  • Problem since launch. Seems to happen at random times when overheating weapon. So, for each match, most of the time it overheats, it actually works as intended, it's only a few times that it bugs out.

    So this probably means they'll never fix this.

    My advice is to get used to the blue and yellow portions of the weapon you're using (these bars are unique for each weapon and nevewr change), as the black overheat bar bug doesn't prevent you from successfully hitting the blue or yellow portions of the bar, it just doesn't show them to you.

  • Hello @Starwarsnerd9000

    As @RogueZeroRendar correctly mentioned, this bug has been in the game since launch.

    I've made a video in a specific bug report for this already (I reported it in April, but it has been in the game since launch).

    Just as a tip: it is most of the time better to make one big thread then having multiple smaller ones. This way there is a better chance the devs will fix it. So if you want, please proceed to this post and state that you have had the same bug as well (and note your platform etc).

  • True but I didnt know it had been made earlier and it could have been with any kind of name so I wouldnt know even then.

    True!

    I am happy to see that there are more players that notice these small bugs in the game and report them. Only that way they might get fixed!

  • This is still happening! Sometimes the cooldown bar is completely black and invisible.

    I still don't know what causes this, but indeed it still happens and you have to time your cooldown flush based on your feeling.
