Known issues

[AI Fafke]

Hello everyone.


The forum is a bit messy nowadays and i think it might be good if we can make a list of the known issues the game has. (categorized)

This overview should help the developers and the players (if solutions or workarounds have been found)

I will try to keep this list up to date as much as possible. If you guys could help me it would be great :) You can post anything.. If you know what could impact performance or which settings is heavily demanding (GPU and CPU based) just post it!

Overal Performance

• Game crashes
  
  • Crashes for some users when going to options in game
    
    • One of the errors : "UnknownModule!UnknownFunction (0x0000000000000000) + 0 bytes [UnknownFile:0]"
• Game not loading
  
  • Missing GlobalShaderCache-PCD3D_SM4. bin
    
  • The game appears in task manager but nothing appears on the screen not even a window. After a short period of time the process just closes.
• Slow loading times causing freezes in most cases
  
• Slow loading times causing black screens
  
• Huge ram consumption on some systems (Memory leak?)
  
• The game is only using 50% GPU and CPU power on some systems
  
• Hard drive failures happening
  
• Single player overall performance slower than usual
  
• When opening a local saved game, huge fps drops are happening
  
• Jumping on a foundation will make your character lag. It teleports u back down before u should.
  
• Loss/crackling of sound
  
• Sound/music volume maxing out despite settings. -->Fix it by simply opening the options and pressing save

Graphical Performance --> Boost your overal fps workaround

• Low perfomance with high end cards. --> Boost your overal fps workaround
  
• Resulotion scaling has some issues. It has a huge impact in performance
  
• The game is causing graphic cards driver failures
  
• Changing settings between low-medium-high-epic doesn't affect the fps that much.
  
• Changing the resolution while the game is running messes up the game dimensions (usually causing extra wide warping).
  
• Reloading a singleplayer game will sometimes cause equipped items to not render properly (fixed by unequipping and reequipping the items. This includes dinosaur saddles and player armor).
  
• Sometimes when trying to change from fullscreen to windowed/fullscreen the screen stays black for 5-10 seconds and automatically reverts the change.
  
• Shadow flickering
  
• No HUD with Oculus Rift
  
• 2012 x64 and x86 files won't download properly.

Ingame bugs

• Characters getting deleted
  
• Player deletes after switching servers.
  
• Trees spazzing around (like there's a heavy storm)
  
• Green water and black sky --> Click for fix!
  
• Le wild jump appears when going out of the water
  
• Bigger dinos are going through your base instead of demolishing it or going around (bronto)
  
• Some terrain on southern beach needs fixing..it looks walkable but it is like a wall cannot even jump over it
  
• Extremely hot areas of map cause you to dehydrate in the matter of seconds..should be longer
  
• Trees cut down by a tamed trike sometimes become invisible and cause it to get stuck
  
• Holes in the map screenshot
  
• The is no cursor on the map. You can't see where you are located
  
• Riding a T-rex bugs out the camera. (zooming out would fix this problem)
  
• T-rex don't swim. They stand up in water.
  
• "Take all function" in the bag of dead players. Nothing is taken when you press the button. From what I've seen this is due to the founder items (saddle, hat, and also the specimen implant) as these are the only items that cannot be taken.
  
• A bug with the storage chests, you can't stack items up in them any more, you need to take them out to stack them.
  
• The chests also seem to have a limited amount of items they can hold (note I do mean actual item stacks - not weight) when i don't think they did before, however I may be mistaken. There's no object boxes in them for stating any limit for stacks held so this could either be a graphical bug, or an implementation bug. Etiher way I'd say it's an ambiguous bug, unless there's information that can clarify on which bug it is.
  
• Characters in singleplayer start with 1000 weight, instead of 100 in multiplayer. Is this intentional?
  
• Pin locks don't seem to be working bugging out sometimes. The door is locked, but gives no option to use a pin on the door. Just makes a rattling sound.
  
• Some dinosaur's take a leap of faith sometimes when they're being attacked and yet survive without any issues, then some can run up straight steep hill's and mountain walls while survivor himself or herself can't.
  
• Weather and temperature. There are very common area's where the weather might be raining and just by taking few steps back it's sunny all of a sudden (rare)
  Temperature changes rapidly from 30+c to around 6+c or less. By just walking a certain "line" over you can switch between different temperatures in the same area which is odd.
  
• Sometimes the raptor's are warping around when they're attacking, making it highly difficult to hit them or punch them to stun them. + It's scary when there's a pack of them and all of them are warping around.
  
• When you try to apply the skin on a Normal Parasaur Saddle it does not work.
  
• Negative engrams --> Screenshot
  
• Some of the craftables unlocked disappears, leaving with no way to craft them, and you are unable to learn them again. --> This however was fixed after I died and respawned
  
• Stone pipes are uncraftable : Once learned they do not appear in the craft menu. And when you check in level system it shows me that it's already learned. But i cant craft it.
  
• The lowest texture quality renders the map (default key M) compeltely unreadable. The coordinates are just vague smudges
  
• There's "empty water" where there is the surface texture of water, but underneath is just open air. This has been the cause of a few falling deaths.
  
• If you get "cold" in water and don't reach shore in time you are dead. First you get cold, then you freeze, then you become exhausted, and there's no way for you to Refill you Oxygen Levels and drown...even if you reach the highest point there's no way to reach air.
  
• Not getting the Saddle and hat when you respawn or make a new character, you are however getting the TSL shades. Its happening like this with other people too i believe.
  
• when destroying stone pipe, it sometimes destroys ALL the pipe the single segment is connected to, rather than just the segment you've targeted.
  
• we have the bug of being given founders items every time we log in/picking them up when we die so we have multiple.
  
• Dinosaurs wake up at random times when taming. Had a Trike wake up at 25% torpor, and a Dilo wake up at like 280/320, or something! It's a real pain to spend time and resources taming a dino for it to wake up, steal your items, and reset your progress, and then kill you if it's a carnivore.

Ingame glitches

• Random players adding themselves to tribes.You are not able to kick them.
  
• You are able to distribute lvl up stats (not enram points) to a sleeping(offline) person.

Ingame exploits

• Dinosaurs get stuck in trees or on rocks (exploited by attacking them and they can't move or attack back).
  
• Continously moving and harvesting plants in a small area will not cause them to break like they should (exploited into infinite plant supplies).
  
• You Can look through walls either from the outside or inside to see on the other side. Gives the advantage for players to see exactly who is inside - or outside.

Other

• The menu buttons reaction field. The place your mouse needs to be in order to active the button)is way of the actual menu buttons, aiming on a button activates the button above.
  
• Official servers not showing up Workaround - click here!
  
• Keybindings resetting after each login for some users

jumping on a foundation will make ur carracter lag like jump, it jumps up but it telports u back down before u should. So yea "It lags when jumping on a foundation"

The menu buttons reaction field(The place ur mouse needs to be in order to active the button) is waaay of the actual menu buttons, aiming on a button activates the button above,

Head Banging trees.

le wild jump appears when going out of the water

bigger dinos are going through your base instead of demolishing it or going around (bronto)

extremely hot areas of map cause you to dehydrate in the matter of seconds..should be longer

The one I run into the most on the forums is a general issue with performance. Players thinking single player or local should yield better preformance for the game. But the game is being run completely on one PC. When connecting to a multiplayer server, the server runs the world while the player merely connects to it.

All sliders should be at medium or lower. Sky, ground clutter and resolution scale. Lower antialiaing and shadows as well.

I have a gtx 550 on an i5. I get 30 fps on multiplayer servers and the game is still pretty. Not everything is on low.

tamed trike randomly went into the water and died, I didn't see a shark but i'm not sure

trees cut down by a tamed trike sometimes become invisible and cause it to get stuck

+1 Please use this list. :)

Also players believing that if they have 4 gigs of ram in their pc they can run the game because it says it on the requirements. But they mean that you need 4 gigs of free ram. So players with 8 gigs or higher should be the minimum.

You should tell players how to get the game to perform better as well. This will yield less complaints and traffic will lower on the forums,

Odd I don't see the link in the OP. Oh there it is... blended in. Make it blue if you can or another color.
