[2020] Bug List for Magyst/Epic

Last updated: 2:42PM EDT April 28

Figured since no one else started one, and since I'm so active here, I'd do it. Magyst is looking for bugs the team can look into. This is a work in progress list, so feel free to post about your bugs (preferably with video/picture proof where necessary) and I will add it to the list. Issues already listed on the Trello will not be included.

I'm listing issues in order of my personal perceived importance (based off of how frequent and how impactful the bug is), with cosmetic issues as lowest on the totem pole. I realize some of you may not agree, and that's ok. Also, just because I list one bug higher than another, it doesn't mean Epic will be able to squash it before something lower on the list.

Major Issues

• Endurance Crashes - People are wasting hours of their time to have their game crash at wave 25+. Crash montage credit u/amberlynn2687 https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9ecxy/enduracrash_a_short_film/

• Deathbomb Modifier damages objective - Even with a fully intact defense, the objective can be damaged by deathbombs. https://streamable.com/9kfct4

• Damage Pulse Miniboss damages objective - Similar to the Deathbomb modifier above, Damage Pulse minibosses can damage the objective, even with intact defenses. (Credit u/Thrawntheambitious)

• Lobber Projectiles can damage objective through builds - Again, similar to the two above, lobbers can damage the objective even with defenses intact. (Credit u/Binary_Trifecta)

• Crossplay - Admittedly, not necessarily a bug. But for the health of this game going forward, we need complete crossplay in all mission types. It's getting harder and harder to find people to play with, even with server hopping.

Moderate Issues

• Weapons stealing ammo - Weapons with AND without magazine size perks are sucking up a full magazine worth of ammo the first time they are pulled out in a mission. This is causing people who grind missions to lose ammo fast. https://streamable.com/s9zgws

• Failed to lock profile - Not sure exactly what causes this, and while a restart usually fixes it, it is annoying nonetheless.

• Bows not shooting properly - Arrow will fall at your feet instead of going to their intended target. (I admittedly don't use bows, so if there's more info about this, let me know. Looking for video evidence)

• Husks spawning in terrain - Husks can spawn in terrain and damage structures placed against that terrain, a big issue in SSDs/Endurance. (Credit u/johanril) When doing encampments, somewhat frequently a husk will spawn inside terrain, making it a pain unless you have a weapon like the Neon sniper or want to reset your progress on the encampment.

• Guardian's Will sometimes causes a Ninja's double jump to stop working - Current workaround is to jump off the map and respawn. (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence)

• Anti-Air Trap Perks - The 5th perk on the anti-air trap does not work when it's set to "Increased Building Health". I had "Heals 4.8% of max health every 10 seconds" as my 4th perk. The health of the floor piece did not change when the increased building health perk was on or off. (Credit u/icecoldcoke319)

• Some husks ignore the objective and/or player to attack environmental objects that they could easily go around - (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence)

• Mimic spawns - Mimics seemingly aren't spawning like they used to, they're much harder to find. Makes the "What's in the box" main story quest a pain for players to complete. (Credit u/card_collect)

• Some missions occasionally wont start - Retrieve the Data, Eliminate and Collect, and Resupply sometimes wont have the countdown timer and mission objectives appear, even with everyone connected and loaded in. Can be fixed by someone leaving, but doesn't always work. (Credit u/BlackGunsMagee)

• Deliver the Bomb mission - Sometimes Deliver the Bomb missions spawn the launcher or armory in places impossible to reach with tracks, unless you glitch the track onto ramps. Sometimes the launcher doesn't spawn the full connector track, making it impossible to link the armory with the launcher. Sometimes the bomb simply won't move. (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) Video of bomb not moving https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kksr/deliver_the_bomb_bomb_failing_to_move/

• Blockbuster Quests "You Are Overpowered" - Some players are facing issues doing the quests in The Crater zone, the game is telling them they are overpowered. This can be circumvented by removing survivors, but the normal person wouldn't know this. (Credit u/Card_Collect)

• Players below PL122 still able to get Mythic weapons - Debated on where/whether I should put this, but I figured it belongs here. Players invest a lot of time to reach end game content and secure mythic weapons. Only to have little billy in Plankerton, who traded for a bunch of 130s he doesn't actually need, also get the same mythic weapons.

Minor Issues

• High impact weapons and abilities (seismic smash) are causing counterintuitive reactions on impact. - Rather than husks being pushed in the opposite direction of the damage, sometimes they are pulled towards it. (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence)

• Anti-Air trap sometimes not targeting propane tanks - This one may be due to the height of the tank when it's in range of the trap not being high enough? (Credit u/JakeStarfish) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g98cxy/antiairtraps_occasionally_do_not_target_thrown/

• Sploder Husks render in farther than their propane tanks do - You can damage the husk, but have to wait for them to get closer to be able to light the tank on fire. (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence) https://streamable.com/j6wa1b

• Terrain issue in Canny Valley Stormshield - Extra bit of ground at the top of the ramp at the amplifier north of home base. (Credit u/GrandesMarees) https://streamable.com/fl1p21

• Players getting kicked for AFK in private and friend's only matches (Credit u/BlackGunsMagee)

• Occasionally the Freedom's Herald won't reload - Need to swap weapons before being able to successfully reload the Freedom's Herald (Credit u/Card_Collect)

• Occasionally survivors won't spawn when visiting a blue - Used to be 1 per non rescue the survivors mission, though it seems to be more rare now. However, last week I built a survivor relay in a rescue the survivors mission and a survivor did not spawn.

• Occasionally survivors can spawn inside terrain (Credit u/ArcAngel014)

• Inviting someone currently in BR to a StW mission in progress, they are unable to load in unless they leave the party and rejoin. - The player is stuck on the world map, unable to even see that there is a mission in progress. (Credit u/BlackGunsMagee)

• Kicked for AFK from friend's SSD causes softlock on PS4 - (Credit u/BlackGunsMagee)

• Storm Shield Assist sending players to zones way above their level - I like that I don't have to check each zone to see if someone needs help, but there should be something in place to prevent Stonewood players from getting sent to Twine assists. Perhaps adding a PL check, or making it so players can only be sent backwards from the zone they're searching in?

• **When using a controller, on the mode selection screen, if you go over to StW it will automatically move you back over BR after a second or two. (Credit u/BlackGunsMagee)

Cosmetic/Visual Issues

• Ability charge count not accurate - I'm not sure if this is related to the bug that's listed on the Trello about being swapped to your pickaxe when using an ability on cooldown or not, but picking up charge fragments does not increase the counter, phase shift counter is not always accurate, etc. https://streamable.com/00fizx They temporarily update to the correct numbers after use of the ability, until you earn another charge. https://streamable.com/j4gn6q (Credit u/Baumpaladin)

• Emotes continue to play sound for other players after its use is over

• Point it out Emote Leaves a pickaxe in the air while using your pickaxe to emote, which shows two pickaxes on the screen at once. (Credit u/nate_oc)

• Some objects stay floating, even when the supporting structures are destroyed. (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence) https://streamable.com/remwmb

• Hoverboard sometimes doesn't render - (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kq82/invisible_hoverboard/

• HUD still doesn't show everyone in the mission - Happens just about every mission (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kovv/only_1_person_showing_up_at_top_left_but_were_4/

• Constructor Decoy visually falls apart when used - Afaik it still works as intended, it just looks like it's broken. (Credit u/Airikr_) https://v.redd.it/9e5jpzu4n2o41/DASH_1080?source=fallback

• When B.A.S.E. is moved, its visuals sometimes still appear where the B.A.S.E. was previously placed. (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kpjc/after_placing_my_base_somewhere_else_the/

• Husk / Mist Monster audio often plays shortly after the enemy is dead - Never fails to make me do a double take thinking a smasher is about to charge the objective. (Credit u/CaptainIrreverence)

• Storm visuals still appear even when inside the safe zone - (Credit u/starvinmarvin) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kmlq/storm_effects_appear_even_after_going_into_the/

• Blockbuster tab fails to open properly in the quests tab - I believe this is a controller only issue (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9kkaw/blockbuster_tab_failing_to_open_properly/

• Pickaxes revert to their default style when switched to during a Ninja's Shadow Stance - https://streamable.com/beaplg

• When you have 10k+ of a crafting material, it causes craft-able schematics to be listed 1 per line in the backpack, instead of 2. (Credit u/starvinmarvin392) https://www.reddit.com/r/FORTnITE/comments/g9ko33/when_scrolling_down_on_my_traps_it_keeps_going_to/

• Bunny Brawler Luna's hair is missing (Credit u/morecilantro)

• Lobby shows players using the same skin as you, even when they aren't.

• Lobby frequently shows incorrect power levels. (Credit u/nate_oc)

• Some completed Collection Book pages don't show the completed check-mark.

• Locker can be manipulated to temporarily show a hero as a different rarity/set. Does not work on outfits. (Credit u/saveslotone) https://reddit.com/link/g97eig/video/hzydw11zuev41/player
