I don't know why people keep saying these things. The game runs great for me and has very few bugs from what I can tell. I also think it is one of the better looking games out right now.

It is bugged, and i don't think people are lying, but the only bug i have experienced is a soft crash occasionally( once every 4-5 hours), normally when refreshing servers, I have NEVER experienced any sort of crash where i have restart my computer, so its a shame people are having different experiences with different hardware

Yeah there's some nasty bugs. I've played 2 hours so far and I had the sound die once and the server browser killed my internet connection three times so far.

haha I thought it was my router that died. In the middle of a game and all of a sudden lose internet connection 100%.

lame, guess I will be shelving this game for a while.

It works well using Steam's server browser, no problem with that so far. Using the in-game server browser it what kills my connection.
 
My three biggest bugs are as follows.

1. First shot doesn't fire. Here's a thread about it:

http://forums.tripwireinteractive.com/showthread.php?t=61326

This has gotten me killed way too many times.

2. Game hitches up when an enemy appears on screen. Occasionally right as an enemy appears my game starts hitching and I can't aim.

3. Hit ditection up close is completely broken. This happens way too often, I'll have a guy right in front of me, empty a whole clip, and not one bullet hits. Doesn't matter if I'm sighted up or hipfiring, I might as well be shooting blanks. I once had a guy run up while I was crouching and sighted in. The guy was so close to me he didn't even see me and just stood in front of me literally filling up my entire screen. Fired seven shots and missed seven shots. Then he butted me with his rifle.

Combine these three bugs together and you can imagine my frustration.

This is in addition to all manner of weird frame drops and lag as well as the server browser sapping my connection. After the initial load if I refresh I return maybe five servers then if I refresh again I return zero and I realize my internet connection has knocked been out.

I love this game but it's trying so hard to make me hate it.
 
Also, how does the vote menu work? I've tried left clicking on my selection and hitting submit, double clicking my selection, right clicking and hitting submit, double clicking with right click, highlighting and hitting enter to no avail.

And why does spacebar enter my "say" in the vote menu?
 
finally had an audio drop out tonight...first time in over 9 hrs of gameplay


WEIRD
 
The game is a fucking mess right now. Not even gonna bother touching it for a couple months.

That's what happens when you start beta testing 2 weeks before launch. Epic fail.

Yeah I will never understand why they fucked around for so long, who knows what the hell they did in that one week they delayed the game.. doesn't seem like much.
 
They actually beta tested for a couple of months prior to launch and even delayed the game, but apparently that wasn't enough. Guess Tripwire just need to hire more dudes.
 
Yeah, this would seriously be my favorite multiplayer FPS period if it wasn't such a buggy piece of garbage :(.

List of bugs I'm encountering:

1. Terrible framerate. Some maps, like Commisars House, are nearly unplayable. A 6970 should tear this game apart.

2. Hitching. Especially when an enemy appears on the screen, about the worst possible moment you'd want the game to freeze up.

3. Borked hit detection up close. Can empty an entire clip into an enemy filling up my entire screen and miss with every bullet.

4. First shot not firing, click and nothing happens. Click again and the shot fires, but by that point I'm usually either dead or the enemy has moved.

5. Crashing. Only happened a couple times, but with the way the game plays I almost wish it would happen more often. Seems like the game mercy killing itself for me.

6. Refreshing Server Browser knocks out Internet Connection.

7. Audio cuts out and won't come back until I restart the game.

I think they were rushed because of BF3.

I mean, PR wise, with BF3 and MW3 coming up fairly soon, they had a short window to get it out before then or faced losing a lot of potential customers because of those two games.

I've had a few of these. At different points in the beta. One thing that you know, unlike many of the majors that tripwire will actually spend time and effort towards fixing these issues.

The close up ffiring...are you using a rifle or something quicker like a pistol? The game has some kind of panic mode where if someone is right by you and you are firing like crazy you are unlikely to hit, especially if they are firing at you too (the screen will be grey like when shots are landing close to you). Either use a "close up" weapon, like a pistol/submachine kind of thing, or middle click. Ths game really needs a shotgun :D

I hope the server menu is fixed now...that was the biggest bug for me seeing pages and pages of empty servers. I've never had any graphical issues with any of the maps. Maybe while playing kill AA until they fix it, to keep the minimums higher. Other than a few crashes the only weird performance I have is when I start the game it stutters for a few seconds...but then is fine. :confused:

Don't lose hope comrades, TWI is VERY hard at work and it shows, they have also already released 4 updates post launch, ok game is still a bit buggy but do any of you remember how SHITTY was black ops at launch ?

And don't forget everybody payed around 45-60$ back then, cut them some slack ppl ! they're a small studio but they really care about their game, BC2 on the other hand will get its last update on wednesday and then will be left to die slowly because even EA itself admited that it was just an apetizer for BF3 and frosbite's testbed for PC, nothing more nothing less.

Can't wait to get back into fight on sunday, i've close a deal for a used gtx570 gainward golden sample for only 240 euros, can't wait to implement some proper CSAA and get rid of those stupid jaggies who are killing my eyes when trying to shoot ruskies at long range, HOORAH !!! :D
 
Anyone getting "this game is currently unavailable" messages when they try to launch it? I've been getting that the whole day, something that hasn't happened on other patch days.

I got the same thing the other patch day. I restarted Steam, then I went into the game properties and disabled auto-updates and clicked OK to accept the changes. Then I went back in and reenabled updates. The game started downloading the newest patch immediately after.
 
I'm not sure if there was an update, or if it's the fact that I'm now using a quad core cpu, but it feels like a completely different game. In fact it feels like playing BFBC2 and going from dual core to quad core; it's just SO much smoother.

I was watching my GPU (6970 x2) usage and CPU (PII 555 now unlocked) and it seemed to be CPU limited before.
 
As much as I have bitched about certain bugs, I am going to cut these guys as much slack as they need. It is very clear that the people at Tripwire will do everything they can to fix the issues and make this a truly magnificent game.
 
Just killed some guy and had my stats go bananas. I now have thousands of kills along with nearly a 3.0 KDR and I unlocked like 15 new achievements. All from one kill.

God this game is a mess.

Yeah, I hope they decide to do a stats reset or something.

Maybe, as you are playing a game in the present, which is set in the past, shooting this man caused his 1000s of children he fathered during his 1950s-90s womanizing not to be born?

Same here a few days ago... Haven't really played since then because I feel like I've cheated.
 
I really like this game, the weapons, maps, sounds and everything else involved when it works. Which, sadly, is intermittently. The thing that worries me is many people, including myself, taking a break from the game waiting for it to get fixed, having bf3/mw3/etc come out, and forgetting about it.

RO2 will continue to have a strong community of hardcore RO2 gamers. A lot of them still play the old versions.

So what your saying, essentially, is I'm basically a Terminator? A highly successful Terminator at that!

I like that idea. I like it very much.
 
I am going to buy this game in a few months when it is fixed. I am not playing bfbc2 anymore b/c they managed to kill it for me with the last "patch". Difference is that these guys will improve RO2 while EA patches break more than they fix.
