List of Technical Issues Post Update #2

Here is a list of issues still plaguing 2042 post-update #2. Some related to update #2, some un-related. Most importantly these bugs are not mentioned in the 2 upcoming future updates. Please include this list in your tally of issues for correction:

  1. load out error where you lose all your attachments still exists. When playing single-player/co-op mode the error happens after every first or second round. The screen goes black with just your name tag up top, can't see anything for a while, then it loads into the map and all your load-outs are missing and you cant select any of them. This happens when you try playing the same co-op map twice after around or after about 3 random map choices. kaleidoscope is the worst culprit for this.
  2. When trying to get past others players or are close to other players your start bouncing around everything similar to when you are prone next to close geometry, your character starts to shake everywhere.
  3. You cant shoot enemy players through your teammates or through dead bodies. You also cant shoot through enemy players, damaging the enemy players behind, gaining additional collateral damage when attacked by a group. This is a key issue that results in you mostly dying when attacked by a small group. You could do this on other battlefields.
  4. Massive hit registration issues. JackFrags made a video about this when a lot of players are in one area, however, the problem exists in small engagements also. You will unload an entire clip onto someone and hit nothing and die. I have had this in 1 on 1's multiple times at close and long ranges. It is mostly present in distant engagement.
  5. Delayed or Very slow transition times between using a gadget or changing to your secondary or primary weapons resulting in you dying.
  6. In some instances, you are unable to select your secondary weapon. You click the button or scroll the mouse wheel but are unable to change the weapon.
  7. Grenades sometimes don't throw on the first click, so you have to mash the key for it to throw. Sometimes when this happens, the grenade throws and the animation shows the grenade out but never throws it.
  8. Sniper scope bug still exists where if you use the 8x scope it zooms is 1.25x. The only way to fix it is to change attachment and change back. But eventually, it comes back.
  9. Under-barrel grip attachments with the exact same specs ie. 2 attachments with reduced vertical recoil or 2 attachments with reduced horizontal recoil and same stats etc., actually result in different bullet spread outcomes. I was testing this for about 5 hours during single-player to find the best attachments, which showed varied results for all weapons (assault, marksman, etc).
  10. Vehicle turret turning speed in chase cam is different from inside the tank or vehicle. Chase cam being almost 2x faster than when inside the vehicle first person POV. They should match. (the faster being the preference)
  11. Hipfire sensitivity and ADS (right mouse button aim down sights) are not 1:1 like BFV, and cant be made 1:1 even with expensive online calculators. You should be able to make both equal sensitivities and feel the same. This appears to be a bug in the ADS design.
  12. The AK assault rifle has a delay when aiming down sights and pressing the trigger. I was testing this in co-op. when pressing mouse 2 and then mouse 1 to fire in quick succession or just normal, there is half a second delay to when it actually fires after the mouse click. Positive this is not by design.
  13. The SVK sometimes does not shoot relative to the scope crosshair. When firing the bullet fires off the center of all scopes, but the bullet lands where you aim. This is disorientating while tracking a target to judge bullet location. The gun recoils to the upper left, whilst the bullet shows it going to the right of where you aim.
  14. SVK barrel attachment champion muzzle break shows incorrect stats. +18 higher than the same attachment on other guns. That being said, it does not work as the stats suggest.
  15. Sometimes when you press a gadget, such as to throw armor or to just equip it, it does not actuate the command. This happens a lot with Angel.. you will click to bring out the ammo pack and then throw but nothing happens. You have to mash the key again (3 or mouse 1). Both commands have this issue.
  16. DLSS appears to be broken, along with DX12 and future frame rendering. When enabling them to 1 in the config file. They are not enabled in-game, and when enabling them in-game, and then checking the config file, they are still showing 0 (off).
  17. There is no difference in sound when changing the audio mode from War Tapes to any other. War Tapes appears to distort the sound and create crackling noises when moving the mouse over settings. This used to be the far superior setting, but now shows no difference and appears to be the most broken.
  18. Sometimes when you spawn, your T menu for gun attachments is massively enlarged on your screen to the point you cant select or change your attachment. This happens a lot after coming out of the troop transport plane.
  19. During chase cam within a tank (C), when you try and aim down at a target your crosshair will bounce up or around where you are trying to aim. It does not do this when in first-person view inside of the tank.
  20. The vignette to scopes needs to be removed at all percentages. The game is already so dark, that all scopes with a dark film on them are useless. A good example of this is the XDR Holo and the 8R Holo.
  21. Sometimes when you spawn in a tank or hit a tree, it will cause your in-tank camera (first-person POV) to bug where it consistently bounces around the screen. The surrounding black HUD in the tank will bounce around on your screen, sometimes affecting the crosshair also, jolting it out of position.
  22. You can frequently be shot behind solid objects such as walls or elevators, even though you are clearly behind cover.
  23. Bots are bugged when it comes to elevators and taking the top of tower objectives. They run around trying to find a way up. Some of them click the elevator button, run in and run back out. So only 2-4 of them make it to the top out of 64 bots, whilst all 64 enemy bots sit on the roof objective.
  24. When landing helicopters to let others in, at least 50% of the time they will blow up even with a perfect landing if you hit any object, no matter how small.
  25. Throwing ammo or health to players does not magnetize to the player in need. This is made worse by the fact running over an ammo pack/armor does not automatically pick it up. You have to sit over the top of it for a few seconds then it will pick it up. It should work so if you move over it, it is automatically collected, as stopping in the middle of the vast open areas in this game does not bode well for your life expectancy. 
  26. Sometimes in all-out warfare, you are connected to an international server, outside of your country resulting in +200 latency.
  27. There have been times where I call in a vehicle and it never drops even though the green circle confirmation is active. (orbital)
  28. Sometimes after I have been hacked in a vehicle and jump out mid hack cooldown (pixelated screen effect) or exit a vehicle in general, I am unable to use my weapons in any slot as infantry. Occurs most often on co-op. 
  29. The K30 ammunition stats do not change when you flick through them. Rate of fire and ammo capacity do, but the rest of the handling, power, etc don't. When you select high power magazine, it shows the same stats as a standard mag. 
  30. Persistence data error still persists.
  31. Tank turret can sometimes "break" by disappearing along with the crosshair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8p7o4S5iqg

  32. All vehicles have a shutter issue, where they shake whilst moving. https://youtu.be/KRTRN9WDa5E?t=638

  33. Nopat with wingsuit can fly through walls and has no sound when doing anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scMUDAD8oA4

  34. Ray-tracing in the game significantly reduces fps but does nothing visually. Potential coding error, similar to DX12 and Future Frame Rendering issues mentioned earlier.

  35. Some users are reporting that performance has reduced since the new update #2. I myself have not experienced this, though I do get significant FPS drops after changing any graphics settings, to the point the screen jolts around whilst I am running. It does resolve itself eventually though.

  36. People can fly a jet into enemy spawn areas decimating the enemy team before they can exit their spawn. Essentially spawn camping for kills. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_U4NPb94Egk

  37. Players can get trapped in the deployment chopper/planes at the start of a round.

  38. Wingsuit has no drop or gravity, resulting in players being able to essentially fly forever or across the entire map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlO3gjYN8sk
  39. On AKA-ART's recent YouTube Video (Quitting 2042), a player at the beginning of the map can be seen exploiting a bug in the Breakaway map, where he noclips his way through a wall and captures the objective, due to players being unable to find or see him. https://youtu.be/9ZkiHMVEp3Y 

I will update this list as more reveal themselves. Please pin, so I can continue to keep you (the developers) informed of any issues. Thank you.

Kind regards,
