Server-wide bug (no vehicle sounds, no ping, no spawn animation, no killcam ID)
This problem happens regularly, on official public matches.
I can confirm it affects all players on the server at the same time (i asked friends and other players in game chat).
I could not determine what causes the problem, but as soon as it happens, it lasts until the round ends.
It seems to 'disappear'/'correct itself' when the next round/map starts.
I play quasi-exclusively strategic conquest.
I think it started happening after the recent private match update (though it does not seem to be related to this specific feature : the bugs happen on official public matches).
Symptoms :
- no vehicle engine sounds (at least for tanks - i don't pilot planes - from inside, in 3rd person and from outside)
- cant ping (nothing happens when you hit the ping key - 'q' by default - neither red nor yellow ping)
- when you spawn from the map overview, the 'flying' animation from sky to 1st person view does not play and you appear directly in 1st person view
- The bottom ui element where you're supposed to see who killed you on the killcam is not present. You see where your killer is, highlighted in red as usual, tracked by camera as usual, but you can't see his name.
- the end of round happens without warning (no end of round music, you're abruptly sent to map overview instead of being 'frozen' in 1st person view when score reaches '0')
- as mentioned previously, all these symptoms happen simultaneously, for all players on the same match/server.
In my opinion, the absence of vehicle sounds and the inability to ping are very severe bugs (remember all players on the server are impacted at the same time).
I found another post mentioning the problem :
https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/mass-bug-on-servers/m-p/10004886#M31065
but i thought it deserved a better description 😉
I really hope this problem can be fixed and would gladly help however i can (don't hesitate to ask additional questions if needed)
Thanks
