[2021] Dev tracker updates for October 22nd 2021

1 change today, appears to be moving jukebox music to the music slider.

This is a list of the current issues and any changes to the development Trello board found here https://trello.com/b/sXUnAzpW/community-back-4-blood

As always new changes at the top of their category.

"Coming Soon" is assumed to be completed or nearly completed and in testing stages. "Active" is what is believed the devs to be assigned to and currently working on, and "To-Do" are future plans/issues to address.

Sorting on the board does not appear to be indicative of time added or importance, so this post is sorted by newly added/moved items, timestamped events then what remains on the board. Not all items have descriptions or timestamps.

We are working on it, we actually had a fix for the next patch, but it was to risky to get in quick. We think it's actually a couple issues

Would love some updates and details on this. Game is unplayable, so the sooner this gets fixed the sooner I can start playing and buying stuff. It's just there on my Xbox taking up space doing nothing atm

We think it's a couple things, I haven't worked on controllers much, so I'll try and explain.

Exponential and linear camera acceleration when turning the camera. Other popular titles allow folks to switch between a couple of styles of camera acceleration, I think warzone has linear, S Curve and inverted S Curve, we think a sizable amount of folks come from a game that does it a particular way and if you don't have the option to set it that way, it's going to feel strange.
Aim assist snap time is not fixed/linear and too slow. This makes aiming feel pretty sluggish with aim assist on.
Camera magnetism will fight over targets when in aim down sights. This pulls your camera all around in a not cool way.
The deadzone default is too high and you can't adjust it with precision.
There are more fixes coming, I am just not sure of specifics. I am actually going to track down a retail PS4 and see if I can feel it. There could be something specific with the older consoles that is increasing the feel of laggy inputs, like low framerate.

I'll give more details as I get them, unfortunately some of the bigger fixes missed our patch cycle (patching on consoles and keeping parity with all the platforms means we have a minimum 1 month between patches for any code fixes. It sucks, but it's our reality).
