List of bugs - REDSEC Season 4

1. Hit registration issues when playing from the same IP address

My son and I play from the same public IP address. Every time we play in the same match, the game behaves as if it is not registering all weapon hits. It often takes about twice as many bullets to down an enemy. There are also situations where a downed enemy requires an entire additional magazine to be finished off. Sometimes it is easier to down an enemy than to finish them, even though they are lying completely still.

The situation is slightly better when either my son or I play alone, although not always. We both use a 1 Gbit/s fiber connection and our ping is around 20 ms. Despite this, the game feels as if we are playing with 200 ms latency or even more.

Very often I start shooting first at an enemy who is facing away from me and has no idea that I am there. Despite this, they manage to turn around and kill me with two shots before I have any chance to react.

This does not appear to be a network issue on our side because we do not experience anything similar in other games. I also achieve very good results in other Battlefield game modes, such as Gauntlet. Additionally, I watch YouTubers playing REDSEC, and they usually down enemies with only 10-15 bullets, while in our case it often takes many more.

2. Unable to jump from the helicopter

Sometimes, at the start of a match, I cannot jump from the helicopter even though the squad leader has already jumped, so my character should have automatically followed.

The helicopter flies out of bounds, the 10-second death timer appears, and only about three seconds before it expires does my character automatically jump out. My character then dies in mid-air.

After respawning, another bug appears. The game sounds are no longer played from my current location but from the place where I originally died. This issue lasts until the end of the match, even if I die again or get revived by a teammate. I can hear vehicles and helicopters that seem to be right next to me even though they are actually somewhere else.

3. Overexposed screen

Sometimes the screen becomes extremely bright during a match. It turns almost completely white, making it impossible to see anything. Respawning does not fix the issue. The effect only disappears after starting the next match.

4. Game stuttering

Since Season 4, the game has started stuttering regularly. This did not happen before.

5. Permanent gas effect

After being hit by the Assault class gas, the gas effect remained active until the next redeploy.

Before getting a redeploy, I killed myself with my own grenades. A teammate revived me, but the gas effect was still active. My character continued experiencing hallucinations and remained at 1 HP even though both armor plates were still completely intact.

6. Looping music during loading

While loading into a new match, the background music loops continuously. Every 3-4 seconds the music restarts from the beginning.

7. Problems picking up items

Sometimes I cannot pick up an item with a single key press. I have to press the interaction key two, three or even four times before the game responds.

8. Problems reviving teammates

• Sometimes I cannot cancel reviving a teammate when I need to because I hear an enemy approaching.
• Sometimes the revive is interrupted automatically for no reason.
• At other times I cannot revive a teammate at all. Normally, whenever an interaction is available, such as opening a door or picking up a weapon, the interaction prompt appears on the screen. However, there are cases where the revive prompt never appears above a downed teammate, even though they still have plenty of time before bleeding out.

9. Automatically picking up items after opening ambulance doors

If I open the rear doors of an ambulance and there is a weapon, defibrillator or Redeploy Tower directly behind the doors, the item is picked up immediately after the doors open. This automatically replaces my current equipment. I have lost my weapon or another important item many times because of this.

10. Stuck after jumping from the helicopter

Sometimes, immediately after jumping from the helicopter, I appear in a random location on the map and cannot play.

My character, weapon and user interface are invisible. I only see a random part of the map. My teammates see me as dead, but they cannot use a Redeploy Tower on me.

Only after another teammate dies for the third time or the whole squad is eliminated do I finally see the helicopter jump animation. As soon as it finishes, the screen turns completely black and I cannot do anything.

11. Voice chat issues

Sometimes, after a match starts, I cannot hear my teammates or they cannot hear me. The only solution is to restart the game.

12. Black screen after the match ends

After a match finishes, while returning to the lobby, the screen often turns completely black and the game becomes stuck.

Voice chat continues to work, but the game never returns to the lobby, forcing me to close it manually.

13. Losing mouse control while deploying the UAV

When deploying a UAV, I temporarily lose control of my mouse. The deployment animation takes over mouse input, causing my character to rotate together with the animation.

14. Unable to place map markers while controlling the drone

It is not possible to place map markers while controlling the drone.

15. Game file verification

I have verified and repaired the game files many times. The process always finishes almost instantly and reports no problems, so this does not appear to be caused by a corrupted installation.

16. Hardware configuration

Both my son and I play on two almost identical computers:

• AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

Both computers are connected to the same 1 Gbit/s fiber internet connection.
