FC2 Bug Thread

[Jinro]

Also, even if i die in an A10 campaign mission, i can continue on to the next mission as if magically rejuvenated? Strange.

 

I think that's just the way the mission goals in the A10 campaign are set. In the F15 campaign, in order to advance to the next mission, you have to complete all tasks and return to base. In the A10 campaign, all you have to do is complete all tasks. So after you destroy your targets, you can just fly straight into a mountain and still be able to continue the campaign.

thanks for the input mastiff and jinro, reassigning all axes for all aircraft fixed the bug. i can now fly the A10 :D

Moar bugs to report. Actual bugs. Not just me screwing up the game.

 

Silly AI thinks he can kill me.

 

But seriously, this is annoying. I can understand enemy planes trying to evade me in order to not be shot down, but this completely unarmed Yak-40 is actually trying to CHASE me!

 

It's very easy to replicate this glitch as well. I've done it twice now. The plane's task is "transport". Also note that the plane exceeds its "maximum" speed and altitude in order to give chase!

 

 

This game is still loaded with AI bugs including but not limited to this. I know they fixed the AI for the Sochi-Adler base in the last patch, but ALL airbases I have used so far have problems with the AI in one form or another.

 

The AI is still screwy as you all know. But this is just the beginning. Still a lot of problems with the map editor and the in-game map. There's even invisible hills I've crashed into. See below. Damaged helicopters LANDED on this invisible hill.

 

I can't count how many times wingmen have taken off from an airbase to follow me after reloading. They just turn and throttle it, flying through objects, floating in mid air, and flying in a straight line with wheels down until I tell them to RTB.

 

Then they just stop in mid air and sit there about 100 feet above the ground...

 

Oh, and then there's the carriers. They launch off the deck with their wings folded. Got a screenshot of this one.

 

 

Stupid pilot. >_> Oh, and for the record, skin mods don't screw with the AI. I love how everyone assumes that a simple mod like that will break the programming of the game. I've been modding Lock On since the original. It won't mess up anything.

 

Oh yea, and the helicopters... This is a terrain glitch, but I saw them land in mid air too. I have screenshots of that too and a location on a map. Likewise, my plane magically explodes flying over this region. Happened not once, not twice, but ALL the time.

 

 

I just don't fly there anymore.

 

Oh yea, and anyone who's developed a decent mission knows that the mission editor map does NOT match up with the in-game terrain. And compass directions are still screwed up. The game either ignores my inputs or resets them most of the time. And the AI still behaves wrong on airfields except for Sochi because Sochi is the only one they fixed. Don't know why...

 

 

 

Water level is also wrong further south, it seems. Weapons often fail to hit because the water is in the way, or the phalanx fails to shoot down incoming missiles.

 

 

Please tell me Eagle Dynamics EVENTUALLY has another patch planned. :\

[Spades_Neil]

I've only ever seen this happen twice, and it's always with my Kh-25MPU's

 

 

what on earth causes this? :huh:

 

Yeah, I get this on the MPU as well.

 

I have gotten this problem since this game came out.

 

I mostly ignore it now, but it only happens in multiplayer for me. Seeing as most people seem to play multiplayer, it always feels like I'm the only one getting the more bizarre glitches. :\

I'm starting to doubt whether the devs even tested this game before releasing it.

[71st_Mastiff]

looks more like a clipping issue with Graphic setting. I don't get this.

Im having an issue with my copy of Flaming cliffs 2 as well. When I am playing multiplayer, sometimes I like to check my stats while I am flying. Every now and then when I hit the escape button, I get booted from the mission, and then automatically get put into another aircraft parked on the tarmac. This is a really annoying bug. It doesn't happen all the time, but enough that I am afraid to hit the escape button, when I am really far into a mission.

What stats are you checking by pressing Escape? All I see when I press that is the list of aircraft. Scores can be accessed by pressing ' by default.

 

Is it possible you might be accidentally sending other inputs to the game sometimes, so when you press Escape you also somehow manage to tell the game to switch you to a different plane or back into spectators or something? Maybe errant mouse input that wouldn't normally be noticed when playing?

[Gunhawk]

GAI task is still bugged. Intercept aircraft take off after some seconds if the awacs or radar has not yet detected anything.

 

It works well when the enemy is detected quickly tho (you don't even need to setup waypoints or target zones, so that part is resolved from DCS:Ka-50)

 

What is the point of a GAI task working only if the enemy is detected quickly? I though the aim of a GAI Mission is to wait until detection and than intercept was has been detected.

 

It is very unfortunate that this bug seem to be still in FC2

[Jinro]

This is kind of nit-picking....and the problem might be because I have the Gy's F15, but I just now noticed this:

 

The F15's air intake ramps don't move like they should. On engine startup, the intake ramps should slam in the down position, and they should change automatically depending on the aircraft's speed and AoA.....I have yet to witness this in FC2.....(and the sounds of the startup sequence are pathetic)

[BR55Sevas]

Somebody knows how to fix this?

I know this is feature of DCS 3D engine, but...

 

 

thx

When I click on the start icon for FC2 SP the MP FC2 starts?:huh:

Just started happing this week.

[Outlaw]

Hi Mastiff long time,,,

 

Go to ur desktop icon, right click and point the target for the MP to

 

Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe

 

and the single player icon to

 

Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\Launcher.exe

[71st_Mastiff]

what about the NVIDIA settings?

for some reason the new NVIDIA program profiler is not working for this as it starts the MP GUI at the same time it starts the SP GUI. I think ED should look into making a separate .exe for this as the NVIDIA control panel is not working for this correctly.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but maybe this will help:

 

The single-player GUI is provided by Launcher.exe. When you press the Fly button, it loads up simulator.exe to provide the actual mission. The multi-player GUI is provided directly by simulator.exe.

 

My nVidia profile is set to spin up the fans on my GPU when simulator.exe is running. So in SP, that means I can faff about in the editor for as long as I want, and it's only when I hit that 'Fly' button that the new profile is loaded and the fan setting takes effect.

 

Running the game in multiplayer mode will cause the profile to be loaded straight away, even if you just stay at the menu. This is pretty much a 'by design' thing. I think the eventual plan is not to have a separate 'launcher' GUI and instead have all those components integrated with the new game engine, but that's probably a long time from happening.

[Outlaw]

When u set ur profile in Nvidia control center u had to choose the .exe file..

u have to make 2 profiles one for MP and one for SP

 

MP exe file is simulator.exe

SP exe file is Launcher.exe

[nomdeplume]

Why do you have to make two profiles? The 3D part of the game is always run by simulator.exe. I don't know if there's any useful settings to apply to the GUI itself..?

[Outlaw]

one profile should be enough as u said,,, I double checked..my bad

Im not making 2 profiles as

I stated at the begining of this thread all of a sudden when I start FC2 SP the SP GUI is there when I click on the FC2 F15 quick start mission it starts the MP GUI.

[nomdeplume]

So that raises the question, what have you changed?

 

I tried renaming the quickstart mission and that results in an error and it being 'stuck' on the loading screen, so it's not a case of the file being missing. Have you made any changes to that mission? Does it happen with any of the other quickstart missions? Installed any mods etc.?

 

And you really didn't make it at all clear what was happening in your earlier post, btw.

[Steel Jaw]

my bad

 

That phrase needs to be outlawed. :doh:

[Jinro]

I still want my F15C intake ramps to move....AI's works find but the player's is perpetually stuck in the up position.

[Exorcet]

Just found a strange one. I was in the ME doing nothing abnormal, I go to change my plane's task from the deafault to Fighter Sweep. I do this, and the text in the task box turns bright green. All of a sudden, the map becomes very sluggish to respond. I go to try the mission and my there are strange white squares in the sky (where stars should be? It's a day mission). There is also a fuzzy black line on the horizon. My frame rate has dropped from 70 to something like 5 and my buttons don't respond properly. I have no idea what's going on. Quitting the game and restarting doesn't help. I have no mods and I'm up to date with patches.
