I am not looking to find fault with the game, I just thought it would be good to keep a list of bugs people find. I will start with one..

When you get to the valve (just after where the demo ends) the instructions tell you that you have to turn the controller clockwise.. The icons/arrows also show it as clockwise.. But on the wheel, the arrows are ANTI-clockwise and thats what you have to do to turn the valve!

Any more so far?

you can walk though your teammate on SP which i think is poor

Just the really annoying, momentary 'pauses / freezes' when the game's loading the next part of a level.

Unnecessary.

Yeh, they should have done a HD install and got rid of that, as its annoying.

[Master Yoda]

I thought I should post this in here as well as the play and help thread, as I think this is a pretty big bug in the game unless I'm missing something.

On the first level after you've opened the floodgates and your vehicles are going through (underneath you) my teammate disappears somewhere while I'm killing the Helghans...

I've followed the objective marker straight ahead and it leads me to a corrugated metal door with barbed wire above it. The next marker is straight ahead on the other side of the door. The door can't be opened - I've tried everything including, the use/open button, running at it, pushing through it, shooting it, hacking it with a knife, and using nades on it but still nothing. I've been everywhere and there's nowhere else I can go and no buttons to press anywhere??? I tried to jump down below where the vehicles were, but can't do this either. I can't head back through the level either as the doors are all locked...??

I've tried redoing the level again, and the same thing happens.

There appears to be no way to progess further(???).

If this is a bug, it's a pretty big one(!!!??)

There's a common development anecdote about a function which needed some changes, so a developer went in, made the changes, and also noticed that the function could be much more efficient if it was altered slightly, so made that change too. The users complained that because it was quicker, it must be doing something wrong, and the developer had to go back in and put in an empty loop just to slow it down - basically pretend that it took longer than it did to make the users happy

I think the same thing applies here: they actually have some pretty impressive streaming that can load an hour's worth of environments almost without pausing, but I think that the momentary pause is actually more distracting than fading the screen for a couple of seconds while "loading" would have been - even if the game only needs a quarter of a second, it could just pause behind a "loading" screen for a couple of seconds and people would have praised how short the loading times were

Not sure it is a bug: after opening the gates and killing those opposite, you come out of that room and are faced with 4 or so more enemies. Once you kill them you literally do a U-turn and there is access going on to a mini cutscene where troops are moving through followed by the blitz from the building opposite. Hmmm I may have the wrong part of the game as there is a door further on that needs to be blown open with RPG or grenade but your team mate says blow that door in its weak spot. Sorry man getting myself confused as to where you actually are.

Never saw it that way & great point

Just confirmed... it WAS a bug... (pretty big one too).

I tried the level several times from scratch and it didn't work. Was about to give up, when on the last attempt I managed to get the door open as my teammate didn't vanish into thin air. You can't open the door yourself - it's like a mini cutscene where your teammate has to kick it down.

Basically the bug is that he isn't around to open it - he wasn't dying, just disappearing. Anyway, I've luckily managed to get past that point now... But is definitely a bug that needs to be fixed.

Multiplayer Bug.

Under the server listings, rooms displayed as 31/32 players are full and won't let you join. So don't bother trying these rooms. Look for rooms with more then one space free instead.

I disagree, I nearly screamed when it happened a bit further in, I was in a corridor (just past the end of the demo) and it just froze... one second... two seconds... major panic now, phew panic over I'm playing again.

I don't like it one bit, in fact if it faded out and didn't even display "loading" I'd still be happier knowing that it meant to do it and my 2 weeks old PS3 hadn't just given up the ghost

Fantastic game though

the clockwise anti-clockwise bit I think has confused you a bit.

You're supposed to press L1 and R1 (to 'grip' the valve) THEN turn anticlockwise to turn it. THEN release L1 and R1 ('let go' of the valve) THEN turn clockwise (to return your hands to the starting position ready for another Grip & Anticlockwise combo)

You might be right.. I worked out how you do it.. But i am sure it said "turn clockwise'.. But perhaps there was a line above it which said 'grip and turn anti-clockwise'... I might have to go back and look, just to satisfy my curiosity..

I have found an ommision from the game.. Not sure if anyone plays Body Count, but when you create a game, it starts up with a very low number of 'max kills'.. So the game usually ends within a matter of seconds.

The host can change this, but its hidden away. What makes matters worse, you can't see what the Max Kill setting is from the "Join Game" screen Or in the lobby.. So there is no way to know what you are up against.. There needs to be a few chnages:

1. The default should be changed, so that the games have a realistic number of 'max kills'
2. The Join Game screen should show what the Max Kill setting is.. And this should also be available in the lobby.

This might not seem a big deal, but since I only play TDM (and don't really like the objective modes in any FPS) currently there is no point in playing, as the game ends in a matter of seconds.....

I have just found a major Bug spoiler Tharsis Refinery about 3/4 of the way through the game you are meant to meet Rico in the control room only when you get there he is nowhere to be found and i'm just left standing there, thing is the last checkpoint and save position are one in the same 10ft from the control room so my only choice is to stop playing or start from the beginning of the game...

Below is what should happen spoiler:Rendezvous with Rico

You'll soon have to cross a series of walkways while being bombarded by flying drones. Simply use the boxes for cover and overload them with sparks from your Electric Gun, then ride the lift at the end. Continue into the passage beyond, which leads to a large room, which is home to a few spiders. Your Electric Gun will not work on them, so either switch to your pistol or melee them. Continue onward into the next room to regroup with Rico.

Aren't most online games like this? it happened to me loads in Warhawk... someone just joined before your screen refreshed, I think you need to be quicker! It doesn't bode well for your reaction times in game...

Ouch!

Yeah I've found this in tons of games, it's usually because somebody else in the world is also looking at that 31/32 player room at the same time I am, and thinking "I want to join that"

[DJ Ovengloves]

Not a bug, but does anyone else hate the motion controls bit?

[Stinja]

Not sure if this is a bug, but seems like it. Final level fighting Radec he goes kinda glitch-invisible, with a floating grenade and vague shadow if you flamethrower him? Also he's stuck in a loop saying "Nowhere to hide Vectran" and something like "run blah blah" and just throws electricity grenades over and over.

Once i managed to give his invisible void a good flaming, and then he swapped to a MG and Rico finally starded shooting at him again, but i died and it reverted back to above. This is on Veteran difficulty, and dosent seem like how Youtube videos show this section going <sigh>

Anyone?

[supergeek]

I was on the part were you have to detonate the four pillars where you have to place a d charge on each one, thing is, me being the dumb idiot I am I denotated the 4 charges when i was standing right next to a pillar Thus killing me and comrade

but worst part is...

IT AUTO SAVED JUST AFTA I PRESSED THE DETONATION BUTTON! Now every time I die, it goes back to jus after I pressed detonation, therefore killing me again. It's just an endless cycle

Restarting the game selecting load makes no difference, it puts me back into the game just after I pulled the trigger again

help! or am i consigned to starting a new game...

You can just go to the mission select screen and select the mission again (if it won't let you, the one before).. You will have to do some of the game again, but alteast you won't have to start from the beginning!

Good Bug - Would you like a job in QA

Go back to mission select and select that mission section - should sort it

[Paul_T]

I had something similar in the same area, I demo'd the building but ran into a "hig" just after I pulled the trigger when running outside - the cutscene triggered as everything went grey and I was about to die... phew!

[TaNeR_08]

[lovebeer]

My son was kicking some helghast butt when it lost sound and about ten seconds later screen went completely white.
Hopefully a one off.

Certainly an "Apply Hand to Forehead" moment


Re: my glitch above. It seems like if i avoid the flamethrower completely, fire a SMG at him to get him out of it, it then resolved properly. Hence i've finished the game - yay Maybe thats the intended behaviour if you use that weapon? Maybe it is a glitch? Best bet is to avoid it though.
