Hi all! Same as last time! We're requiring you to follow the format below (you can copy paste it). Please, please, please follow this format, and check to see if what you are reporting has already been said:

 

**Explanation**:

**Evidence**:

**If  replicable, how**:

**Platform**:

 

By doing this, we can use the upvote system to measure severity/frequency and also provide the developers with more info than simply, "Hey, this thing is not working, can you fix? Thanks." While allowing less severe/frequent bugs some more visibility instead of flooding the thread with the same bug. If you wish to report a bug and see that it's already reported, then just reply to that comment. If you have a workaround for that bug, then comment it on that post.

We've also included some important links that we find may help you out. We'll continue to update them as necessary.

Explanation:

Defenders still not working correctly with obliterator or neon snipe rifle.

Evidence:

You stating this was a bug about 7weeks ago. Currently defenders don't even return our weapons and when we give them our perked up leveled up obliterator or Neon sniper they won't even use it unless in melee range. Be nice if we wasn't punished for playing solo with defenders. Please fix.

If replicable, how: Drop a defender with a neon or obliterator in a box n they won't do anything at all. Regardless of enemy distance.

Platform: All

Sorry for the delay on this. We've been discussing the design around this and are making some changes / fixes in v9.30.

Platform: PC

Thanks for letting us know. We rolled out a fix for this in v9.20. I'll let the team know reports are still coming in that this isn't working.

Explanation: The end day sound bug still exists after 20 patches.

How: Just wait till the day ends.

Evidence: u/magyst has log files and a video. (I uploaded with the username batuhanapatay. During season 8 I guess. Nothing has changed since then. No need to upload a video again).

We have 100% not been able to get this to happen on our end after our first round of fixes went out. Have you tried verifying your game files or done a clean install / uninstall? Since we've rolled out a fix for this already, I would need updated client logs from you to see why this is still happening.

Explanation: Canny's storm shield homebase randomly spawns somewhere else in the map when starting a custom wargames match with Invasion simulation.

Evidence: This video - https://1drv.ms/v/s!AkhYPB3fsUcBh3EdNcEJL78oUwom

If replicable, how: Haven't been able to pinpoint what triggers it, but it seems it has something to do with setting up a custom wargames match with the Invasion simulator. It triggers it sometimes, others it doesn't.

Platform: Xbox

Very interesting.. thanks for letting me know! I'll shoot this over to the team.

I think that defenders with Obliterators should not be shooting when closed in solid boxes, because they should not be able to "magically" aim at Husks. While when using Neon Snipers they should be able to do it, because of "x-ray" scope.

This is exactly the approach we're going to be taking with this. While they can still pierce, they won't be able to pierce as far because the Obliterator doesn't grant vision like the Neon Sniper does.

Had a chat with the designers on this. Just to clarify, the Rescue the Survivors missions are not intended to reward players with the "People" resource. So it's intended that you don't get them from that mission type.

If you are doing other missions and not receiving them.. make sure that you aren't at people cap!

Thank you everyone. I'm going to re-raise this with the design team. Definitely not the intention to do anything without properly telling the community. We're going to dive back in and take a look at this.

Thanks everyone! I've edited my comment as we're going to take another look at this.

If you guys have to "take another look" in order to figure out how the most basic function of the game you are developing worked for past 15+ months...

Don't know why I even bother hoping and checking this sub anymore :(

Apologies on the miscommunication there. By "take another look at this" I mean look into why they aren't properly granting them. The mission wasn't intended to give them at first. However, it's not something we're going to change since it's been this way for so long.

So we're going to be correcting this in v9.30 as we've found the root cause of it :) Thank you guys for being so passionate and calling us on our mistakes.

Going to quote my comment here in case it gets missed for you guys.

Explanation: New Tar Pit trap returns mineral powder when destroyed in storm shield instead of mechanical parts required to craft.

If replicable, how: Just try it.

Platform: Doesn't matter, I guess

Thanks for the heads up!

Explanation: Grenade arc is very, very short now, at least in STW. Looking forward distance seems to be a tile or less.

Evidence:

If replicable, how: Try to throw a grenade STW.

Platform: PC

Thanks! I'll have the team take a pass to make sure it's working correctly.

Chiming in to add another person who is experiencing this on PC.

I haven't seen a response yet, but it would be nice to hear from u/Magyst on this one. This has been happening for some time and it seems to be happening to a decent amount of people. 25 tickets per Wargame over x number of Wargames that we have all been missing out on for some of us would be adding up to quite a large number of tickets, especially with the Birthday llamas coming up and people likely increasing their farming activities in light of that.

Thanks for the tag on this. I'll shoot this over for deeper investigations.

**Explanation**: For the third week in a row I am posting this, 'Play wargames with challenge' award (25 ticket) still not being rewarded consistently. Kind of frustrating as I have run probably 50+ war games without getting the extra 25 tickets, which does add up after a while. No mention in the patch notes, and no fix.

**Evidence**: I have played around 10 war games today and not got it in any of them. I previously posted last week that the only times I have received that reward was when I searched for help, or when I was in a party with someone else who searched for help. Any time I run them without searching for help I don't get it.

**If replicable, how**: Play wargames without searching for help and you will not get this reward too.

**Platform**: XBox.

Thanks Frag, I've seen this mentioned and reported it over to the team to dig in.

Explanation: When I do wargames assist, I don't get any tickets, and it doesn't count towards my war games challenges.

Evidence: I'll upload a link of my wargames progress in a bit.

If replicable, how: Use the wargames assist search feature, then complete the game to see the rewards.

Platform: PC.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll shoot this over to our QA and see if we can get this to happen on our end.
