GAME BREAKING BUG + FIRST IMPRESSIONS

[Wanuboi]

BUG : I'm ok with few crashes but if i loose all i had on me each time we have one then it's game breaking bugs which is less forgiveable to be honest. Specially on these extraction shooters. The crash occurs constantly in fact, it happens on the second map, i spawn in, do few meters and then crash. My PC is running well (i have a strong one build on RTX 3090 generation with similar recent components attached to it). So yeah, for the moment 1st map is working well but the second one with heads on picks and a lot of dead bodies, impossible to make it work.

First Impressions : Besides that, i'm happy to see the fundations of the game are here, it's legit. Game seems too easy in my opinion, like to die, you really have to be bad. When you understand that you have to avoid ennemies it gets really easy to do. I didn't die once. There is a lot of things to improves obviously, it's pretty raw for the moment. But the most important improvements to make are these :

PRIORITY IMPROVEMENTS :
- Camera swap shoulder
- Pathfinding corrections and fluidity to ennemy patrol (it breaks a lot the immersion to see them do those weird movements constantly)
- A lot of work on the sound design needs to be done. We are talking about a massive war but all canons and gunshots sounds flat.
- And finally turn up the difficulty scale. It is suppose to be a mess and hell to be a scav wondering between bullets and shells of these 2 massive factions heavily equiped. For the moment it doesn't match that promise.

GOOD THINGS :
- Obviously the art direction, people being this are genius. Hard to renovate the post apo genre and make it looks fresh.
- UI is really well done too, understanable, clear and looks great.
- Progression feels already good.

LESS URGENT IMPROVEMENTS :
- Localization
- Shooting, pretty raw and bare bone for the moment. I'm talking about recoil, animation and feel to the impacts.
- Looting, to be more precise i'm speaking about when we try to loot a container and after, the range of interaction, etc. When we are in the container UI it's ok.
- Performances, including crashes
- Moving animations. Running is raw, the transition between walking and running is not great, transition between stances, sensitivity while we are running.
- Not able to put my secondary weapon slot empty for the moment
- And finally AI, tones of improvements to do here and will be in the future a major improvement to make cause the gameplay is made around them. For the moment at least it works ok for a beginning, that's why i don't put it in priorities.

There you go for my first feedbacks

Same issue for me - Game running smoothly and then the helicopters fly over and it freezes - Approximately ~15 meters from the spawn point on the Elephant Mausoleum map.
Tried three other maps - No freezes, crashes or severe fps spikes.
Tried turning settings down as low as possible, and it still happens every time I load in and walk away from the spawn point at Elephant Mausoleum.

+1 crashing a few steps away from the spawn on Elephant Mausoleum

I'd respectfully suggest using the network disconnect reversion to start of mission inventory on crashes in Early Access as currently # of players closing the game mid-mission due to crashes >> # of players rage-quitting and closing the game.

It's one of those things that should be errored on the side of caution as I can't even try to retrieve my loot via in game systems as I can't even complete the map due to crashing.

Just ran into an issue where I; Couldn't sprint, couldn't aim, couldn't shoot, couldn't swap weapons and then died... To crawlers. This was after I died previously so I lost all of that potentially saved items. Other than that one raid, I fell into a ditch and couldn't hop out. Then tried to hack a door and the screen was stuck after leaving. After 30+ raids it's not too bad but just absolutely game breaking bugs. That hopefully can get corrected soon. So far I'm loving the game. Even though it feels like a somewhat simple game loop if that makes sense? Edit - Deleting a weapon preset, regardless of which weapon will immediately CTD.

0 Crashes, but bug with no sprint or shooting sucks a lot.

they already hotfixed that entrance to maus once, but it didn't solve it. the others are ok.

if you walk over to a lootable item,container, box and just attempt a loot then click loot all, it will fix the glitch. sucks, somtimes in a middle of a gunfight i have to walk/ not run, walk over to a lootable item and gain back the ability to shoot again.

hope it helps while we wait for a fix.
