List the battlefield 3 bugs you've encountered

[Distorted Stu]

I know that there is a LOT of people playing battlefield 3 now and EA did right for making it an open beta to test it. I have found man glitches that i am going to share with you1 Please share your experiences with them. Who knows we can gather up a nice list and send to the the BF3 team in hope that theyll fix them.

My bugs:
Giant ironsight - Occasionally the iron sight on my gun (Usually the AK47) will burst out into giangantic size, ruining my FOV. Forcing me to switch to pistol if i want to see.

Blue screen - When deloying, the game world keeps the blueish tint the respawn menu has. This makes it incredeiblyhard to see

The walking dead - Enimies will slides around on the floor able to shoot me even though they are dead

Auto shotty / fail shotty - Using the shoot gun i sometimes press the trigger and i will shoot all its amunition in a single shot. Also sometimes it doesnt even kill even though they are at point blank.

Fail knife - Y U NO KILL?! Even when they are camping and im crouched behind them tickling their butt, it still doesnt kill.

Thats just the short list ive encountered

 

[Miles000]

I would. But I can't connect to any servers =/

 

[vrbtny]

Not necessarily a bug, but the balancing is totally shit. Hasn't this game heard of mid-match team balancing?

 

[Crises^]

I got rid of the blue tint by bringing up the score screen.
The main glitch I have encountered is when sometimes i lie down near rocks it seems to go through the floor.

Giant ironsight - Occasionally the iron sight on my gun (Usually the AK47) will burst out into giangantic size, ruining my FOV. Forcing me to switch to pistol if i want to see.

This one is pretty much going to be exclusive to the beta as I'd imagine it's already fixed for the main version. It's just something to do with the models loading.

Blue screen - When deloying, the game world keeps the blueish tint the respawn menu has. This makes it incredeiblyhard to see

This one is as easy as hitting escape(or the console equivalent) and then going back into the game. Another easy fix.

The walking dead - Enimies will slides around on the floor able to shoot me even though they are dead

I haven't seen this one happen as much as it did, ever since they fixed up falling through the ground on the PC version it seemed to have stopped for me.


The only major glitch I ever did experience was falling through the ground in certain areas(namely A point at the very beginning; that hill and ditch were both very easy to sink into.) The PC version has been patched and this doesn't seem to happen anymore. I can't speak for the consoles though(not likely given the process updates have to go through and the amount of time left on the beta).

I've had the blue screen thing happen once as well, but that is as simple as pressing a key twice to fix.

And once my primary weapon wouldn't scope in, but that was fixed by switching to my pistol and back. That happened on day one, hasn't occurred since.

 

[Sgt. Dante]

I had an interesting one whereby if a sniper leaves a radio beacon on a rock when you spawn you spawn at ground level (aka in the rock) nearly my whole squad had to suicide to get outta it.

 

[Shaunofthebread]

-Uncontrolably shaking when laying down
-Running in a straight line doesnt always work
-Blue tint
-Reloadin when i dont need to
-Score screen goes all wobbly

 

[AnarchistFish]

I haven't actually come across any yet.

Apart from the clip and stats screen that comes just after you're killed going funny occassionally

 

[Danny Ocean]

In before ORIGINSUXLOLDERP.

I think they've patched the beta a few times since it started. Everything's gotten that much less buggy in that time. I don't fall through the floor any more, but sometimes the lighting bugs out and it gets really dark.

 

[Chaza]

I have glitched through the map multiple times.

So... There's that.

I've had this problem loads of times. Especially when the ground is dug out with explosives glitches you up.

 

[Smooth Operator]

Next to all of the above:
- flashlight blinding in broad daylight
- flashlight blinding out of nowhere and won't go away
- people sink into the map nonstop (then they can shoot you but you can't shoot them)
- people glitching through walls, stuck in walls, spawn inside walls,...

 

[mb16]

going under the map. why cant i just crawl along without being eaten by the earth?

no/random damage. kill 2 guys with my scar with one mag. next guy come and take 1 scar mag and all the pistol mag, and then kills me with 23% health left


infinite loading screens. i left one when i went out for 2hours and it was still loading when i got back

random crashing/freezing. normally when im doing well

animations not happening. with reloads, knifes, jumps

stuck on random terrain. why cant i run over this cardboard box? Its worse with the EOD bot which gets stuck on paper on the ground

people killing me from random places. i was killed at the back of the metro station (3rd area) and the guy who killed me was at the "A" MCOM at the 2nd area, with no Line of sight

sound bugging. every thing goes quite, you can hear it but it sounds like its a few 100m away

UMP. WHY CAN PEOPLE HIT ME AT SNIPING RANGES WITH AN SMG! (especially as the UMP has an effective range of 50 m)

 

[jrubal1462]

Nothing new here, just falling through the ground, and not being able to shoulder my weapon. I would try switching to the pistol, but usually if I'm shouldering my weapon I'm not doing it for shits, it's because I need to shoot somebody, so I don't last long enough to try anything else. I had the blue screen thing once too. Most annoying is the fact that people in an open beta feel the need to exploit the ground bug, and defend alpha from their subterranean hidey hole.

 

[Dirty Hipsters]

I've only played the beta for about 2 hours but here are the glitches that I've experienced:

Glitching through terrain - sometimes resulting in getting stuck in rocks or trees, sometimes allowing me freedom of movement under the map.

Getting stuck on the equipment menu - sometimes when I'm trying to change attachments on weapons, I'll get stuck on that screen without being able to return to the main game menu, or deploy.

Invisible guns - gun textures sometimes don't load properly, and when I pull out a gun, there'll be nothing in my hands for a few seconds, my hands are just empty, gripping an invisible gun.

Guns fall through the map - sometimes when I attempt to pick up an enemy's gun, it falls through the map and I can't get it, same has happened to my equipment, mostly happens to the ammo box.

Visual glitches - random orange lines appear and disappear quickly on my hud.

 

[AnarchistFish]

I don't understand. I've played quite a few games (on 360 btw) and had no problems. Is this luck or what?

 

[ssgt splatter]

So far, the only things I've encountered is losing the connection and the graphics chug from time to time when things get hectic.

But I might not be able to effectively comment on this as Gears 3 is demanding so much of my attention right now.

 

[AnarchistFish]

Oh yes I have actually lost the connection once but I thought that was to do with my own connection

Falling through the floors

When you get revived you can't shoot

Can't jump over ledges until you do the vault animation 3-4 times

Can't aim down sights randomly, to fix it, you have to switch to your pistol, aim down that, then switch back

Game crashing

Squad features DO NOT work. You can make a squad but you'll be put on separate teams, or if you are on the same team, there is a low chance you'll still be in the same squad

Wonky hit detection, sometimes you can kill in 3-4 bullets (no headshot) sometimes you have to use half a clip (with hit markers and no headshots once again)

When you kill a running enemy, they will fly off in the direction they were running

IDK if this is on purpose, but shooting someone in the head DOES NOT kill them automatically. I know they are wearing helmets, but still, it takes more than 3 headshots to kill someone

Flashlights can blind you outdoors

Flashlights blind you from WAAAY to far away

Crappy graphics on consoles, even with all the hype. KZ2 remains to be the best FPS on the PS3

 

[MisterDyslexo]

-Inability to Sprint
Usually solved just by going prone. Is only temporary.

-Inability to ADS.
Solved by just pressing the switch-weapon button twice. You don't even have to do the actual switch.

-Falling through the ground in the entry area (the park)
Either happens to everybody and constantly, or its perfect for everybody. Took me over 25 matches until I experienced it.

-Squad features not working.

-Once the screen was blue after making my selections. Just once, with over 11 hours of gameplay.

-Reload animation doesn't happen, so I don't know if it did it or not.
Usually happens at an unfortunate time.

Everything else seems like a gameplay mechanic, which should be part of its own thread. One obvious missing one is that on 360, you can't mute teammates. You have to join a party half of the time because some guy is doing something annoying with his mic.
