Known Bugs: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 09:23, 9 June 2024

A list of known issues, not including minor details like grammatical errors in NPC dialogues. For a more complete list of reported issues, see the forum here

Barter

~~When using the trade function to Barter directly between characters, Hidden Mode can crash game client.~~ Should be fixed

Bases

Sometimes a new faction leader gets auto-demoted to Recruit after building a new base

Caravans

Some Caravans have been known to stop suddenly, throwing all player characters to map, especially between Hub and Gunrunners

Encounters

Often times, the NPC groups that you actually find in random encounters are not the NPC groups indicated by the encounter prompt
Looting a dead NPC often moves the corpse to an adjacent hex, resulting in loot failure/malfunction

Interface

Audio chime often not heard on non-SE forced encounters - new issue as of last update
- In the past, the absence of the forced encounter audio chime always meant you found a Special Encounter
Running client in Full-Screen mode sometimes has resolution issues, including world map functionality
~~Game client crashes sometimes when dropping items one-by-one on ground from character inventory.~~
If you die, for example from Poison, while driving a vehicle on the Worldmap, you will need GM assistance to respawn
Clicking Quests in Pip-Boy shows info for wrong quest Read this for a temporary fix
Repair Timer is triggered during a Junktown quest, which prevents Crafting

Items

Hypo does not work with "Take All", as when found in a footlocker and you use that button to take all contents in the footlocker
Flint does not work with Control+G "grab all"
There are two in-game items with brahmin hide inventory image, but the lessor-known one looks correct on ground too
If you find a stack of multiple Stimpak blueprints, they might only work if used from their stack, and might not work individually if removed from their stack

Maps

Cannot build Tents in zone 14:18 or in zone 20:30
Stand in front of the rear wheel of a Cockroach car, and the wheel appears to be in front of you
Multiple places where characters can run behind walls and into/thru solid rock (to be reported here)
Multiple places in towns where active Scavenging nodes are blocked - nobody can scavenge them even though we get the Tool icon overhead

Mechanics

Characters log out in towns and don't disappear after the usual 3 minutes
Repetitive mining in a quarry can lead to a lot of client crashes with a Windows-style error box. No choice but to close box, close game client and re-launch

Miscellaneous

Player Farms are sometimes appearing on top of a town, like Redding
- Same with some quest locations, like the robot tent in the main quest
~~Dialogue error with Rancher at Player Farms.~~
~~Settlers at Player Farms do not "unlock" and have no dialogue to do so even after unlocking the church.~~
Grab-All (Control+G) does not work on Broc/Xander in Lander's Point
Grab-All (Control+G) does not work on Flint
No Brahmin Dung in the pen at Vault City, apparently due to constipated Brahmin there
When poisoned, use an Antidote and get the text message, "You gained 30 Current Poison Level" even though your Current Poison Level has reduced; message seems backwards

NPC Companion Followers

These Followers have been known to disappear and/or become very hard/impossible to find
- When a companion dies, the players should expect a delay in finding them anyway. You might need to search multiple tents/bases
- When a companion dies in the NPC caravan encounter where also the Caravan Leader dies, the companion is lost forever.
- When choosing a base as meet-up point, use the "SAY" button to type the name of the specific base (not the name of the faction), and do not expect a confirmation
Young Adventurers come back even after using permanent removal option

Other NPCs

Claire the Tanner is a man, and Claire can be a man's name, but in-game desc does not match
~~Ronnie of the Wasteland Band is usually stuck since S3 began. Hidden behind bar and won't move~~
Dialogue with T-Ray about the Rot Gut Engine Upgrade suggests your vehicle needs to be in his garage first. Wording needs to be altered for clarification

Quests

A Tent in the Wasteland locations stay on worldmap after completion, and persist for months (years?)
Hippocratic Oath allows examination of only 2 of Frier's children, but quest status in Pip-Boy points to more
No way to get Hydroelectric Magnetosphere Regulator anymore - might be since Science/Repair caps were changed to 125
Fuzzy Painting for Risto still does not work after 10? years
- Okay, might be working now, but item was changed from painting to some semi-rare item nobody will ever provide, so might still need to be fixed to work with painting (or other normal item)
Blood-Soaked Heroes: The main quest only loads to your Pip-Boy after Cira is shot, so if you cancel dialogue with Cira before she gets shot, and exit to The World map and re-enter, the farm family's tent is back, Cira and her dogs are gone, and you apparently have no way to start the main quest
Investigate a hidden bunker near Necropolis can get into an "error" state, and become unrecoverable
Day of the Wanderer: possibly each quest location in this quest-line is broken as the relevant NPCs usually don't spawn
Kill the Basement Rats: no spore plants in cave - can't kill, can't finish
BoS quest-line leads to a large mutant camp, but the boss mutant is no longer there, thus preventing quest-line progression to the "Alpha Bunker" and beyond.

Turn-Based Activities

Combat gets "stuck" in some quests if done in Turn-Based mode, and can take a painfully long to time to complete. Better to use Real-Time
Caves can also be a problem in TB

- Done = Bug fixed, confirmed!
Type = Attempt to categorize bug records
Verified = Who has confidently confirmed this bug is real?
Developer = Which dev is working on this

	Bug #00?	Map	OPEN	0-9	Henry added on (date)	Reported by (old problem)	Verification Steps {{{verify}}}
	this is a test record where a brief description of a bug would be, and blah blah blah a bunch of other words here to describe this issue, and on and on, blathering until developers want to give go drinking.

Not a bug - actually a feature - meant to be this way.
