Bug reporting thread (PSP)

[Teuvo]

I decited to create this Bug reporting thread so it's easier for developers to see what needs fixing. So if you think you find a bug please tell all about it and post info to this thread.

Here's some i've encountered:

- Crosshair isn't working right

- Ranking does not work for all players

- Infrastructure games randomly crash by stucking to "waiting for other players..." and finally shutting down session or even shutting down your console.

- 1 vs 1 game session ends when one player leaves the game. But in 2 vs 2 game game stays going even if both enemys leave the game. (stayed allies get crazy points if there's 3 or 5 rounds)

- Some "land drop!" objects spawn without skin they are colored plain grey

- Uploaded flags sometimes contains strange white stripes near border of the flag

- can't use any words with "ho" in chat. (like who or how or lederhosen)

- "Play for points" game maps always use same landscape as your console shows in the menu at the moment. Should be random.

you can easily get around the 'ho' problem by using the zero number key, whats with people all wanting to write ho, actually i did use it to write 'tally ho', lol.

- Crosshair isn't working right
Not exactly a bug. Crosshair works as best it can for all cases. See Afrohorse's post on the subject.

- Ranking does not work for all players
Possible bug. We're looking into this. (Not right now, it's Sunday evening, but you know what I mean.)

- Infrastructure games randomly crash by stucking to "waiting for other players..." and finally shutting down session...
Not a bug. When network communications fail, this is all that we can do: try to re-establish communications (waiting for players...) and halt the session if it's not successful (this session is no longer available).

...or even shutting down your console.
Possible bug. This is the first I've read about it so it, so I can't comment any further.

- 1 vs 1 game session ends when one player leaves the game. But in 2 vs 2 game game stays going even if both enemys leave the game. (stayed allies get crazy points if there's 3 or 5 rounds)
Not a bug. It's called host migration. You can't migrate the host if there's no-one left to migrate to.

- Some "land drop!" objects spawn without skin they are colored plain grey
Oddly, this is not a bug... but the evidence of the network's bug recovery in action. If the network detects that the game has gone out of synch, it resynchs the game between all machines. It's not feasible to recreate the exact colouring of the landscape, so parts of it can end up grey. Think about it this way: it's either grey bits of landscape or a total desynch and session end... given that choice, I'll go with grey landscape bits.

- Uploaded flags sometimes contains strange white stripes near border of the flag
Possible bug, but again, first I've read of it.

- can't use any words with "ho" in chat. (like who or how or lederhosen)
Not a bug. Network rudeness filter, unfortunately.

- "Play for points" game maps always use same landscape as your console shows in the menu at the moment. Should be random.
I don't actually know what you mean. Could you expand? (As it were.)

This is probably the reason why people say CoSyTo is cheater. You get absolutely crazy points from this "migration". But cos ranking doesn't work with my account nobody will see my score. He has probably played with allie who's points does not save to leaderboard.
