Lists of and issues people are experiencing in project playtime phase 3 (Add yours issues in the comments)

[Fun Specialist]

This discussion is mean't to highlight problems and issues that appeared/amplified in phase 3, comment if you had issues with one of these / add a new issue to make it recognizable, im planning to send this to the official poppy playtime discord and make a forum about it and signifying its importance to fix the issues and deliver the promise they made to us

#1 Long Phase 3 review: The summary would be basically everything they removed from phase 1 and 2 was unnecessary (with the exception of the phase 2 toybox because phase 2 ended) and made the game unplayable
In my opinion they should've kept the pre-game lobby and add settings (like among us) to change how the game should play where you could make it feel like phase 1+2 where you could wait for the train doors to be open while the monsters wait for a longer countdown to release and at the end they can go to the train without calling it ,or make it play like phase 3 where both monster and survivors spawn immediately and the match start and at the end they can call the train, also why do you have to wait doing nothing to load into a match when you could've waited in the pre-game lobby which they removed along with chatting which is basically this phase blocked any means of playing with your friends+communication which speaking of communication the new quick chat/communication is not useful at best ,i personally think this would benefit more if after choosing the quick chat coms it shows a marker to survivors on what is happening for the coms you/your teammates choose it also would be better if there was a shortcut keys where you can press a certain letter/symbol/number on your keyboard and it will immediately show a specific coms but that can wait until the issues are fixed,They should have not removed the countdown for monsters release because 1. you dont know which map your getting launched into when entering a match because of the new randomize map+voting system which means in certain maps if you chose huggy wuggy that map might have to many vents for that character to go too which would annoying for the monster to deal with, also you would want to choose the sabotage you want on specific maps but the no countdown option just get rid of all of that and just throws you into the action immediately,anyways the randomize map choice is good if you were to use that in a private match because you can play with friends etc, but since its in a public lobby it means everyone needs to fight for what map would be chosen, and in my opinion we already had a pretty good map rotation after every match back in phase 1+2 but now everyone has to chose their favorite map and hope it will win the votes if not then you might aswell expect alot of ragequits or people to perform poorly whether its the player does not recognize the map layout well or the device couldn't handle the likes of Destroy a toy+misfit pit

#2 Mob Games Specifically promised to bring Private Matches to the game as soon as possible but unfortunately they went completely dark on us without any statement about it, they should have never said it because up to now no progress have been made on this promise since October 25th which is 3 months

#3 The game's new UI is nice but they haven't optimized it which is also why every now and then the game forgets that i own certain perks/sabotages and wants me to re-buy the perk/sabotages it also tends to lag a bit before it loads the UI menu that you choose to go

#4 More than half of the sound packs are completely rendered unable to use in-game and one of them is completely useless because of the pre-game lobby removal
though in certain instances they work for a couple of mins but still this needs to be addressed

#5 reports of people losing phase 1 cosmetics for no reason (have not happened to me yet)

#6 Destroy a toy for some people/devices (including me) does not work/crashes when loading to it despite having a powerful PC/laptop to handle it (like mine)

#7 Reduction In the amount of emotes able to use in-game (how did they even thought it would be a good idea when the quick chat prompt is a different button from the emote one?)

#8 The Rejected M-L-L skin does not get granted when purchasing The rejected bundle, you have to buy the skin separately before it appears in your lists of M-L-L skins also you can't obtain the bundle/Rejected Mommy with tickets


#9 The ticket prices from the store about the grab-pack and hands are in the wrong prices


#10 The XP in matches never gives you the same amount as how much you did in-game+ sometimes your time is completely wasted because the game gives you 0 xp somehow despite playing and doing puzzles/eliminating survivors


#11 When the host leaves the game the game immediately kicks you into the lobby without saving the tickets/xp first which means all the progress you had made is lost/does not matter

#12 Huggy Wuggy's Charge attack for some reason does not hit/you pass through the survivor without it triggering the kill its probably an issue relating to the hit-box, they should take a look at it


#13 Boxy boo's Launch jump has an exploit which is that you could launch jump while carrying knocked survivors by grabbing them at the same time they charge up to jump


#14 The Living Nightmare Sabotage does not work in misfit pit


#15 Third person gets you stuck after moving for a bit & you can't mouse wheel scroll jump for no reason

#16 The player bug out after getting revived for no reason and their body is invisible/ clipping on the ground the only thing that is visible is the grabpack hand/cable when they fire at something/do a puzzle


Honorable mention: The Safety goggles (mask cosmetic) from the scientist outfit in phase 2 never got put into the phase 2 toybox with the outfit despite being shown in the phase 2 launch trailer at 0:43 seconds

I gonna give this around a 4 days or so before i send it there so i can see the replies if i need to add more
Edit: Im extending this until like the very last day before chapter 3's release because after that im sure they are gonna get back to working to project playtime

and if you still struggle with that problem use this method to solve your problem. works on me too

Press Win + R, Type in "%appdata%", press "OK" Go to the top of the file explorer and click "AppData", go to "Local", find "Playtime_Multiplayer" and Open it, go to "Saved, go to "Config, go to "WindowsNoEditor", find "Input.ini" and delete it.

Choose a command to alert your allies of something like help needed,an enemy approaching,etc... it also pinpoints where that is

[SuperSharks]

the new chat system needs a better way to do it rather than how they gave us right now

yeah the old one is better. the advantage is this new chat system no need to type so you can give message quick. but the old one can chat and communicated more and more free to type

also you can't type while in the feeding pit

Actually, it was possible to type while in the Feeding Pit during the first two phases. Perhaps that's just Phase 3 Sub-Phase 1 shenanigans.
