Serious ongoing issues with surface combat zones still have not been fixed!

I've reported numerous bugs with surface combat zones in U13 which are still current in U14 and are severely exacerbated by the remove of local relogging in U13. It doesn't look like these bug reports have even been looked at, much less fixed!

Most of the Odyssey content is centred on acquiring the equipment for fighting in combat zones and fighting in the combat zones themselves. These bugs collectively make surface combat zones unplayable (it feels like about) 60% of the time. These bugs have mostly persisted for quite a while, but the removal of local relogging at a settlement has made them almost intolerable.

Please fix these bugs as soon as possible! I don't see the point of trying to get everyone onto the new codebase of most of the content is this badly messed up.
The performance is much improved, but you can't enjoy it with these bugs.

It's been 570 days since release of odyssey and we still have abysmal performance of ON-FOOT CONFLICT ZONES.

How long it's going take take to fix performance?

Sorry for replying late, I was already busy preparing other tickets for similar bugs with on-foot CZ. 😓

And thanks for creating this thread, I'm totally with you on this! The current state of on-foot CZ in Open Play is pretty depressing at present. And it's been like that since last year. It's plagued with bugs that make it barely playable, especially in multi-player and Open Play.

Please FDev, you got to fix On-Foot CZ, it's too important!

About the tickets you mentioned OP:

---
1) 'POV gets dislocated'
This is actually the only one bug that I'm not familiar with.

---
2) 'Soldiers just stand there without moving'
This one definitely happens once in a while.

---
3) 'Surface combat zone completion bars get stuck, unable to complete CZ'
This one is IMO the most critical of all. It happens in Open Play / Private Group (not in Solo), pretty frequently (once every 4 CZs) and is completely game-breaking. Our crew is actively pushing to get this fix. FDev redirected us toward a specific ticket on the Tracker. Pls upvote and read our thread. FDev needs "netlogs". Thx!!

4) Joined on-foot CZ but player is not inducted properly, no progress bar etc.
This used to happen pretty often in Open Play. Very game-breaking too. But I still haven't tested it in Update 14. I don't know yet if they fixed it or not.

5) Cannot re-log at surface conflict zones
This is more of a design change than an actual bug, IMO. Even though I also liked better the old way of relog, I can live with the new one.

Tips: You can fast reset a CZ by coming with your own ship. Then kill yourself when on-foot (or click 'Retreat') and respawn in orbit, then super-cruise back to reset (~1min).
Or you can just reembark in your SRV or ship and relog.

Yeah the lack of local relogging at the site is annoying, but could be forgiven as a design choice IF it weren't for all these bugs. Blowing up the SRV, having to traipse 500m to board your ship, no local relogging... this stuff is all just there to waste players time. Relogging on the site has always been a part of ED's gameplay loops, it seems by design. It seems like a weird choice to take it out in this specific instance.

It kind of feels like a nerf, made on purpose. I'm not sure why, but FDev probably thought that On-Foot CZ payments or BGS effects were too high.

Problem is that they don't remove the bugs or awful RNG that leads players to use the re-logging.

Performance is overall quite good now, as are all other game modes in Odyssey. It's just that CZs are subject to stop many game-breaking bugs. It's really important to fix! Odyssey content is mostly focused on upgrading to efficiently grind High Ground CZs!

Great to see some interest about this serious issue!

But like I said, there's already a dedicated Ticket created and 'Acknowledged' by FDev. We have to centralize all our reports in this one and avoid creating duplicates. So would you mind to upvote and re-post your comments in there? Thx in advance!

Bonus step: FDev is also asking to send us "netlogs", if you can.
