I've had 4 game ending crashes plaing against bots, not sure why. Overall the update seems to be working well, although now I'm starting to miss the trial players LOL, Three matches in a row, I was on a team against Stephiroth, who is the king of beast and all my team members dropped! So I dropped. I take no shame in not wanting to fight the evil roth and three other stacked players in CTF all by my lonesome! Still, the 4v4 I played with Chef and some of the guys was sick. This game is awesome. Just please, Stephiroth, go easy on me! Damn!

Did anyone else notice a change in the launch pads? i only played 3 games right after i got the patch, but a few times it did not feel right.

Yes! Thought it was just me, on crash i was having a nightmare with the launch pads putting me off the edge.

the frames in the 4 vs 4 matches are terrible and the maps are too small for 8 players....

Weapon wheel stuck open after host migration

I'm getting the almost dead muffled sound even after regenerating health

So far I've only noticed *one* instance of teleporting/lag. pre patch it would be like 50x a game.

I have noticed some framerate drops. If i'm using strength and there's electro balls around and I'm looking at an entire map and 5-7 other players it will drop to what I'm guessing is 15 FPS for a few seconds. Not god awful terrible. It's all in all much better than pre patch.

If this game were this good feeling when the game was released there would be many more people on these forums right now.

Maybe its my internet then I don't know I have so many problems with my isp but there is no really decent alternative for me where I live right now although I'm going to be making calls soon to see anything has changed.

Hopefully all this issues will go away after a day or 2 cuz right now as the patch is its def mess up. Last night couple of ppl myself included were trying to get some customs going and we coulnt even do that cuz it kept kicking ppl out of the game or disconnecting them from the nexuiz servers. Needles to say we couldnt get a custom going and had to go into MM to play a few games and some of the players just got piss and went on to do something else. if it continues like this i doubt ppl will keep playing the game. Hopefully this is just xbl acting up and not the patch messing with the game even more. Love the game but too many issues will make it impossible to play and tell ppl to buy this.

[Suikoden]

I know Dynamic Store weren't suppost to be fixed in the patch but it should be fixed later on.

It says that 1st Tier 3 pip is 49600 for me and it then only deducts 14000 and i still needed 49600 to purchase the pip. 3rd pip costs 114080 and i bet it will only deduct something lower then that.

[Omega IIDBZII]

6v1? Last mapped just pop on team locator. Didn't notice it on the score board cause it only showed 4v1 (poor guy). But team locator showed me 5 of my teammates running around and myself made it 6v1. Give him the credit, he stuck it threw (good man).


P.S. It was started 6v2 and one person dropped at the launch of the map.

this game exemplifies what's wrong with MM

for the love of god just get rid of MM......SERVER BROWSERS FTW

Yes please. This is really needed. The game has a huge skill gap and players are constantly quitting when they get outmatched.

[SimeonOfDeath]

I have a bit of a rant, but this is impotrant info for devs if they need extra info to solve a problem.

For me, both pre patch and post, almost ALL of my points earned per match are NOT updating after the matches and I'm getting REALLY tired of playing for 2 hours at a time just to net 2K to put toward pips, it's out of hand in a big way. For most of my friends, they say that they get point update issues SOMETIMES, but for me for some reaon it's almost every single match.

It's always public quick matches, I rarely play private matches. I DO wait in the post game lobby until the process finishes and the lobby is back to "waiting for players", so I'm definitely NOT quitting out before the points should be given. And I'm talking about matches where there is NO host migration and no apparant reason for points not to show up, these are completed matches and I'm staying in the game lobby to the end of the post count, so it should be ok.

In the first week after launch it was sometimes, but in the last couple of weeks it's almost every point I earn, down the toilet.

Let me give a break-down example of hoe much this issue is effecting me. I've searched many forums and don't see a lot of people getting it THIS bad, so I really have no idea what the heck is up, I'm just NOT getting my darned points and I'm really ready to quit, delete the game and ask for a refund because when I'm not being host migrated out of my points I get the hard crashes that send me to rebooting the entire xbox because it froze me or I'm COMPLETING MATCHES AND GETTING NO POINTS!!! THIS EFFECTS MY LAST 2 CHEEVOS FOR THE GAME BECAUSE I NEED POINTS FOR MY 3 TIER CHEEVO AND I NEED POINTS TO PUT INTO STOP THE CLOCK AND INCREASED SCORE OR I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO GET MY 25 MUTATOR IN 1 MATCH CHEEVO! AAARRRRGGG!!!!!!!!

Sorry about that, I'm just REALLY frustrated in a huge way here.

Anyway, the example:

This week I've been tallying points I SHOULD have gotten because this problem has been so prevalant in my case. At the end of the matches where it shows how many you've earned I've been writing down the match points and post match points I've earned. All told, I got just under 120,000 plus I also shot down 2 whales this week (50K each totalling 100K) and was able to earn 88K standing near a pot of gold during Rainbow mutator. That totals roughly 308K points earned this week (incidentally, 1 whale was pre patch, the other was last night post patch, and the pot of gold was also post patch, last night). Out of 308K, how did I do? Like this:

beginning of week I had 255K saved up. End of week after tallying 308K I ACTUALLY ended up with 277K. That means that out of 308K I only got 22K!!!!!! And this is after waiting 12 or more hours from my last session last night to make sure that any point updates that may be on a schedule would happen.

Yeah, I lost 286,000 EARNED POINTS just in the last week alone, and I've been playing this since lauch.

I've been playing with Chef Linguini and with Sefiroth and some others lately, they can all confirm that I got the 2 whales this week and the pot of gold rainbow, they were in these matches. As a matter of fact, the poor dudes have had to listen to me moan about my lack of points all week. Thanks to them for putting up with that as I have been very frustrated with this and quite vocal during matches hoping that I would get my earned points (which I didn't damn it).

What to do, what to do. I'm NOT going to keep playing for 10 or more hours a week if I'm only netting 22K out of 308K, that is some real BS right there.

[Chef Linguini]

^Yeah, I was there. You're still a whale killer in my eyes, even if it's not official .

But for real this is quite aggravating. Stats aren't being saved. This means ranks aren't being adjusted. Which means the few players who are left playing this game are being put in unfair matches because their rank doesn't accurately portray their skillset. (This is assuming the ranking system actually works). Unfair matches=rage quitters. Constant quitting will end up with a dead game.


Yesterday I got a few good matches. It was great. I felt like the patch actually worked!

But something happened. Something bad happened.

Now the game is usually 3v3. If it's a 4v4 you probably waited >5minutes for it.

Once you're in a game the framerate is constantly dropping. I imagine if I had an FPS counter it would be around 15-25 usually. The host is going to eat your shots and pogo around like he just chugged a few redbulls. You usually die before you realize Host=need2run.

After a few minutes someone will quit. Then someone else quits and the game slows to a snails pace or just the whole team quits.

As far as I know we can't do customs anymore. Does anyone know differently?

The game feels better. It feels faster. Weapons usually hit more. Off host feels like less of a handicap. But the FPS is inconsistent, weapons aren't always picked up and neither is strength (and reportedly armor as well).

This second patch needs to come out before the end of April and it needs to fix every single issue people might be having.

Something needs to be done about lag/latency/netcode/host advantage/etc.

I don't care if we're given dedicated servers, a custom server browser, or a spectator mode and an ability to make the spectator host.

Just finish and polish this game please. It feels like we're a beta for the PC

The game at its core is great. Better than most games out there. But there's no polish to the game.


Thanks for reading my rant. I wish the best for this game (and devs)

[Michael]

After the patch I was able to play 1 match, and it was ended because of quitters. The rest of the time I'm waiting in the lobby. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to separate demo players from full version players. Looks like this game has reached the end of its lifecycle on XBOX.

Can I exchange my XBOX version to a PC version please?

And I got 1 XBOX freeze btw.

[SilentKO]

The idea of separating trial players from the others was a good move but the ranking system is not working properly and the game seens to be kicking some players out of the game after the patch hit. I know cuz if has happen to me and other ppl when they are playing a match they get kick out of the game for no reason. And yes players do quit when they get pair up with better players but thats gonna happen in every game seens ppl dont care much about quiting if they are not being penalized for it. the patch did fix some things but it seens it also brought new problems.

[AngelFred24]

So, my experience now. First, 4v4 are awesome when everybody stays. But, the FPS drop a lot when there is an epic firefight between the 8 players to a point you just can't play anymore. It usually lasts about 5 seconds.

Also, for the xBoxs that froze, I don't think it's the game, I think it's the xBox live who had a couple of problems lately. Lots of lag in every game, my 2 friends got a lot of system froze while playing other game. So don't blame it on Nexuiz, the live has been quite fragile the 2 or 3 last days (at least for me and my friends).

Oh and the patch seems good but it came back to the start in matchmaking since there is not a lot of players, it takes a long time to get in games.

For an upcoming patch, I would suggest penalize players that leaves after the first 30 seconds of the game. Like you can't play online for 15 min after it and you get a lose + it costs you points. The more you do it the more you lose points for leaving in the game.

Voilà, overall the patch is pretty good and it's nice to play against good players and 4v4.

[orbun]

the frames in the 4 vs 4 matches are terrible and the maps are too small for 8 players....

dude......dont say that...3on3 was booooring maps were way too big then.usually took 20 seconds to find some one to kill just 1 for 20 seconds !!

love 4 on 4

stats are saved not just after the match.
stats are saved after the match,after map voting before you return to the lobby.
if u quit when its map voting after the match stats dont save

[orbun]

please let waiting plears join empty spots in matchesss.i had mentioned why in the suggestions.

anyway....since the patch this is what happens to me alot.
finds match...4on4 in lobby...count down ends,loading starts...main menu pops up after loading plus score board on top of it instead of the map
i press A on "play on xbox live" then..... crash

[Chef Linguini]

More issues I've been having: *Note this isn't a comprehensive list nor is it well put together. I may have listed some of these troubles before but oh well


--Host migration is buggy. 15 seconds prior to H.M. you know it's gonna happen. The host that's quitting rubberbands (runs forward teleports back, repeats) Sometimes after kills aren't saved but deaths are. This isn't cool. But usually stats aren't saved at all.

--Framerate is awful now. it's atrocious. I did get a few good games but now it's just bad. I swear I'm getting 15 sometimes 5 FPS. I believe Vsync is to blame. Which btw, hasn't fixed screen tearing for me and at least one other person (that I've asked). I never experienced screen tearing before the patch. I didn't even know what it was. Now I do.

--As far as I know customs don't work.

--I'm constantly kicked back to the main menu. "Nexuiz service in unavailable..."

--Players still teleport. Netcode prediction still needs work

--Hit detection is still inconsistent. Host seems to have a 50% damage resistance mutator on. One is still at a disadvantage while off-host. No, it's not at bad, but still close to game breaking.

--The ranking system still gives me WTF moments. I win. I loose. I pwn. Nothing seems to have a reasonable, quantifiable effect on my rank. I'm starting to believe it's based off of pogo jumps or something completely arbitrary. Maybe the population is too small. Maybe I need to give the ranking system time to put me in the right games. But the only time I have a legit match/real competition, is when I play against people on my friends list. Or when the other team happens to have a god host.

--Melee lunge needs to go. It's awful. When all my deaths can be attributed to evil summon and melees something is wrong with the game. It's an easy button. It's ridiculous. It wouldn't be so bad if it were consistent. Something you could expect and learn to adapt to. But it's not consistent. Sometimes you have to be right on the person to get the lunge, sometimes you can be 15-20ft away. The netcode can't handle melees. Latency just makes melees appear to be broken. Sure, it might add something to the game but that's arguable. It's not arguable that melees are not consistent as of right now. They're akin to rolling dice. With that said I strongly suggest they be pushed down to 25 damage until they can be fixed or removed.









There are more bugs, glitches, and issues that I and many others have but those are all I can think of right now. Thanks for listening Illfonic. I'm not trying to bash your game, I'm just expressing my opinion

[WE4PoNiZ3D]

For me, biggest problem is still network code (I think) just heard people calling it that, I'm talkin bout players that seem to be bullet sponges, on my screen if I'm not seeing them get shot to shit with no effect I'm seeing them skip around the map, teleporting through walls or magic lunging resulting in my death from invisible shots, players not even facing me getting head shots on me lol a'll this making average players with certain types of connection appear to be MUCH better than they actually are, also I'm still getting the no stats counting after games, xbox crashing/freezing in middle of games and or kicked out of matches, a'll in all not havin a very good time of it.
Love this game but it's just a shame there's so many problems with it I'm just hoping it'll be better on ps3.
Also I agree with hulk, there's something obviously wrong with MM and this game would be much more enjoyable if we could just search for games, ranked/unranked
