U14 Should Not Have Passed Internal Testing

Ok this update should NEVER have left INTERNAL testing!

 

I give you that its shiny and good looking but the menues are not easy to access.

 

Then we have the outright bugs I have had today which have made me have to restart the game or my computer 9 times today (not exaggerating) and my specs are way more then what this game should need!

 

1. I can get stuck in a chat mode when chatting making it so I cant close the chat, whatever I do the chat is there and as such I cant get to a menu, control my character or anything. I have to forcefully close the game to continue.

 

2. Getting stuck in the login screen for a loooong time and it repeatedly saying check info when the correct info is inputted.

 

3. game randomly crashing on me as the game causes an error in my display driver (NVIDIA) and when this happens I have to reboot my computer to get ANY game to work after this point, as when starting any game after this will just cause an endless loop of display driver has stopped working.... and btw Warframe is the ONLY game installed on my system that causes this crash.... (one example is that Wildstar almost maxxed out in graphics settings does not crash my system, not does it even slow down below 60fps)

 

 

GAH Im ranting but im sooo frustrated atm as it seems DEs skills with the code is getting worse for each day that passes, but it might just be that way for me....

 

also posting here as hoping that some De staff on the forum sees this as the support page takes forever to give any feedback and the replies I have had from there in the past is less intelligent / assumes that I am more of a retard then what my ISP does and they are not exactly good....

 

 

EDIT: this post is as much as a relif for me to get rid of my frustration as anything else... I need somewhere to vent my frustration after this day......

 

also all drivers are up to date ofc

If there is something i have learned when typing on the forums is that, i should never write any topics in it when i am frustrated because later when i read what i wrote then i facepalm myself.

 

So just get a chill pill and surf on.

They simply tried to put too many groceries into a paper bag and had a blowout. It seemed legit only to have it fall apart in there hands. The game however is still in beta so things like this are bound to happen especially with a game changing update such as this.

The chat problem can be avoided by not inviting people by clicking their name on chat and pressing invite. Type it instead.

Login problem might be cause you accidentally had caps on or just did many typos.

Display driver outdated?

I know, but I have played for a LOONG time, more then a year and I have never had THIS many issues with the game.... Just seems to be getting worse and worse as time goes on.

 

I hope however that DE sees this thread and actually look into these issues and get em sorted ASAP. All I want is a working game but right now im sooo pissed as I have missed loot on so many runs today as the games crashes (whats even more annoying si to have to reboot the system to get to play ANYTHING as NVIDIA display driver will j9ust constantly crash once it has happened once)

Funny part is, I personally have not witnessed any of those bugs. Of course, the entire purpose to the 'Beta Bugs' subforum is to submit such, as well as things that might assist DE in replicating your issue.

 

Menus are not easy to access? It's all still accessible directly by hitting Esc. Nothing else has really changed about it, other than the format with which we read it.

 

If you're having an issue where your drivers have an 'error' is to update or reinstall your drivers. New versions come up quite often, and if you're not up to date (or possibly running nvidia beta drivers), you will have problems. Those are driver issues, however. Unless you're computer is brand new and clean, don't expect that everything will work exactly as you think they will, because that's just not how computers work.

even the most in depth methodical internal testing doesn't even come close to the amount of testing WF gets in its first hour with the sheer number of players beating it down and doing things that the testers didn't during testing, to get even close to the amount of hours we had put in in 24h would be months for a dedicated testing team, you don't seem to realize how testing works with internal against external from what your saying. . 

 

you have no idea how many bugs were caught and we never saw, everyone plays the game differently, i may do things that the next person wouldnt in the way i click a button, i may hold the button down for a sec or 2 longer, or move my mouse while clicking, or touch another button before releasing the button, thats just what i could think of in about 10secs, and im 1 person, the sheer scope for bug finding is far beyond anything a company can do in house

I am quite aware of this, I work with computers most of my work hours.

 

I should have been more clear with the menus thing though, its not the menus themselfs, its the map/navigation system in particular and the fact that inviting someone does not work from all the places you can find a list of friends or whatever.

 

and when it comes to the drivers, they are the latest NVIDIA stable drivers...

Well, this was their most ambitious update yet, so as the updates get more and more work, they're going to have more and more bugs.

 

That's why there's a giant freaking bug megathread. DE knows there are bugs, so they get reports from their consumers to solve those problems.

 

It seems as though you have no real constructive criticism on U14 except "lotsa bugs". There is a place you can go to solve that, and it's definitely not in this thread.

I do, however as someone else stated, when you are annoyed as heck with something you are not accessing all of your brain as you are jsut so frustrated... and my crashing might not have been detected in internal testing, the chat one should have been discovered easily as its easy to reproduce the problem.

what mate?

I can explain it a bit further, but its not just "lotsa bugs"

 

The menus problem can be broken down to issues with not beeing consistant with what can and cant be done (click inviting as one example) and that now the map system is shiny and good looking but (at least for me) it gives no sort of quick overview as the last one did, and rotating the planets for getting the maps is not making it better. (this is not a bug issue, its feedback on what I percive)

 

Login issue I cant add mroe information on, but it looked like an issue with the login server, it only happened once but as I said before I was quite annoyed at that point allready.

 

the crash well here we start threading into something I cant explain in that great detail more then the following from the event log in windwos:

its the "nvlddmkm" part of the display driver that is causing the issues, the drivers are the latest stable release from NVIDIA, the error is giving me the details:

0x80000000000000

Event id is 4101 but Im guessing thats my systems local assignment for the issue. Event recordID is 3705 and its a level 3 issue.

 

that is to the limit of what I can provide with information. But I can tell you that its happening over and over and as such is easy to reproduce on my system.
