Engineers The 2.1 Bugs list.

Kizbot

Kizbot
This is an information post to help make people aware of what is already logged as a bug for 2.1
The bug reporting area is obviously going to be pounded with reports as 2.1 has just dropped and it’s going to need some fixes. :eek: To make their life easier and save people inadvertently spamming the same bugs in similar reports, I thought it might useful to have a bit of clarity on what is already logged as a bug and what is already being looked into by the dev team. Having a couple of hours in and out of this morning, I put this together. Sadly not in any order of severity or importance. If you experience any of these bugs, consider posting your report in the related links below, that way there will be singular threads of many posts reporting the same bug instead of many threads with singular posts reporting the same bug.

I have highlighted anything I believe is related to missions in yellow, although you may need to click the related link to see details of what mission type it is.

Fixed! Thanks FD we love you.

Ø Becoming hostile with a station while docked at it causes the station to instantly kill upon take off, placing the cmdr back inside said station for rinse/repeat. Caused by either failing missions or from handing in missions that cause station owning faction to become hostile.

*If this is on a planet - can be resolved by opening game in 1.6 without horizons and you will be put into orbit. Make sure you sell any other ships you have there or may not be able to get those assets back.*
*UPDATE* - When resurrecting at a station controlled by a hostile faction, automatically adjust the reputation up to disliked to avoid unnecessary peril

Ø PP enemy ships majorly OP and attacking without regarding airspace restrictions. Also being attacked from factions when both factions are of same super power.

*UPDATE* - Stop NPCs deciding to attack if they only attack opposing powers and the player and AI powers are aligned to the same superpower

Have any of these affected you? Make sure that are always quick to press that F10 key because screenshots of weird stuff help the devs a lot. I'll try and update this when I see new reports crop up later.
I hope this helps a least a few people. :cool:

To get the word around, everybody who was shocked at all the npc's carrying engineer modified weapons and insta-killing should also be reading this from Zac.

As a note to anyone that thinks they may get involved in reporting bugs, after reporting a bug there is a likely chance you will be asked to either supply a DxDiag or a Verbose netlog. I recommend having this enabled before hand by doing the following to save yourself having to recreate the bug after being asked to enable it.

Instructions to provide Verbose Netlogs as provided by QA Jonny

Please access your AppConfig.xml which be found in the projects folder where you installed the game and open this in Notepad. You'll see a block near the bottom named "Network". Please insert the following lines somewhere in that block -

ReportSentLetters="1"
ReportReceivedLetters="1"
VerboseLogging="1"

Any new network logs produced will now include more detail, which will help with the investigation.
Then attach the corresponding network log.
AppConfig file location (default):

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER
Netlogs location (default): C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER\Logs
Once you have encountered this issue and have sent the logs, feel free to remove the line of code from the AppConfig file.

When people pay to be BETA testers the testing is not as thorough as when you pay BETA testers.
They mostly produce youtube video's about the new content and after release there is a list like
this. [big grin]

Good to see that every bug I've run into (so far) has already been reported.

There's are plenty of dedicated beta testers. I'm admittedly not one of them. However, having forums filled with bugs doesn't mean Frintier will fix them. Many of these bugs were reported during beta, just as many bugs still persist from 2.0 beta. FD just haven't fixed them

I guess they have to prioritize between showstoppers and minors, sometimes seemingly small bugs will open a can of worms if fixed.

I have seen multiple times a bug go completely ignored because the cmdr reporting it didn't supply a DXDiag, which I believe is asked in the bug forum.

So if anyone is reporting bug, please attach a DXDiag if you want the bug report to be taken seriously. Even if you think the bug is easy to reproduce from any computer.

*which reminds me I need to add one to my latest bug report - practice what you preach mister :eek:*
