RvS 1.2 Patch Bugs

Please, post problems with the patch here. I will edit this post to reflect problems/bugs mentioned in this thread.

Thanks...

List of "known" bugs:
------------------------
#1 - Certain people getiing the "Wrong CDROM in drive" errors after patching.

#2 - 0 Ping Error which is causing players to lag out.

#3 - Sound errors where players will lose all sound mid game.

#4 - C-MAG override bug still in.

#5 - Dramatic drop in FPS with ATI cards.

#6 - Random freeze at round end due to time running out.

#7 - Still get the random drop, but its about 30 minutes per and everyone that suffers from the problem drops within about 2-5 seconds of eachother.

#8 - Netrate was reset in patch.

#9 - Not being able to shoot at start of round bug.

#10 - Using a G36K when zooming I was seeing a picture of what looked to be an image of a rainbow 6 member's face inside the scope. Restarting the round did not fix. Had to change weapons. Totally weird.

addition: This bug has existed since the demo. Would be nice if they actually addressed those bugs.

#11 - Is it just me or do doors seem quieter when you open them now?

#12 - Still random drop from server but didn't seem as often.

addition: Does this happen about every 30 minutes instead of 10 like in 1.1?

#13 - Unable to switch to another weapon when zoomed in with the Vintorez without unzooming first.

3 Problems I have heard of thus far:

#3 - Sound errors where players will lose all sound mid game.

FYI, please be sure to list if you upgraded from 1.0 to 1.2 or 1.1 to 1.2. I went 1.0 to 1.2 so far no issues.

did anyone else get a HUGE FPS drop...not sure if its just me, i'm using a g4 4200, so i don't fall in the ATI category above, but DAMN!!! it got choppy as hell. again, could just be me, but christ its choppy.

I have problems at the beginning of rounds being unable to shoot. I have to restart the round in order for it to work. Not sure if it's the patch or a specific server. I wasn't able to test it in another one as of yet.

well me and my clan have had talks about this patch we cant play on CL or anything else becuase of this they say we need 1.2 and twl says 1.1 how can we play with both AHHH lol come on make up yal mind

So far

1) Random freeze at round end due to time running out.
2) Still get the random drop, but its about 30 minutes per and everyone that suffers from the problem drops within about 2-5 seconds of eachother.
3) Netrate was reset in patch.

yes i keep getting the wrong cd drive error i guess haven't looked at it too closely because everytime i try to reload the game it just reboots my machine... i have to reinstall constantly just to play... please advise as soon as possoble until then i think we should all go back to 1.1... bugs dont seem to be as severe..

I am not sure where all the problems are coming from, I actually had a FPS increase, 1.1 I avged 50-60 FPS and now 80-100 FPS, ATI 9700 pro.

THe game is more smooth than before and no chop at start of the first map on each round like in 1.1.

The only problems I've seen so far are:

1) Not being able to shoot at start of round bug.
2) Using a G36K when zooming I was seeing a picture of what looked to be an image of a rainbow 6 member's face inside the scope. Restarting the round did not fix. Had to change weapons. Totally weird.
3) Is it just me or do doors seem quieter when you open them now?
4) Still random drop from server but didn't seem as often.

My FPS seems to be fine...but then I have a 9700 Pro and have never had issues with framrate in this game. I went from ver 1.1 to 1.2.

Yeah, it's kinda scary (^.^)!! Can happen with any gun when zooming in. Sometimes the face texture gets applied to the gun model, or somethings to the thermal scope module on the sniper rifle!! Maybe RvS is haunted by dead Rainbows from RS, lmao!!!

Will I be able to play 1.2 on a server running 1.1 with a mixture of players using either?

Probably not. But you can do a dual install.

I made a copy of my current 1.1 directory. Copied the RvS shortcut and change the path & startup directory to the 1.1 copy. Then I installed the 1.2 patch overtop my original RvS directory. I can start either version now. Only tried for about 10 minutes in each, but seems to be working.

I have the ti4600 and have noticed none of these issues or a FPS drop. Are we allowed to agree in match comms to use 1.2? =D

The only bug that i have been plagued with is the 0 ping one. And my FPS did suck ass till i did a fresh install..Once i re installed the game my FPS went back to normal..It was wierd..But the 0 ping bug got me about 10 times yesterday and it was really starting to piss me off. Id log out and log in, bam 0 ping again..Only way i could counter this was to do a complete reboot of my system..Hope they do something about this soon. Sucks to be in middle of game and kicking ass, then being 0 pinged out next round..But like wit all patches in any game i have played, you fix one thing a break another..


Save a tree, Eat a BEAVER...!

Only serious bugs i've had to deal with is sometimes i play for a few hours and RS starts slowing down to a crawl. Its like theres a memory leak or something, and i have to actaully reboot my comptuer to get everything back up and running to speed. Beyond the 30% hit in fps that i took with my 9500 PRO (i had to drop my res to get decent fps! thats just wrong...)

What i really want to know is why RS is so pathetic with releasing a decent patch. I mean, it feels like they release a patch and it fixes 2 bugs, makes 10 more. Angry!!

SitKill

did they ever fix the nade bug? you know, the one that when you throw a grenade, it doesn't actually throw and you get stuck with a nade in your had and you can't switch to a different item/weapon? I haven't installed 1.2 yet, but I know that was a big problem in 1.1

Nope. 1.2 still has the frag lock and ladder lock bug.

Alright. A few comments regarding the bugs listed in this thread.

#1 The Wrong CDROM bug is apparently the result of running a virtual drive or virtual drive software. (Alcohol 120%, etc) Remove the virtual drive and try the game. If it doesn't work, try uninstalling the software and running the game. (Not an ideal solution, but as a last resort, it should work)

#7 If you experience this problem (or any of the random drop numbered problems... there's 3 or 4 listed) and are behind a router, try setting yourself up as a DMZ host when you play the game. I know for a fact that it has issues with Linksys routers, other brands I'm not positive about. It seems to be something to do with the game being unable to access a certain port, though it's not one of those that the game lists itself as using.

ok i tried to jump into my server to play and got stuck on the Please Wait screen. I remoted into the server and in the RvS Sever console all it said was something about "Karma something not found". Had to stop and restart RavenShield Gameserver.

Also i've noticed with v1.1 and v1.2 that sometimes the Team Penalty screen doesnt display when it is enabled on server.

we havent experienced any bugs out of the usual

old bug, i don't think mentioned... it takes me 3+ times to put down a jammer... anyone else? not exactly fun when enemy is around the corner, but so far i've never been shot doing it... lucky lol..

It is also possible for all guns, not just the G36K. It may just be more common for that gun.

haven't seen this topic raised yet (Some people might be scared to admit it) but when i jump off of a box or down on CSL sometimes i get "ret locked" my ret gose all tight and i can shoot in same spot while running full speed, BUT my game gose all judery and chopy it's really werid, happend to me on the demo too. this need's to be fixed because if someone calls a cheat test and that happens there be like "yeah yeah yeah" dosen't happen very often but it dose happen.. some guy all ready tryed to gay me with it cous i said "Wtf i have ret lock" "i jumped down and i got ret locked, wtf my games chopy ect ect" he was like "ss" but he only ss'ed the "wtf i have ret lock bit" so u can see it can cause problems all ready

JamJar, to fix that problem just lower and raise yourstance.

needless to say this doesn't make the bug any more bearable for matchplay since it can be abused.

what u said about it being abused... i fucking hate it i cant even kill anyone with it ^^ lol...
And thanks for the tip, i didnt know about that ..

Was playing a scrimm with XBC last night and i was getting some werid ass stuff look...

Ok I thought this was kinda weird because I don't see anyone else having this problem...

I went 1.0-1.2, and the only major problem that i have is:

when i throw nades, sometimes the red circle with the dot in it stays on the screen and wont let me takes out any other gun or anything i have in my inventory, its horrible, im alwasy afraid to throw nades now because i might not be able to get out my gun... anyone have this problem?

Em I think we are going to just have to wait till a new patch comes out. Lets hope the devs know bout it, if they dont contact them...

Trust me, they know about them. If you don't think they know, check out the forums on http://www.raven-shield.com sometime...

The question is, are they going to do anything about it? My guess is no.
