The penalty is more severe if you TK within the first 5 or 10 seconds or something, isn't it? You'll get kicked quicker maybe.

Is anyone else getting connection errors 9/10 times the round starts? Because ever since this patch hit, it's been happening to me. (I seem to be having all the luck with R6 issues, lately...)

EDIT: And then rubberbanding on the one round that connects..

I learned how to play beer pong from the Prince of Uganda at a university party.
Just played the most trash team yet. I was on defense, and some guy on my team TK'd two people and quit. It was just me and another guy with 25% health. Well, I camped in a corner and three of the enemy literally backed themselves into my corner without seeing me and I killed them. The other guy got the last two after they blindly rushed the objective. Playing casual is a nice vacation from ranked.

I still think ALL CAPS exclamations are absurdly hilarious at a primal level. They're like fart jokes.

"gg all"
"gently caress YOU [slur]"

I tried playing a bit of casual last night without the usual crew of people. Two matches. First match, played against a team that saw two guys d/c. One comes back and just TKs his whole team. Second match I rubberband everywhere.

It seems like when I'm lagging or rubberbanding I do the best.

How is it that so many networking issues are a thing? Is the destructible nature of the environments and the way sound propagates incredibly resource-intensive?

Buck is cool because he has a weak, wall-destroying shotgun as well as his normal rifle.
Since headshots are where it's at kill-wise, and GEO has shotguns as a secondary, how is Buck not poo poo now?


e: This was terribly phrased, but how is Buck's ability viable when "also a shotgun" isn't a unique trait anymore?

buck is badass and generally underplayed imo

the thing that makes his shotgun ability so cool is just how quickly you can toggle between the modes

iirc the reload speed is great too for a shotgun

Depends on who originally makes the party/invites. Whenever that person leaves you need to remake because who the gently caress knows who the new one is.

The amount of poo poo broken in this patch is so loving long :stare:

quote:

**ISSUE** - Shield characters, particularly Montagne, take full damage from nitro cells. (https://gfycat.com/FluffyIncompatibleGreendarnerdragonfly)
**ISSUE** - If Echo exits the Yokai Drone view and returns to it, the Yokai Drone's view is reset to it's original position.
**ISSUE** - On Jager's model view, [this](https://i.redd.it/xhjfnhmdffhy.jpg) blue ring appears around his eye.
**ISSUE** - Blitz may still be shot through his shield. (https://vimeo.com/204133215)
**ISSUE** - Smoke canisters attached to ceilings produce smoke on the floor above, and none on the floor below.
**ISSUE** - Fuze's cluster charge grenades may have an absurd range (distance, non-explosive) when considering the bouncing, flying, and rolling.
**ISSUE** - Caveira makes full, loud sounds when walking on metal floors in stealth mode.
**ISSUE** - Hibana's X-KAIROS pellets sometimes stop before detonation for no particular reason.
**ISSUE** - Barbed wire sometimes does not expand fully, and sits condensed on the ground. (http://i.imgur.com/8YQzjvN.jpg)
**ISSUE** - Players are still able to enter the shed outside using a shield-vaulting method on the map Clubhouse. (https://i.imgur.com/AmwocYF.gifv)
**ISSUE** - If there are gadgets on the table in the basement of Oregon, and someone interacts with it (ie. hits it), the gadgets will all break. (http://i.imgur.com/nJXdGJY.gifv)
**ISSUE** - Pulse's scanner sometimes appears very glitchy, and displays various red lines, or in short, simply not providing a proper display. This may be showing wallframe geometry? (https://i.redd.it/x3vjdfsz3chy.jpg)
**ISSUE** - On Kanal, if you look through a glass display, smoke's gas becomes invisible. (https://i.imgur.com/PBlknx5.gifv)
>That Kanal model room glass case glitch:
You can also shoot people and be shot through it. In terrorist hunt AI also treat it as a wall and won't see you through it. You can also shoot down barricades through it too, except they will appear to take no damage and can receive 19 bullets before being broken at 20, even though individual boards will not be damaged at all. Pretty bizarre stuff. Will try to post some links later when I get time.
(http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Juxtapwned/video/27152172)
(http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Juxtapwned/video/27152268)
**ISSUE** - Wall clipping on Barlett University, allowing for you being shot from outside. (http://i.imgur.com/fVpAExk.gifv)
**ISSUE** - If a Montagne has his shield extended, and a player runs up and turns around, attempting to melee him, they will essentially be teleported (client-side, on their screen) behind Montagne, and be able to kill him.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Players are unable to ping through this window on house. (https://www.twitch.tv/videos/123878423?sr=a&t=8s) (First 30 seconds)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Matches may be stuck in an infinite loading screen after selecting characters.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes if you breach a wall with a Thermite charge (only tested breaching tool), the breach may destroy all of the metal reinforcement, however the wooden wall that was reinforced will remain, and will be entirely indestructible afterwards. (http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Adoboros/video/27368063) and (http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Adoboros/video/27368064)
**EDIT:** [More in-depth video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmnFHhAvQRI)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes, after shooting/creating (large) holes in wooden barriers/walls, you may see the wireframe geometry from where the wall should have been. This is similar to the issue that pulse has whilst using his scanner.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - If a player leaves immediately before the match ends, they will not lose ELO/experience, but the winning team will gain less due to the lack of players on the enemy team.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Frost traps may not be placed under some windows/locations on some maps, an example being (http://i.imgur.com/jcbfNO3.png)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - [Xbox One tested only] Sometimes in Terrorist Hunt, after shooting begins, a player's audio may become glitchy/stutter for the remainder of the match. This occurs whether VSync is on, or off.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - You are unable to place any form of gadget or deployable in (http://i.imgur.com/S3Dnrc2.png) location on skyscraper. (The purple ping, to the east of the hatch in Geisha room on skyscraper)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - After joining a match in progress as spectator (dead), the other teammates of the player that joined will show their respective operator icons above their dead bodies.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Mira's USP40 is making inconsistent shooting sounds. For example, as opposed to what would previously have been ""thud thud thud thud thud"", it will now be "bang bang bang thud bang"
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes your weapon will not fire the first time you press your fire button/key.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Heavy breathing may still be heard after exiting a DBNO (downed) state. (http://plays.tv/video/58ad865634c6d97aa6/u-b-i)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes, when queuing with a full party, not all players from the party will be placed in the game.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes, the P229 pistol, when shot, will produce a blinding, far greater muzzle flash than other guns. (http://i.imgur.com/tEEx45v.gifv)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - On Barlett University, you are still able to go INSIDE of the stairs. (https://gfycat.com/GiddySphericalDassie)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - On Consulate, if Echo's drone (Yokai) goes into Break Room, it will be considered "out of bounds". (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=maayYZ3mDvE)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes in Terrorist Hunt, the hostage (although it may be picked up) remains in the same position, performing any animations it realistically should be undergoing, such as running... only, again, in the position it initially spawned.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - On Barlett University, the furnace may not be seen from above, allowing for a one-way, wall-hack type effect. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJM2ckROs4o&feature=youtu.be)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - IQ's headgear often appears with a bugged, black texture clipping through her hair, and some helmets bend to a sharp point above her right eye. The best example of this being the Angel helmet.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - IQ's nails are purple (as usual) in first person, but appear to be black in 3rd person (from the pov of other players)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - All of Rook's headgear (apart from the default) have a bugged texture for his eyes
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - As Montagne, if you have your shield extended whilst someone is hitting it, once you return your shield to it's normal state (non-extended), you will not be able to move, fire, or anything of the sort whilst your shield appears to be thrown back.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Players are being placed into ranked matches that are finishing/nearly finished, and receiving rank punishments due to it.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Dropping through hatch in CCTV room on coastline can sometimes put you briefly 'out of bounds' as a defender.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Occasionally in terrorist hunt, whenever a terrorist breaks down a barricade, you may not be able to replace it.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - There have been instances of audio issues, such as Hibana's X-KAIROS pellets/Ash's breaching round not being able to be heard, or sound like reloading or explosions sounding much further away than they really are.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - The range of Fuze's Cluster Charge grenade's damage appears inconsistent, and at times absurdly large.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes when looking for a match, the UI will not display the estimated time remaining. (Tested only on casual)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - GTX 780 and 780ti GPU's appear to still have black flickering issues. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rK9qWHdvOf8)
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Some players are unable to purchase cosmetic skins, particularly for Buck's primaries. They receive the error "Unlock Failed" upon attempt.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Players are able to place shields in front of reinforced castle doors, forcing them to use a ranged explosive if they wish to get into the respective room.
**EDIT:** This also goes for windows, as players are sometimes not able to vault in due to a shield.
**ISSUE (Community Submission)** - Sometimes a door may not be visible for a player, whilst the game still agknowledges it's presence. (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hTw_gYrCeaA)
**ISSUE (Community Submission) [UNCONFIRMED]** - Unsure of how to better describe this, but I will quote the original issue post. Credit to /u/TuskanParahdus
I noticed following: A guy drops from a roof and is injured. He is "instahealed" by IQ but the deathclock is still ticking resulting him auto-dying while being already up on his feet.

Barricade desync stuff(appears gone while server says it still exists) has been an issue for the last few patches, at least.

I think this is a new one though, or at least one that has been brought back after an extremely long time.




I think something like this might have been around before, but that's nothing on all the broken gameplay stuff.

Hibana charges have a chance to not blow up walls at the moment but then they do after you set off another set of pellets next to the old duds, which I think is a regression on an old fixed bug?
