What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Colonicus
Are you playing in VR? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Fleet Battles
What were you doing when the bug occurred? Step by Step detail is helpful. In fleet battles vs AI. At the end of the match when tallying up your reward XP, game disconnects. No reward, have to reboot game to reconnect. Issue definitely not my end as I was watching something on other screen at the time and discord was running fine. .
Where did this issue occur? Please include menu name or in game location. At the end of the fleet battles vs AI. Has happened twice in a row.
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 07.10.2020 00:55
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
How severe is your issue? Can play, but it's highly frustrating
What happens when the bug occurs? No xp rewards from the match as connection is lost at the end of the battle.
What do you expect to see? A fix, although there are about 15 other things that need sorting on this broken game. Getting to the point where I want a refund, may buy it again once it's fixed.
Which ship were you playing? If not applicable, just answer "no" or "none." Was switching between A-wing and Ywing through the match
What components were you using? Unknown.
Which customizations (if any) were you using? not sure.
Tried playing fleet battles against AI to get my eye in as I'm level 4 and not tried it yet and was going to play ranked with friends once I hit 5. Which I would have done after my first game against AI.
At the end of the battle I got disconnected, just at the point of receiving the XP rewards. The reconnect button on the main menu didn't work.
Had to restart the game, but haven't got the XP rewards I should have had.
No desire to complete another game just for the same thing to happen again. Luckily I can at least rank up in dogfights.
It is incredibly frustrating as you need XP to rank up and unlock the components you want to use, some of which give a big advantage in particular game modes or situations.
Not only is this happening.
I cannot play beyond mission 9, as I'm getting the infinite loading bug which I've reported elsewhere.
I'm getting tons of interface issues with menus and on screen prompts not responding properly when your using a keyboard and flight stick for in flight controls and a mouse for the menus. Which is the obvious way to do it if your on PC. The game keeps prompting me to press button 8 or 11 etc. when there are only 7 buttons on the joystick. Why isn't it using the keyboard shortcut instead? It can't be that hard.
The situation is starting to get very silly now and I'm at the point of wanting a refund, but because the issues only present themselves late in the campaign or in the multiplayer section which I was going to wait to play after I'd completed the campaign I've already played for 11 hours and am not eligible for a refund on steam.
The underlying game is great and the people involved clearly put a lot of effort into the game. Really love the nostalgic similarity to x-wing etc. while still being it's own thing. Having said that the game has clearly been rushed to launch unfinished or not fully tested. Most of the issues are clearly just a lack of polish or lack of chance to get things working correctly before launch.
Even the AI is broken. Just stopping dead in their tracks for no reason, or waiting while being shot at because your not quite in the right place for the next phase of the mission to start.
It's very disappointing as there's tons of potential here, but the games so buggy that even people who like it, like myself are starting to lose faith.
Something major needs to be done ASAP. Classic lazy or overly rushed development from EA that is going to rely on a patch to fix things, but you'll have lost too many players by then.
I even considered not buying this game because it was EA. I thought, "no don't be silly they won't screw up another launch.....". Clearly I should have waited.
