Vortex Crash - Is He Back?

[LazerusKI]

Happened to a member of our team today during a Void Defense - ok a crash can happen sometimes, maybe it was not related to vortex.

until then i had only massive fps drops with larger groups, mainly during the last 3 waves of void defense, also very often the "split" between its visual and physical effect. but never a crash

 

But now i got it myself

 

How?

 

I have thrown vortex, hit a grineer napalm in the face while running towards him - he knocked me down.

in the exact same moment while i was falling to the ground, Vortex was activating, pulling me towards the center

(yes, Vortex can still affect the players while they fall to the ground, also there is a small initial pull at its activation)

i reached the center in not even a second - together with a bunch of enemies...thats the last thing i could see...game crashed, send the report file, now im here

That pull-in from the vortex is a lag issue. You have a little bit of client-to-host delay and your Vortex is suddenly sucking your allies up for half a second. I also noticed that the crash (or INTENSE lag) happens when I have two vortexes up with a lot of power duration and body parts (among other things) floating about in them.

Another thing is, it seems only to happen if u are client ^^.

If u are host everything go's well.

Also the initial pull happens to me when I play solo to .... ...

Tried it together with Schmuse

He was host, i used Vortex -> Crashed me. Multiple times

I was host, i used Vortex -> Crashed him.
