Yesterday, for the 1st time in about 6 months I decided it’d be fun to do some battlegrounds, I quickly remembered why I stopped doing them, too many bugs, desyncs or issues with them that it quickly becomes frustrating and not fun
I didn’t record until the second game
The first game, I noticed that if I died with my bow in my hand, the angle which I hold my bow would change the 1st time I load a special arrow into it, not sure if it happens with a normal arrow as I always start with a special arrow (I will test this next time I log in)
Right near the end of the 1st match, I got the good o’ dead at graveyard where you then have to use the “to go graveyard” button to kill your dead self and then you can reawaken but this then shows your screen as red as you have no health, this fixes it’s self once you get hit, your health will show it’s correct amount, however it is annoying and if you don’t know how to fix it you’ll end up closing the game and wasting your time
The second game I got in, I had no items in my inventory at all, as soon as I died my bow broke, but because I had no items in my inventory I couldn’t fix it by switching bows/class, I exited the game, I reopened the game and when I clicked log in I got connection closed message followed by a black screen, at this point I started recording cause I was already getting annoyed by the bugs, I reopened the game, and it happened again, this time I had it on video, I managed to get back in on the third try, bow broke a couple of times and the game ended after like 2 minutes of me finally getting back in, huge waste of time
The third game was mostly my bow breaking every time I died, but then, right at the end, I didn’t get a scoreboard pop up, which is the only way of leaving the battleground so I had to then exit the game to get out
Fortunately my OBS was set up wrong so it didn’t record my microphone, so you don’t have to hear me complaining the whole time but here is 12 minute video hopefully you can use it to work out what is wrong with the game, I sent a “desync on death” bug report in-game before I recorded this so you’ll have a log from that, and then the scoreboard report at the end so you’ll have the log from that too
00:00 - 00:14 - Connection closed followed by black screen
00:56 - 00:59 - Bow breaks on the 1st shot after finally getting back online
01:05 - 01:14 - Have to change weapon on respawn to fix bow
05:00 - 05:08 - Slow death from bard which breaks bow @ 05:19
05:19 - 05:25 - Bow breaking cause I forgot to switch weapons after death from above^
05:33 - 05:40 - Death + fixing bow
05:54 - 06:00 - Death by Hamm - Breaks bow but I forget to fix right away
06:23 - 06:27 - Put poison arrow on bow and it breaks (sorry I was looking up) but you can see the angle of the bow change when I switch my weapons if you watch carefully
08:53 - 09:05 - death followed by bow breaking on piercing arrow
09:34 - 09:53 - Death followed by remembering to switch
10:43 - 10:45 - Death that breaks bow
10:58 - 11:04 - Bow breaking from the death above, can clearly see the angle change when fired
11:03 - Scoreboard pops up for DaHamm and he leaves - doesn’t pop for me
11:10 - 11:19 - I use stuck combat to get out of combat to fix my bow, I assume that I’m stuck in combat with DaHamm even though he isn’t there anymore, I get put back into combat after switching weapon?
11:25 - 12:02 - I notice everyone leaving, I look up and see the score, we won, I realise what is going off and report that I have no scoreboard or way to leave
