Sniper Elite 4 Bugs/Glitches

[DarkKnight]

I've played them all. With 3 I was really excited and then quickly became disappointed. I don't understand (playing on PC btw) why these discussions aren't full of PC players complaining about the flakeyness of this game.

I love the idea. It's designed well, from level design to general concept. And when it works, it's fun. But the glitches are infuriating and they NEVER get fixed. The exact same glitches that made me exasperated with 3 are still present in 4. Do you even test this on PC?

The two most annoying glitches are the distance compensation reticle thing jumping around, flicking back and forth. It's frequuently grey when there's no reason for it to be. And in 4, now it's got ANOTHER colour it can be instead of when it should be red; orange. There are SO many times when that reticle is grey or orange instead of red like it should be... And this is a sniper game. Sometimes you've waited thrity seconds (or more) for the shot, timing it perfectly only for it to be blocked by some invisible object or something. It's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥t and unacceptable. If it was just in this game, I'd be forgiving because it's only just been released. But it was present in 3! And it never got fixed in THAT game! I can't remember if it was a problem in 2.

Another infuriating glitch that I've noticed as of level 3, is that the soundmasking symbol, top centre - meant to let you know when you can shoot and mask the sound of your shot - it's just randomly not showing now. I'll be standing right next to a sabotaged generator, HEARING it go off super loud, but no noise symbol. And it's not just a graphical glitch. If you shoot anyway, they hear you. It's the same for the big rail gun that goes off periodically. Then, if I load a savegame, it works again, for a few minutes anyway.


Get your ♥♥♥♥ together Sniper Elite devs! I'm pretty understanding. I didn't even get upset at Rocksteady when Arkham Knight had all those launch issues on PC, because I was confident they'd fix it. I waited and they did and it was great. But ♥♥♥♥ you a little bit because somehow you've manufactured the exact same glitchiness as your previous game in your brand new one. And given you never fixed the last one, I'm doubtful you'll fix this one which pisses me off because I spent money on this. And not a small amount of money either. It's expensive for a game that is likely to never work properly.

Well designed, poorly executed. As usual.

TL;DR - SE3 was glitchy as ♥♥♥♥, never got fixed and now the exact same glitches are present in SE4. Disappointed/angry.

I havent found any game breaking bugs, the only problrm with this game are the whiney liitle kids who come on here moaning about how expensive games are or how S**t the developers are because there are some minor bugs in game, but some of these bugs are down to their potato pc's.

The Generator one is really annoying, i need to safe when i hear the sound, reload and have it once but that needs to get fixed soon.

[aldago]

you can use the silenced rifle as a "workaround", but it has a short range

[Desert Fox]

The sound mask bug is very real and extremely annoying. Several "sound making" devices either stop providing the sound mask or periodically work. I've had to save/quickload after every shot in some cases, just to have a mask for the next shot.

Not seeing mention of this issue by any official is beginning to worry me. I love the game(s) but this is unacceptable for the 4th title in the series and such a major release.

[SXP]

I have a separate thread, but a major bug for me is the game crashing when an explosion happens. Was working fine right up to the 1.1.3 patch.

[SXP]

Just tried the 1.1.4 beta patch, no dice, still crashes.

Here's a very minor nitpick for you all: The canned "bullet time" cutscene for an x-ray shot when using the De Lisle Carbine shows a big ol' muzzle flash. There is no muzzle flash from a De Lisle.

Yeah I was working on the first level achievements 50 smg kills 5 officers with trip wires etc and I'm after Schmidt at the mansion and I was 4/5 with officers as soon as I killed a random soldier walking around, the mission requirement failed wasting 5+ hours doing the stupid missions.

[Poppi !!]

I've noticed the sound masking issue as well, but I thought it might be an isolated thing...clearly not. Annoying alright.

[Poppi !!]

I'm noticing it more at the Docks currently ( 2nd run ) at the rooftop in the checkpoint area by the mechanics shop. I first noticed it at the railway yard in the previous mission. Same places as the first playthrough so far.

[Poppi !!]

Yeah, Captain, I was referring to the spotlight location overlooking the large prtion of the yard next to the radio room. I belive that your proximity ( posistion ) is the simple jist of the matter.

Distance is important of course, but it also seems that your location is key - if you go around a bldg. corner or inside - behind some trees, etc., etc.. I'm going to test a few spots more.

One place where the generator sound glitched for me is Regilino Viaduct (the train gun bridge map), the generator across the small creek up on the cliff wall. It's been so very long (over a year) since I have played SP that I can't remember any more specifically.

That was the one I was originally referring to ( poorly described as in being in the railyway yard ). They weren't shy about traveling all the way across the valley to say hello either.

Since my last reply, I've had no further issue with any others at the docks ~ provided I stay close to them. We'll see on the next mission.

Interesting Capt'n, now that you mention it it occurred to me that the generators never malfunctioned for me near the beginning of each mission. Some players have blamed saved games, but it may have actually been a time of play issue. Thank you.

I did the same thing again and got the pretty much the exact same results ... (snip)

You should turn in a bug report Capt'n. Even if they don't fix SE4 it may get them to fix it in SE5 - if they reuse the same generator noise cover code!
