* NEW * Bug in the game - salute pods

[Rebel Drifter on YT]

So when saluting the yellow beams - salute pods for medals etc - I get stuck instantly for a couple of seconds / minutes... Who else?

Edit:
Also when opening containers and picking up the credits or medals inside. They instantly get me frozen or stuck... The bugs in the game attacking me don't see me for the time being - but when I get unstuck I get F*kked by them because of the corridor or hole I am in...

Quickplay doesn't work either and I can't seem to join others on the map.

same has been happening to me when looting treasure in the blastable containers, and button bunkers.

So, here's what I've gathered from experience.

The 'instantly updates your progress' currency drops get you stuck in place sometimes. Why? Because there's a call and response between you and the servers that is taking an agonizingly long time right now.

When you pick up Super Credits, Requisition slips or War Medals in a mission, those deposit instantly, requiring a central server exchange. Samples don't do this call until you extract with them, with the 'pause' covered up by the score screen review going on.

I've not seen that 'pause' happen with opening the pods or bunkers, but on taking the materials within and only on those.

The upside is, even if you fail the mission or disconnect, what you found you keep. The downside being the server traffic that generates and the issue we're experiencing.

Yes I was experiencing this as well for the short time I was able to play. I also wasn't getting any updated exp or currencies when I finished a mission. My progress was essentially halted completely. Didn't play to much so I wasn't exactly to upset, but I do hope all those super credits I found end up in my loot once all this gets fixed.

This game is a mess right now. Something is up with the servers that's for sure because I could only find 1 person playing a specific mission on 1 planet and could not join. After I solo'd for a bit that person was still on the same mission - and after that again... So it's hanging here and there... I wish I was a paid-tester for them... Geez.

Makes sense as I kinda thought it as well but not as detailed. But I think you are on the money!

From my experience last night, it's not that you aren't making progress, it's that you won't see it until you log off and log back on. Friend and I noticed we weren't getting credit for the war medals we found, only the mission completion ones. Then did a relog, and suddenly had 80 of them piled up from 7 or so.

Because it was registering server side, just not client side.

Lots of people who want in, servers can't handle it, so you get a lot of forum activity. That and popularity brings political trolls with it. They'll leave eventually (most of them) but I've been racking up blocks because of it.

This seems to be fixed now. Thanks.
