The Complete Bug Report List

[PM_RedOne]

Instead of having a bunch of topics with bug reports and repeated reports, let's just make on big topic on it and list all the bugs/glitches in a neat package for the GM's and Admins to skim over. So, here are the reported glitches/bugs:

Bugs:

1) When in a battle zone match sometimes you start with a NPC vehicle in your path and gives the other players a great advantage.

2) When going through the battle zone tutorial, the clock still counts up while you're being instructed.

3) The GPS arrow sometimes indicates the wrong way and it is also hard to tell sometimes whether the arrow points left/right. Also, more of a warning as to when to change direction would be appreciated.

4) Cars sometimes don't move when directional keys are pressed.

5) Change in MPH is laggy.

6) Numerous Misspellings and grammatical errors. (But since its BETA i'm sure translating Korean perfectly was the least of thier worries and they probably know about them already)

7) Text cuts off (this is listed under the known Bugs/Issues on the main page, but just so nobody else repeats it)

8) Some puncuation errors with words coming out as question marks.

9) When jumping off of ramp trucks you ALWAYS get scratched, stuck, or crash.

Glitches:

1) When going 200MPH+ you can go through fire hydrants and poles.

2) When you hit the walls you start to glitch a little and get kinda stuck.

3) In Battle Arena, Whenever you boost (use your booster, or gain the 15 second accelerated boost after passing thru a gate), you become invincible... you can clip cars and go thru stuff without any penalty.



Please post any other bugs in this topic and I'll add them to the list as needed. Thank you!

The walls(at the ijji spot) is probably because of his lag, alot of what he said(in the post i read) was he lagged.....everywhere

I personally ran into the walls at the 2nd ijji spot because i had nothing better to do, nothing happened

Peace

[AK-AKA-239]

actually i made a mistake it just glitches a little when u run into walls (might be part of the game tho) k

[xevanxsinx]

THERES NUMEROUS MISSPELT WORDS AND GRAMMER.
1)on the 1st huv chase mission it says "you may not be aware of you destination"

2)when you vist instrutor duffy he says "if you want to know about coupons me, press spacebar." the "me" makes no sence

and the one i just got was number
3)after a 96 set combo you get kicked off.(maybe it was just my comp. ill try agian.

[deuce_]

I'll just repeat what i said in the other thread.....the game closing slow isnt because of the game...case in point, it took me maybe 2 seconds(rounding up) to close the game...

Havent had the car not move when i hit the buttons either....

But thats just me

Peace

[xevanxsinx]

yeah took me and easy 2-3 secs to close game. but i cant sign in now.

*List Updated*

-Removed the exiting takes too long bug report
-Moved the wall glitchiness bug to glitch section
-Added the misspellings/grammar errors

[Michael the Coder]

nice thinking RedOne.

[PM_RedOne]

Thank you!

*List Updated*

Added
-Bug number 7 and 8

[Napolean]

The grammar and spelling errors are most likely due to the fact that the text was translated to English, so its not exactly a bug.

[br0k3n]

Grammer is jsut the translation because thier words are in differnet orders

[[evam]]

THE wall glitches seems to be how the camera goes behind the wall and seems like the car is also inside the wall but just part of it. does anyone know how to screenshot so we can easily identify and present the glitches?

[[evam]]

one of the annoying things i found in here is that when i try to close the game, the sound still plays in the Bg for about 5 seconds after the game closes. any one else observed this?

[PM_RedOne]

Note to whoever made the statements about grammar "bug", notice I did say that it was due to translation errors that were overlooked since it is only in BETA and grammar and spelling weren't top priority.

[The food man]

Another thing I've noticed (im surprised no 1 noticed it yet!!) after you get done drifting or making a hairpin turn/ hard turn you car seems to want to drift in the opposite direction of the way you drifted for like 7 seconds. It's annoying and only occurs (from what I've found) past about 180 mp/h. Anybody else with this problem? Also:
- When jumping off of ramp trucks you ALWAYS get scratched, stuck, or crash.

[PM_RedOne]

not EVERY time but most of the time ya do. I'll add that to the list food man.

[ddrsephiroth]

lol, I knocked HUV i was chasing through the wall...
he stopped and never got out!

[xevanxsinx]

rofl. this game will still need work.. but hey. free beta game time :P

[deuce_]

Yeah, but what did you expect when jumping off a ramp truck ;)

I dont know if this was intentional or not, but if you hit a HUV at the right angle you seem to get stuck together and you can just drive forward and they're done for

You can screenshot with the print screen button(usually up and to the right) after you hit it open up a photo editing program(or just paint) and paste it in there. Obviously this limits your screenshot taking abilities compared to a button that justs saves screenshots, but it works nonetheless.

[The food man]

yea... I don't think they should fix the HUV glitch. I can't seem to get it to work quite right. T.T I honestly want em to keep it in just cuz it's awsome. XD

[xevanxsinx]

ok ok it seems that i need to explain screen shot more in my post.
to take a screen shot hit pirnt screen. the pic is saved to the screenshot folder in side of the skidrush one
. if you dont know how to get there just open my comp. go to program files click skidrush and go to screen shots


kk .. ithink i need to and this to the post a while ago i made

[Michael the Coder]

the words coming out as question marks is not a bug. Just Add Korean in your IME (Control Panel - Date, Time, Regional, Language Options - Regional and Language Options - Advanced Tab - Check Korean. Question mark problem should be fixed, but there will be korean signs instead of question marks.

[Atvaark]

I prefer questionmarks before korean.

[br0k3n]

This is a good forum

I have spent hours trying out the game and getting the bugs to work for proof that is exists and congratz i got almost allt o work so no false ones were applied!

[Kalakarinth]

Weird bug when pushing a car you can push them out the side of the level.-

[strikerbolt]

I feel i need to point out that I don't always get stuck, "scratched" nor crash when i use a ramp.
However, it seems really weird if i don't hit the ramp Just Right.
I.E. my car goes off the ramp, it flies at an angle, then suddenly rights itself upon landing, and i can't turn for 1-2 seconds.

I will say this: what's the point of a ramp on the streets if there's 10 cars surrounding it (no way to use it)?

also: after roughly 3 hours of gameplay, the game starts heavily lagging and then crashes (innate Take-A-Break moment? :P )

YUP SERVER USAGE THATS WHY YA LAGGIN

[CyberCow]

I cant go to the Arena becuase each time i join a game, all the compoments of the HUD are replaced by white boxes & the lag makes it very unenjoyable.

[Aquakc]

3) The GPS arrow sometimes indicates the wrong way and it is also hard to tell sometimes whether the arrow points left/right. Also, more of a warning as to when to change direction would be appreciated.

the arrow doesn't mess up it looks like it does because of lag

[deuce_]

On one of the second zone missions, you have to drive to the observatory and tail a HUV, When you get there you get a message, and of course the HUV takes off while youre dealing with it, and because of the space the clock on trailing missions sets in. And it doesnt help that this cars turbos outta there ;)

I saw something similiar on your page, regarding the duel arena tut, and i think its safe to say that the game counts regardless of messages, and im willing to bet this will happen on any mission similiar to this one.

Peace


And to aqua's post....i think so too, ive noticed every bug report in that post involved "everything is laggy" and i havent been able to reproduce most of them, so i attribute them to lag for the time being.


ok ok it seems that i need to explain screen shot more in my post.

Yeah.....i said prnt screen didnt i...

Im confused

[strikerbolt]

I found another glitch: In Battle Arena, Whenever you boost (use your booster, or gain the 15 second accelerated boost after passing thru a gate), you become invincible... you can clip cars and go thru stuff without any penalty.

i haven't attempted to intentionally boost through a car yet though

EDIT: There's also another odd (but entertaining) glitch concerning running out of fuel and driving backwards, but credit for finding that and clueing me in to it goes to Vash, and NOT me

[McJagger]

if this turns out to be something nub, tell me and i'll delete it:clap:

-Damage boosters not decreasing in numbers when used

-Being able to go through objects without any kind of repercussion but going top speed towards a quest checkpoint where you have to stop and drifting into the pole, goes right through sometimes.

[Terranwolf]

Bugs:
9) When jumping off of ramp trucks you ALWAYS get scratched, stuck, or crash.


Glitches:
1) When going 200MPH+ you can go through fire hydrants and poles.
Last Updated: May 31st, 2007 2:30am EST

Technically, that's always going to happen. The faster you go, the less damage you will take.
As for going though things, yes, you can. I do not think that's a bug at all. Notice how the items react when you hit them.

[McJagger]

I've been through the poles the way I described and they dont react at all, its like they werent even there!

[Remni]

Here's one to add. I'm not sure if it's a glitch or not, but whenever you get a combo to a certain length, (I think it happened to me at like a 507 combo) this weird message pops up with a countdown screen. It's done this twice to me, and it's messed me up before too cause well it's just plain annoying. The message is just a LOOOOOT of "???"s.

[Cyphe]

4) Cars sometimes don't move when directional keys are pressed.

this only happens if your car has been left still, and you press a directional key before you press forward, it doesnt turn that direction, until you repress that key

e.g. → ↨ instead of ↨ →

[deuce_]

Theres a special boost in the battle arena(the 15 second boost) that you may be talking about, im not sure, but it sounds like it.

The boost does exactly what you stated.

But meh, i dont really know


As for going through poles at 200+, to test that out, i was flying down the street at 280 and went smack into a pole.....ill have to take a screenshot next time i guess

[warren2007]

when ever i do the battle arena, the game freezes when the race is supposed to start

also, im having problems downloading t5he new updates since the time change. It wont dowload it says "there was an error while dpwnloading Drift City Game files. Oress confirm to retry after 5 seconds (code 2, 12002_)

[strikerbolt]

Yeah, I went back to test it out and its the regular 15 second boost that lets you not take damage. Regluar boosting, however, if you clip or scrape against an NPC car you take no damage.

Also, Whenever i run the game in full screen, i experience more lag problems than i do when i run it in windowed mode.

[Soma-Atlasia]

Here's another glitch that needs looking into although I think someone might have posted this already:

- Officer Heather's quest where you have to go thru 80 of her posts to clear. When you're about to hit the 50th post, the game freezes and then crashes. You keep the exp you've gathered but you have to do the quest all over again.

- When chasing HUV's, they sometimes tend to go thru buildings when skidding and get very far ahead from doing it, making it impossible to catch up to them at crucial times.

This is all I got so far, I'll be checking more when I get a chance.

[PM_RedOne]

ok, sorry for not updating this. been on a mini vacation.

*Currently updating list*

[deuce_]

Also, Whenever i run the game in full screen, i experience more lag problems than i do when i run it in windowed mode.


Your computer uses more of its ram/memory/etc to run a game in full screen versus windowed mode, So thats to be expected.

I dont know, the easiest way i could explain it, was if you were drawing a picture on a small piece of paper, versus a larger piece of paper, you would expect to exert more energy and time right? Same thing here, only this picture moves ;)



8) Some puncuation errors with words coming out as question marks.



Those arent question marks, your computer isnt set up to read it correctly, its in another language, you could fix it so it shows up and words, but you wouldnt understand what it says anyway, so their isnt much point

Peace

[thunderbilt]

Im pissed off. the game is too dam laggy. after 20 minutes of tring to stop hitting wall cuz of lag. it ran some wat better then out of nowhere it froze. i hate this ****************. i even download a new program to make my connection faster. still the game laggs. :mad:

[Prelude]

you keep hitting the wall? are you sure its not your computer? this game does not lag.
