10 Bugs I am seeing often + 3 suggestions

Since i have come to the game as of Season 3's beginning I have noticed several bugs that aren't being addressed and I would like to point them out in this post so it hopefully gets some visibility. I have also added at the bottom a few suggestions on how to tweak some parts of the game and quality of life improvements.

Bugs I have noticed so far:

1. Plane bug, can punch and even down a player that when jumps is in the downed state... this is in ranked and normals... great

2. Sound bugs and crackles even with the latest sound drivers and windows 10 versions. Sound is not accurate and sometimes you cant hear enemy movement from the correct positioning they are at. for example sometimes u will hear faint footsteps in your right ear, although they are approach from the left. ( this is with a hyperx cloud ii headset)

3. entering a match by yourself in rank multiple games, or minus 1 person. sure you get a loss prevention.. but this is happening too often

4. no hit reg many games even with good ping.

5. random errors from the client such as code leaf when i have no issues with any other games... all drivers up to date, windows up to date. pc runs smoothly and on a fresh install. yet somehow origin is getting random code leaf errors.. this is not a client issue.

6. aimbotters and cheaters not being banned fast enough. especially in the asia region where aimbotters are more frequent.

7. servers always appear to be lagging during peak congestion hours per region. nearly unplayable in a competitive sense. this is with fiber internet and checking download/upload speeds on speedtest. servers are always slow or lagging in some way.

8. allow the option to turn off incoming damage, rather than forcing you to use 2d or 3d so we can save a few FPS. I hardly ever need to use this as you should know where you are being shot from based on sound. hence please fix SOUND BUGS

This is just off the top of my head. I feel like there isnt enough posts asking your company to optimize your game better. Don't get me wrong this is a great game, and i am aware of the business models where events and skins = more revenue and is more cost efficient. But if you dont optimize your game, the player base will leave all that much quicker so it actually is a wise investment for the future of the game.

** Just saw another bug. 9.  In ranked after i was already dead, and my banner was already recovered.. When my other teammate died and his banner was recovered, on screen it showed that it was my banner that was recovered (again) not his. This is just a minor visual bug. but a bug nonetheless

10. had a game just now where the squad elimination screen was completely off center leaning to the right. the right most players banner was half cut off due to the whole screen being shifted to the right. i could exit the game normally. but yet another visual bug

*** other suggesions: ***

1. reduce muzzle flash. its just annoying to be honest. makes the game harder because you cant see your screen well when shooting. Its not like this game was trying to be "realistic" with its design.. 

2. new patch took away the count down timer to select legends, which was a good start but then they added a pointless other screen looking at skyhook while you wait instead... Please just remove the pointless screen and make it a loud sound/voice saying "select your legend"  instead of a countdown timer and have a app flash if you are alt tabbed. this will make the games proceed quicker which im guessing was the main intention for the change?

3. please post your hotfixes on the origin application screen or on the main menu underneath the newly well implemented patch notes feature so we can easily see some transparency to whats actually being looked into. and what fixes are made.

  • Good post write up.

    I have been here since launch and items 2-5 have been around since day one. So good luck on those being resolved. Pathfinder can still deploy a zipline behind you and come up said zip line and you don't hear a thing. 

    Teammate Wraith footsteps still sounds like Gibby crushing midgets yet enemy Wraith sounds like a whisper in comparison. 

    If you search the forums you will see multiple threads on most of the things you have posted going back months.Some like I said from launch.

    The developers are fixing what they deem important.

    - No damage when shooting a recently downed enemy.

    It hasn't always behaved this way; it was introduced at some point after Season 0.

    If it was an intended change, then the immunity needs to be presented as such (some kind of immunity halo).

    If it was an unintended change, it needs fixing.

    well, as you mention that there are other posts about some of the things i mentioned. This is also part of a point i would like to make that it isnt really clear if these bugs are being worked on. also, it takes time to scan/browse through all the posts to look at others talking about the same issues. I know this is the place for it, but its still difficult to consolidate and even if i did find other posts... are the devs really looking at them all? I figure the more someone posts on the same issues, the higher chance that they will look into them and try to fix them

    I think i also just found another bug where assists weren't being registered even if you take someone down more than half by yourself and get downed. Aren't you supposed to get an assist if you do more damage than the person who finished off the enemy? whats the current time window until the assist no longer appears? the enemy was downed within 3 seconds of me going down since my teammate was right there with me. I think assists might be having a problem registering.

    @TheJumpingJawa yea. somewhere not only where all the bug information can be consolidated, but also easy to find and address. like a link from the game menu or the origin application
  • Today i saw the DEV TRACKER on the main menu. This is amazing and a very great way to show transparency across what is being seen and what is being worked on. I know it mentions that not everything will be listed and that is understandable given certain circumstances, like  trying not to put out too early that a bug is noticed but not fixed and if it got out to everyone, people would exploit it more.

    Maybe allow a way for the users once logged into their apex account or something to be able to make a comment on some of the dev tracker items? Because what i noticed under each bug or item listed, at the bottom of the description, it says "Please send us your bugs!" - all that needs to be added here is a direct link to a way to send the bug. Im not sure with that description if it means to send you the bug via this dev tracker somehow or just via the official forums.

    Either way, this is great!
