Bug List

[Codex0]

With the upcoming release of battlefield 2's new patch, it's about time we made a list of what actual gameplay bugs and / or changes we would like to see for the next patch

Obviously no content will be added.

General Bugs:
Titan Related Bugs:

• Titan Related: People can move the titan to locations that force the missiles to miss, thus the titan taking no damage. (Discussion)
• Titan Related: Sometimes when podding onto the titan, you will go straight through it.
• Titan Related: People can still glitch into the containers in the middle of the titan, making them impossible to kill while they can happily destroy you.
• Titan Related: If you fall the small height from one part of the side of the titan to the bit that sticks out, it will instantly kill you.
• Titan Related: The titan can sometimes become invincible.
• Titan Related: Sometimes a second PAC gunship won't spawn, restricting pac to only one gunship at a time.
• Titan Related: Randomly, a player is unable to spawn on their titan for the whole round. This can only be fixed by either a new map loading or rejoining the server. (Thanks LordsOfKaos2142)
• Titan Related: When placing a beacon on top of those cylinders on top of the titan on friendly fire off servers, the beacons become a part of your titan making them impossible for you to destroy.
• Titan Related: Dropping down to the upper deck of the titan (Level with the vent entry holes) causes instant death in some spots also. (Going prone and crawling off results in serious injury). (Thanks jblackrupert)

Conquest Related Bugs:


Vehicle Related Bugs:

• Vehicle Related: Tank shells often don't register on moving vehicles, even though on your screen you hit them directly. (Although this won't obviously effect attacking infantry with tank shells as the damage spread would more then kill them.)
• Vehicle Related: The pod sometimes randomly explodes and forces you out, sometimes happens when leaving the apc also causing you to either fall to your death or land strangely.
• Vehicle Related: When parachuting, if your parachute opens and a player is above you, you will teamkill that player.
• Vehicle Related: When parachuting, if you land on an object like a dumpster, you will slowly, VERY slowly slide off of it with the parachute still deployed making you very useless and vulnerable until you finally make the 5cm drop to the ground.
• Vehicle Related: Rarely the EU Transports right side mounted gun will not deal any damage. (Thanks DocDurch)

Weapons Related Bugs:

• Weapons Related: Sometimes when players are revived, their weapons are invisible / not showing.
• Weapons Related: When firing a weapon sometimes the effects will not happen, so the gun shaking / flashing won't show but bullets are still hitting your target.
• Weapons Related: Glitching into objects by using the support shield.
• Weapons Related: "Ghost Reloading", where when you reload your weapon model doesn't show that you are reloading, then sound of reloading still happens and you still get reloaded, although this can get you in trouble when you think you're ready to attack or defend yourself but can't. (Thanks C-Kinetic)
• Weapons Related: Sometimes motion mines will chase friendly vehicles.
• Weapons Related: When selecting which unlocks you want to use, sometimes it will randomly change which kit you have selected, but if you are dragging an unlock, and drag it to a slot on the changed kit you will still spawn as the original kit with the correct unlock. (Very confusing bug though.)(Thanks JohnSmokin)
• Weapons Related: When you pick up a kit like support from a medic get an ammo box down to resupply yourself if that support kit re-supplies and you pick up your old kit and re-supply the sound of the re-supply keeps on going until you die. (Thanks C-Kinetic)
• Weapons Related: When the sentry is placed on the titan it fires at enemies it cannot physically see, while this may be because of the way it detects, bullet effects still come through the walls and make impact sounds on you even though they do no harm unless in direct firing range. (Thanks RanCorX2)

Player / Role / Spawn Related Bugs:

• Squad Related: The squad bug, where you spawn in a new round, already in a squad, you can not leave the squad, or talk to anyone in the squad, and no one in that squad knows you are in the squad either. You have to rejoin the server and reload the map to fix this.
• Commander Related: The bug/glitch which allows commanders to also be in a squad. This is done by accepting to be a commander and joining/creating a squad at the exact same time which is fairly easy to time.
• Spawn Related: Sometimes when loading into a map, you will be thrown on to a random flag, with a random kit, and have no idea what is going on. (Thanks JohnSmokin)

Engine Related Bugs

• Engine Related: The field of view when using a widescreen resolution is incorrect (See: http://imk.cx/pc/widescreenfixer/comparison.jpg)
• Engine Related: The hud is stretched instead of being spread out (Probably can't be fixed)
• Engine Related: The stretched hud causes some overlay glitches on various selection screens (This can also effect the commander making him select the wrong thing by accident)
• Engine Related: Very short falls on certain textures cause damage. (Black diamond plate texture appears to be the worst) (Thanks jblackrupert)

Map Related Bugs:

• Sidi: You can pod into the wall of the transport on sidi at silo 2. (You can pod into the titan the same way.)
• Fall Of Berlin: The wall of the building at the first flag can be podded into, allowing players to glitch kill and camp the flag.
• Operation Shingle: Glitching into the wall by the back of the uncap in shingle. From here some spawn points are covered and some of the assets can be emped. Not sure how this is done. (Thanks LordsOfKaos2142)
• Camp Gibraltar: The ladder on the building across from the Harbor Flag. The one between the next tot rorsch between the building and the tank on the railroad side. You have to jump to climb it. (Thanks VectorRoll)
• Camp Gibraltar: The rail road tracks need to be lowered a little. (Thanks VectorRoll)
• All Maps: Ladder bug, when start to go up a ladder, your body flashes at the top of the ladder and the enemy know you are going up the ladder. This gives the player at the top a huge advantage. (Thanks C-Kinetic)

Gameplay Changes


Patching Bugs:

• If you install 2142, then patch to 1.5, then install northern strike, when trying to patch the northern strike files it wont work. You have to install 2142, patch to 1.4, install NS, patch to 1.4, then finally patch to 1.5

Northern Strike

• We request that DICE please make this fantastic booster pack free to play as has been done with battlefield 2's expansion packs. The expansion Northern Strike is great, and so under appreciated because so many people just haven't played it yet.
• Northern Strike Related: Registering Northern strike fails for a LOT of people forcing them to contact support to register it manually. (Also, If the Northern Strike registration problem is not client related it would be nice if whomever is responsible for it could be notified to get it fixed. It is probably the number one reason for low NS populations on servers.) (Thanks jblackrupert)

Please post more, and I will add them to this list

[Codex0]

Reserved just in case.

[LordOfKaos2142]

Good idea for a thread. I think however that gameplay changes should be separated from bugs simply because there will be much disagreement and discussion over whether certain things need changing. See the rocket deviation thread for an example of that.

2 more to add:
Titan: Bug where you are unable to spawn on your own titan for the whole round.
Map: Glitching into the wall by the back of the uncap in shingle. From here some spawn points are covered and some of the assets can be emped. Not sure how this is done.

Unsure if this is a bug or not:
Being unable to spawn on the squad leader if the beacon is taken out until the squad leader dies and respawns.

I'll see how it goes

Bugs added :> thank you

The squad leader thing happens because the leader has used his beacon up, sort of like using ammo, so it's not a bug.

I wasn't sure if it was as intended or not. It makes beacons decidedly less attractive.

The reason I suggest moving the gameplay changes to another thread is that they are entirely subjective. In my view the Voss and PKs do not need adjusting and if they are adjusted then so should the Krylov, Scar, Herzog, Clark, etc.... The bugs/glitches on the other hand are something the majority of players would want sorted.

[C-Kinetic]

Yeah like that pain in the lala "ghost reload" that does my nut in lol,, make a flag by flag mode and change 16size maps from 100 tickets to 200,,,

Am happy lol

They have been moved to here. Thanks for your help

You are right, the main thing I want is bug fixes

Am happy lol

Ghost reloaded added. The gameplay suggestion changes can be made here. although I doubt they will ADD any new content, let's just focus on balance at this stage (And mainly bugs in this thread)

[johnSmokin]

sometimes when i press "join game" at the server load screen i get thrown in to battle at a random spawn with no unlocks instantaniously.

also while at unlock screen you will be moving some items then it changes your kit (this one is really annoying)

[Codex0]

Just added more bugs.

EDIT: Bug added john, thank you

EDIT 2: Subjects broken down

ty for explaining better. so im not the only one whom that has happened to?

will hop on 2142 later with my bro and let him know we are looking for bugs, lol

[Codex0]

Lol yeah I have it happen quite a bit, sometimes it spawns me with the voss too and I don't even have that unlocked o_O but it hasn't done it since I fresh installed a month or two ago.

Thank you very much :>

[Fruity-Tootie]

I shoot people and they don't die so I scream about hit-reg. ^^

[Ap0stacy]

Sometimes you get stuck in a squad and you can't get out of it, no matter how much you try to leave it. That and you and other players see your name grayed out, like you're dead but you're clearly not.

Even though it's not a bug, Clarks and specifically RDXs need to be fixed.

[VectorRoll]

Just so you all know. This patch that we are going to have is not going to have as much as what BF2 had. So I do not want you all to give your hopes up in thinking that everything here will be address since I stickied it. This is just a list of what we all want to be looked at. So if you all notice anything please post it and lets just hope that they are able to address it.

For me personally; the one thing on this list so far that I want addressed the most is the Squad Beacon the becomes a part of the Titan. I have my doubts that they will be able to address it but I hope that they do.

One thing that I want to add to this list which I have noticed that is not listed yet is this.


Map Related: Camp Gibraltar

1. The ladder on the building across from the Harbor Flag. The one between the next tot rorsch between the building and the tank on the railroad side. You have to jump to climb it.
2. The rail road tracks need to be lowered a little.

I am not sure if they will be doing any map adjustments but I wanted to add that to the list just in case.

[C-Kinetic]

Ladder bug , when start to go up a ladder , your body flashes at the top of the ladder and the enemy know you are going up the ladder,,

(nice when you are at the top , not so nice when you are going up it lol)

Weapon Bug , when you pick up a kit like support from a medic get an ammo box down to resupply yourself if that support kit re-supplies and you pick up your old kit and re-supply the sound of the re-supply keeps on going until you die, most annoying when you are trying to listen for enemy foot steps Grrrrr

[Ap0stacy]

Oh my Clark bug is... that it can be used for long range purposes, along with its rapid fire ability, and still damage and hurt you to a considerable degree <_<

Don't think it's a 'bug' though... RDX's just need to be able to kill the person who placed them and their allies, that'll stop spamming and RDXs being used to go to high places.

[Fruity-Tootie]

I've actually been noobing it up with the RDX recently, on FF on of course, and it's quite fun as it takes quick reflexes and to be able to get to an group of enemies, planlalalaX and then quickly find some cover so you can blow it quickly. ^^

[RanCorX2]

best bug list I've seen so far. good work.

[Sakke84]

Sadly this list is useless, because they are going to only fix bugs that takes minimum effort.

[Fruity-Tootie]

That's what I like to see, pessimistic posts before they even begin.

I do what I can

[RanCorX2]

the sad thing is, he might be right..

[DocDurch]

Nice work here !

I´ve got also something :

The EU Transport : The Gun on the right side doesn´t make any damage. Sometimes when u shoot it does but thats realy not often.

If u jump and use your parachute u won´t die !!!
