destroyed vehicle. I'd like to see a Raptor just PLOW into a pile of damagables and give a real feel for destruction. It would make for good kamikaze attacks, too.

Seeing a jeep flip end-over-end after being hit by a tank shell and just bounce off someone's head isn't very satisfying... I need GIBS MAN! GIBS!
