Notes / Media

Other misc. notes about the bug. Picture or videos are appreciated!

On a more serious note, what is being done to resolve the following?:-

  • Horrendously long plaza load times that have only started happening within say the last few updates, what took 20-30 seconds in 2020 now takes up to and in excess of 2 minutes
  • The loading and level streaming issues that have been around from since 2020, whereby entering eg. the casino or the arcade would cause other players to appear to fall in to the void

  • Load times have changed as we have removed references to the Plaza from the main menu. The game would boot up and load various aspects of the Plaza and now it does not, causing the Plaza to take a bit longer to load, but the main menu to not. I am not experiencing 2 minutes to load into a Plaza though, are you on an SSD? We do plan to run another pak load order process that will help with load times.

  • This issue was fixed in the last two builds. The loading screen you are seeing now hides the level until it is fully loaded, keeping you from seeing the world unloaded. Same with when you leave to go back outside from an interior. We rely on Unreal to tell us when a level has fully streamed in.

Do you remember which door caused the soft lock?

I am on the SSD but it’s probably not the fastest and needs some space freeing from it by the looks of things

The issue occurred when leaving the casino and bowling by the doors

This happens when leaving the arcade by using the door too.
Edit: nvm this issue seems to happen at random for me, just happened to me in the casino
