LOOT BOXES INVISIBLE AT GAME START - MAJOR BUG
This is driving me absolutely insane and I can't believe this isn't being talked about more.
THE BUG: When you land at the beginning of a match, loot boxes/crates DO NOT APPEAR in buildings. They're just... not there. Completely invisible. But here's the kicker - if you LEAVE the building and then GO BACK INSIDE, suddenly they all pop in and are visible.
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
- Drop into any location at match start
- Enter a building immediately
- Look around - NO LOOT BOXES visible
- Exit the building
- Re-enter the same building
- BOOM - all the loot boxes magically appear
This is a MASSIVE disadvantage because:
- Early game is about speed - you're wasting precious seconds leaving and re-entering buildings
- Enemy squads who know about this bug can exploit it while others are confused
- You look like an idiot running out of buildings that "have no loot" only to get killed by someone who already looted them
- It's RNG whether you even realize the bug is happening or just think the building is empty
it happens CONSISTENTLY at game start. It's not a one-time thing, it's not my PC, it's not my connection. This is a rendering/asset loading issue that affects everyone but not everyone has figured out the workaround yet.
DICE/EA - THIS NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR KNOWN ISSUES LIST
This is literally affecting core gameplay and loot progression. How is "Multiple assets may appear to pop in when using helicopters" in the known issues but THIS isn't?
Platform: PC (but I've heard console players mention this too) Game Mode: Battle Royale primarily, possibly Gauntlet Frequency: EVERY SINGLE MATCH at game start
Anyone else experiencing this or have I discovered the world's dumbest bug?
