Developers. Load up a game vs bots and see how broken it is.

Just for an example, load into Arica harbour or any portal map because they perform the worst and test the vehicles.. 

Take a stealth chopper, keep switching camera's and flight modes and you'll see a few issues straight away. 

Stealth choppers

- 3rd person camera stuttering. Probably linked to the shader cache location in documents instead of appdata. 

- Broken audio. Engine sounds cut out completely or cut to 50% volume when switching camera's or switching flight modes. Stays this way until you respawn. 

- Broken environmental audio. Vehicle smoke launchers all popping off all at once or not at all. 

- Inconsistent splash damage. Flat land and raised areas are completely different. On raised areas there's barely any splash damage and you only damage bots with direct hits. 

- Broken texture renders surrounding the map where you cannot go on foot but can in air vehicles.

-  Ghosting issues when swapping weapons in vehicles. Sometimes they refuse to swap other times they swap multiple times on a single press. This doesn't happen in other games. I'd like to add that I have "switch weapon" mapped to a single button so it should swap weapons on the same button and that my primary and secondary weapon buttons are unmapped.  

Tanks 

- Shell rechamber crosshair icon breaks down/gets stuck. 

- Shells do not fire sometimes after multiple presses even though rechambering is finished according to audio cues.  

On foot

- Sometimes there's no input for sprint and then all of a sudden it sprints with no input. Happens when crouching/sliding every few minutes. Maybe a ghosting issue but doesn't happen in other games. 

- Sprinting animation sometimes bugs out and your soldiers arm will be in the middle of the screen instead of being at the bottom, holding your weapon. 

Misc 

- Friendly team markers are broken. Sometimes they show friendlies other times not. 

- Dead bodies are sometimes frozen statues. 

I have just upgraded my mid/high end PC with windows 10 to a completely new high end monster PC with windows 11 and all these issues still exist.

    Thankfully this is primarily just a visual problem so it's a super low priority bug, but it happens to me all the time and every time I giggle just a little bit. I hope they fix it in the next update, but honestly there are so many other problems that actually impact gameplay that take priority.

    Thanks for reporting. All of those have pretty much been reported before. The game is barely in an alpha state, so none of those actually prevent you from playing the game, regardless of how bad it is.
