Wasteland Post Bugs Here

[DosBuster]

So, since we have our own sub-forum now, it might be a good idea to report various bugs and other oddities you find here so sea or Brother None can look at them.

Don't just say "My camera broke here.", give a detailed description, including screenshots if you can.

Also, make sure you check out the known issues first, which can be found here: http://wastelandrpg.tumblr.com/

Check out the official bug reporting guide:

To make it easier for us to help you, please include the following details:

1. Tell us what you were doing in the game when your issue occurred (specific quests, characters, locations, etc.).
2. Crash dumps and game logs. Please check for Player.log and/or output_log.txt, and send it to us. Default folders containing logs are:
   • Windows: <install path>\Wasteland 2\Build\WL2_Data
   • Mac: Macintosh HD -> Users -> USERNAME -> Library -> Logs -> Unity

When I was at the poor tribe's camp in the Rail Nomads area, I was in a fight with some of the Rail Bandits. One of the sniper's rifle jammed and the game froze on his turn. I could pan the camera and everything, but the turn wouldn't end.

Almost exactly like a common JA2 glitch.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Was in that awful cockroach dungeon in Highpool and I got a stretched mesh/texture bug, sort of like this:

Although maybe these sort of bugs are unavoidable idk, anyway it was apparently one of my ranger's tops, so I removed it and it stopped taking up the whole screen, but still can see it whip by every now and then, seems to be following me. I left the water pump station and it's outside as well, pr. annoying.

 

[DosBuster]

Ah, I'll add that to the first post, thanks sea!

 

[Onholyservicebound]

That makes sense, I was experiencing bad lag before it happened. I'll reload and see if it's still an issue. Although that shit was definitely not related to hardware when it happened in Fallout 3/NV.

Standing on the 2nd level of a building. Got "spotted" by enemies in the fog of war outside, one level down (outside, in the grass). Because the game puts you on the grid when combat kicks in, this 'sucked' half my part out into the FOW. I had no way to actually fight the battle. Their presence in the previously unexplored area did not explore it. It remained black. They got attacked and could not attack back.

Explosives don't do damage to enemies clipping inside objects. For example, I would pop a 'pod' and draw the attention of enemies. They'd stand inside the pod, investigating. I'd throw a grenade. It would explode on them - zero damage.

At the Ag Center basement where you can harvest plants: I 'harvested' a plant, but because I didn't have a person close enough to get it (the person I wanted to get it), I closed the inventory screen. I then moved said person closer. I then went to 'open' the plant casing again. Except it never actually opened again. Instead, it just gave me 7XP for 'opening' the plant container. The flavor text would mention I picked up a plant, but that wasn't happening. Theoretically, I could have abused this for infinite XP. I ended up just reloading. When I did put the plant in my inventory it took plants from three different people and combined them without my say so. I don't know if that was intentional, but I'd much rather have had a few plants I could have used instead of the Level 5 Field Medic item I ended up getting (and won't be using for a long while).

When leaving a basement area at the Ag Center...

Spoiler

Skinner is sobbing behind a door. The flavor text reads that you are hearing sobs. When you take Skinner with you out of the basement, the flavor text repeats the exact same line. So you 'hear sobbing from behind a door' while you're escorting the guy who was crying out of the place. Kinda silly.

Party organization gets goofy every so often. I'm not sure how to explain it but for example, you might be changing weapons for someone, click on someone else, change their weapon, only for it to change the original person's weapon. I have no idea why this happens. You can even see the second person's weapons up and their icon highlighted and everything.

Game blackscreened on changing settings. Game crashed on trying to load character create. These two might be linked, but I dunno. I haven't had any crashes beyond these two and they happened literally before I ever even started the game.

In the clinic at Rodia...

Spoiler

The "little girl" is a male model.

I also get a Southwestern Folklore flavor text about Damonta... in Santa Fe Springs.

In Culver City Brothel:

Spoiler

I was able to shoot any of the God's militia people without them engaging me back in combat. So I was able to clear out an entire room without starting combat.

 

[DarkUnderlord]

When I'm in the party creation screen, and I put points into a skill I don't want, it doesn't let me reset the value to 0. Eventually, after some combination of left / right-click, it will sometimes go back to 0, sometimes not.

Should I be concerned that I've only just started the game and already found a bug?

Also, my Rangers can only see three feet in front of them.

 

[DosBuster]

DU, click on the icon of the skill, or just outside the bar to the left that seems to work.

 

[Cyberarmy]

If one of your party members is near to the "maps boundries" before combat, at start they can step outside that bounderies resulting them to stuck there whole combat. Happened 2 times only in Titan Valley

 

[Elwro]

If you make a character with the largest size and take a snapshot, there's a whitish stripe on the top of the picture. (Male character, Linux game version.)

  The southernmost scaffolding in battle mode does not allow movement beyond middle sections. Camera becomes confused when switching to different party member.

• Radio station in the beginning. If your party loops around to the second area with raiders and approach them from the back, they do not get aggressive

• Dialogue input box does not work sometimes.

• I don't know whether it is intentional but
  Spoiler

  Rail Nomads negotiation/standoff dialogue does not highlight crucial term that would determine the outcome of the quest. It is merely italicized.

• Chisel (sp?) does not join you even if you agree to 'arrest' him if your party is full. A screen pops up where you can dismiss one of your recruits but the screen immediately reverts to game screen with him running away, never to be seen again.

In Angel Oracle:

Spoiler

With the banned books quest, if you tell the Sheriff about her plan, he simply responds "I don't understand.".

 

[GarfunkeL]

In character creation, the smoking/ethnicity/religion sub-menus do not close when you click on a title - you have to click on the text-box itself. Which is unusual.

 

[randir14]

1. The "secure Santa Fe Springs" quest is still active in my quest log and says the captain is about to check out, even though I boarded up the walls and he died hours ago.

2. I used the workaround when returning Fletcher to Angel Oracle. However the party member I left behind (Dan Q) is missing his Click 19 pistol that he had with him. He only has his ammo.

 

[JarlFrank]

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error, each time I try to start the game with a full self-created party.

Playing on Windows XP, btw.

 

[Blaine]

While in character creation, random automatic snapshots of the default male and female characters simply appear in my custom portraits folder with no input from me. They've added up over time, and this is what my folder looks like now, keeping in mind I've already deleted a handful of them to date:

Regarding selection of outfits (torso, pants, packs), there are some issues, especially with packs for females. There are duplicate torsos, pants, and packs, as in I click > or <, and get a model identical to the previous one. This isn't "click lag" or misclicking in which I think I clicked but hadn't, as I experimented with it quite a bit. It's always the same outfit part being duplicated each time and I know the click registered.

Furthermore, I believe these dupes are overwriting the actual models that should be there instead of what's duped. For females, there is one pack that gets duped, and their selection of packs is noticeably smaller than for males and also from what I remember them having in beta. This pack gets duplicated twice, meaning there are three of it.

I'll post some examples in a moment.

Selection A: No pack.

Spoiler

Selection B: Bundle pack.

Spoiler

Selection C: Sidepouch pack.

Spoiler

Selection D: Pickaxe pack.

Spoiler

Selection E: Dagger Pack.

Spoiler

Selection F: Duplicate dagger pack.

Spoiler

Selection F: Duplicate Dagger pack 2.

When loading a new map I'll soemtimes get a blue screen of death that restart my computer. No logical reason for this. R00fles!

 

[Jaesun]

This has actually been a very stable game for me.

D:OS still crashes randomly all the time for me (thus I never finished it).

 

[Volourn]

DOS never crashed for me. Maybe once, i can't remember. And, it surely didn't reboot my computer with BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH.

Still, WL2 is a billion times better.

 

[imweasel]

Kills and Damage Done in the dossier of companions resets of you dismiss them.

 

[Elwro]

1) Whenever I load the game, the view scrolls down to the bottom left.

2) Whenever I enter the wasteland (i.e. not any particular location), the view gets centered on Ranger Citadel even if I'm somewhere else.

(Linux, Kickstarter version.)

 

[FeelTheRads]

I know mirroring textures is cool and all, but lol:

Spoiler

Also the background in the main menu disappeared after changing the quality from whatever it was to "beautiful".

 

[randir14]

Not exactly a bug, but certain parts of the game need their performance fixed. For instance the underground tunnels in Hollywood and Angel Oracle have spots that randomly drop me from 60 to 40 fps. Same thing happens on the world map around radiation clouds, even though the map in the last beta version ran perfectly.

 

[Jick Magger]

Ran into a weird bug yesterday while at the Titan Outpost (the canyon you run through from the Central Outpost to the Temple of Titan). After beating an encounter against the Diamondback Militia Scouts on the cliff next to the central outpost, and a small band of raiders near a canyon overlooking a graveyard with a vat of radioactive sludge in the middle, the game would suddenly slow down to a crawl (around 20fps) and the Monk escort I had became a non-interactive NPC (i.e. talking to him would just make him say the generic "I am just a neophyte, I have nothing to say" response, and he would no longer follow me) with the ambush icon over his head. It was fixable by just making a save there and loading it.
