[2019] v8.50: Bug and Unannounced Changes Megathread

Yes, I don't know how this isn't at the top of the list.

If you spam E (or whatever your pickup key is) around loot, it doesn't pick up most items, you have to pause movement, press E and nothing else and it will then usually work.

Took me about 10 seconds to pick a purple shotgun near an enemy and this is unacceptable.

I would like to add onto this as well

Explanation: Item Pickup and general movement is sluggish, delayed, and non-responsive

Evidence: When going to pickup items that are on the ground, pressing the interact button to pick them up results in either a delay or failure to have the input register at all. Multiple presses trying to pick something up end with them being delayed and played out as much as 1 to 2 seconds after pressing them.

• ADDITIONAL: Movement appears to suffer from these same input / output delays and at times, there is simply no response to pressing a movement key. This applies to all movement actions: Omnidirectional movement (WASD keys), Jumping, and sprinting. Actions that can cancel out a sprint will also be delayed.

• ADDITIONAL 2: In short, it feels as if the entire game is running on a large delay. Nearly all player input and subsequent output actions are delayed or not registered. As the match progresses, this effect seems to compound on itself; making movement even less predictable or responsive, and feeling as if you need to predict where you will be in 1-2 seconds so you can input what you want to do in advance.

Platform: PC

• i7 7700k @ 4.2GHz
• GTX 1080Ti @ stock clock
• M.2 SSD
• 16GB DDR4 RAM @ 3200Mhz
• New Peripherals (Corsair RGB Platinum Keyboard & Logitech G502 Mouse)
• Playing at Ultra settings in 2560x1440 resolution

Thank you guys so much for everything you do for this community, and I hope this writeup turns out to be helpful in tracking and solving this strange (and albeit, disorienting) bug.

Explanation: auto reload is bugged.

Evidence: if you empty a gun switch to another gun and then switch back you will not reload the gun automatically.

If replicable, how: Empty magazine, switch to pickaxe and then switch back to empty weapon, It will not reload until you try and fire it or press your reload hotkey.

Platform: PC

10/10 replication

edit: so far the pump and dual pistols are the only guns that I can find that do have this bug..

Explanation: Switch has regular hitches or micro stutters that show up as 15FPS in the game counter minimum

Evidence: Seems to be when entering new areas or when turning quickly

If replicable, how: As above

Platform: Switch

Note: This started happening with 8.40, as 8.30 was so so good, and I had 0 issues with performance.

PS4 players cant see other player's kill counts in their squad when in-match. Has been happening since the patch before this one.

Yet I just played with someone on Xbox who says he's still able to see other player's kill counts. I thought you guys just removed the option but it seems its still there same for one system but not the other? It kinda sucks to have it removed for one party tbh I wish ps4 could have it back.

This happens to me on Tilted Towers and half of Retail Row. My friend said it also happened to him on Polar Peak, but I can’t confirm since I died to storm before getting there.

Explanation: Chests, Ammo Crates, Campfires, Loot Llamas and other Interactions “Interact” when the button isnt even pressed.

Evidence: It seems to happen since Version 8.50’s Release. I dont have much evidence at hand. But i know this is a glitch as i tested both my controllers to see if it’s not me.

If replicable, how: Head on over to any game mode. (From Original Battle Royale to Creative/Playground Mode) And interact with any source. It works like normal at first... but then when you go near another interactable thing. The key is “Clicked” and it opens the chest automatically. I tested it out with Both My Joycons and Pro Controller and my buttons worked just fine when i performed a test in other games/test input buttons. This didnt happen to me before the 8.50 Update.

Platform: Nintendo Switch (Could be possible to other consoles...)

Controller: Pro Controller... (Then i used the Joycons to see if anything is different. It’s the same behavior)
