Mission
chasm station hl-16-11 (assassination) - Uprising 2 difficulty

Mission Modifier
None

Reproduction Rate:
Once (First time in 38+ hours)

Notes:
Loaded into a mission solo after waiting for the full 60 seconds in lobby. Near the beginning, two players joined at the same time, and all three bots were still present. I could not see the other players’ health bars, only the bots. Some time later, player 4 joined and one bot was removed. The player health bar on my screen after PC 4 joined was one of the first two who joined at the beginning, not the player who joined last. Other than there being two extra characters, game seemed to function as normal. Players would quip back and force, sometimes two PCs, sometimes a PC and a Bot. Spawns didn’t seem to be affected. Nobody went down, died, Trapper grabbed, etc., so I cannot verify if PC-PC interactions functioned as normal. Assassination target died in 20 seconds because two extra hands attacking the boss made quick work of its health, though I did notice the shield blast that normally removes all toughness from players within range didn’t remove any toughness from anyone hit (from the 4 health bars I could see, anyway). All post game rewards, including weekly challenges, functioned normally.

I just experienced this today. Someone dc’d and immediately another person joined. But the bot remained.

Dear Fatshark dev,

I just played a match where my team consisted of 5 total members. 3x players and 2x BOTS. Also bots were not help the downed team members.

Sincerely,
Hail Bastion

A random match yesterday- spawning in, I was a Veteran. With no platform beneath me xD Falling into an abyss beneath the level…
So dead. When res’d though, we all paused after about 2 mins, realising we had a bot with us… a 5th reject running about! Completed the level with him! He was just a basic bot, there wasn’t a 5th player icon up the side or anything, just rando bot.


Not complaining hahaha, it was just funny, But was as stable. Something musta happened on connection so I’ll attach logs…

It was one of those.

Was playing a game this morning when I realized there were 4 players and 1 bot in game. One of the players health bar isn’t present at all. I don’t know how to reproduce it, and it was on steam.

Issue Description:
I was in the process of creating a new character when the servers experienced issues today. I was logged in at the time, and able to continue despite the reported outages.
I completed character creation and opted to play the prologue.
The session failed to load, and took me back to the character select screen. My new character was not displayed.

I went through the process again and created a new character, and played the prologue.
When I returned to the character select screen later, the original “new character” was included in the list, as my 6th slot.

I’m able to fully scroll up and down the operative list, everything “functions as expected”, but chose to take the screenshot half way down, just to display the 6 portraits.
I intend to delete both “Reginald” characters, as these were just to test something

4 players and two bots spawned in after a long load time
(possibly started with three players three bots and one bot changed to a player shortly after game start)

I managed to get 4 players + 2 bots

On the screenshot you can see 2 players + 1 awaiting rescue in the boss chamber + me + 2 bots.

Log’s fairly big, scroll to last game played in this session

Issue Description:

Three games now I have started them, at the loading screen where all the players are sitting in the ship. But it does not load. Waited 3-4 minutes, never takes that long otherwise. (I think one or two of the times I had used the windows key around the time of initiating the game to check something online, if that helps)
This is one bug I am reporting. The other, more interesting bug, only happens AFTER this.
Then, I Ctl/Alt/Del and end the game. Boot back up and it says I have a game in session. I re join the game.
When I rejoin, the BOTS that were in the game stay. Two of the times it was 5 total players (1 extra bot) but one time there were 6 players (2 bots). Only 4 of them show up in squad, not always the actual players. The bots stayed for the entire mission.

Steps to Reproduce:
[Please add the steps that can help our QA department in reproducing the issue. For example:]

  1. Load screen bug as stated above, will not load in ship.
  2. Close game forced (ctl/alt/del)
  3. Restart game, and rejoin game.
  4. Extra players now in game (bots)

Hello
Played a game where there were 4 active players and 1 bot.
Best regards.

Joined a mission in progress and there was myself and one player. Some time later, two more players joined, but I was still only seeing the bots on my UI. The screenshot will show one of the new players that joined, Ephrael, but he isnt shown in the bottom left UI.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Play Power Matrix Repair mission as Veteran Sharpshooter
  2. Have only one other player in the group
  3. Two more players join in
    *I’m unsure if the BOTs were already downed when the new players joined. That may be related to the bug.
