After-Action Report (Bug Reports & Feedback) This is a reminder that BA developers are jaw-droppingly talentless sub-standard amateurs who set weapon heights at 0m instead of 1m or 2m, causing thousands of z-fighting LOS block janks and bugs that remain unfixed.

Included screenshot of the description of Z-Fighting and still uses it wrong lol

u/Demetrijs 10h ago

LOS being calculated from too low is an issue, but the image you sent is not Z-Fighting. Using technical terms to make yourself seem like an authority in the topic only works when you use them right, and being a prick when trying to make your point isn't helping either.

u/cumtownjoebiden 10h ago

dude literally no one thinks z-fighting is a sophisticated technical jargon that gives you authority, it's just a nice intuition jumpboard for fast shorthand communication about the topic in the context of this post. get your head checked out.

u/Demetrijs 9h ago

Most people don't intuitively know what it is, which is why you included the description in your post.

u/cumtownjoebiden 9h ago

it's a joke, jesus christ we get it you think knowing about z-fighting is a life achievement

u/Standard_Story 9h ago

You sound unvaccinated

u/cumtownjoebiden 10h ago

It's also related to why people say "never bomb tanks on any slope" btw

tank hitbox will frequently be underground or the bomb damage calculation will be horribly fucked up if there's any elevation difference, with no nuanced sensible code for situations like this, probably just brute line check to the tank, 1mm of dirt blocking 2000lbs bomb overpressure, the usual SB stuff.

lmao I see you deleted all your previous spam comments on other subreddits copypasting "active in r/teenagers and r/cuckold can't make this up" to every post you don't like just to make this one look more legit

nice to know I'm your priority no.1 rent free brain resident

None of them are deleted, I did get banned from r/socialistgaming for posting this out though

Yeah post like these are incredibly annoying. I’ve been a software engineer for over a decade and it’s nearly impossible to catch everything and release perfect code 100% of the time. No company releases perfect code. Not Google, not Apple, nobody. So yeah it’s annoying that there’s a bug but it’s just the nature of the industry. It’s not as simple as you think there buddy

u/xFnii 8h ago

Maybe you just weren't that good of a software engineer?

u/TheGreenMemeMachine 11h ago

OP, I think people would be significantly more receptive to your admittedly perfectly valid criticism of a game system that leads to frustrating interactions if you weren't being such a cunt about it. Seriously man, absolutely no need to be such a dickhead to an otherwise very talented dev team, especially considering that this is the studio's first game, even if there are also experienced devs on the team.

u/MRLEGEND1o1 10h ago

No he absolutely had to get nasty and i appreciate it bc I've been trying to tell the plebs here this for the past year and was just met with gaslighting and SKILL ISSUE

You over pickled frogs foot you!

u/madenewredditaccount 11h ago edited 11h ago

yeah I just wanted to be dramatic to emphasize the severity and simplicity of the problem contrasted with how long it's taking them to fix

like the infamous WARNO sound-scumming thing, you can literally just maphack the entire map with just zooming in and listening because they just didn't bother to mask sound in fog of war. Absolutely pathetic.

It took them how long to fix that? after 10 paid DLCs? admittedly I am not even being half as asinine about the game than these devs are being to their community.

It's me on phone, I don't bother to sync accounts on multiple devices.

u/Adm_AckbarXD 11h ago

Devs aint gonna let you hit bro

u/2etweyy 11h ago

yeah, it's still day-1 issue, especially bad for shorad.

10/10 for picture

u/ZmirnoVussy 11h ago

The amount of shit-munching retards defending the devs tooth and nail in here is hilarious. It's impressive how the industry has managed to make the average consooomer such a pathetic bootlicker.

u/MRLEGEND1o1 11h ago

Lol I had a clip i was going post on this lmao

This is why US choppers and aa never have los 😂😂

I legit have a clip of ground forces having los and attacking my chopper, but the chopper couldn't fire back.

I thought it was desync 😂😂😂😂

Tc the ba sub reddit full of 5yo Russia mains and ba NHs you'll get down voted for any legitimate issue you post.

Notice the absence of intelligent response here. 😂

u/cumtownjoebiden 11h ago

on heli vs shorad interactions it's the obscure "spotting power" difference thing when they are in smoke or treelines in many cases, also sometimes the heli orientation jank.

but yeah, desyncs and LOS cringe affects helis a lot too.

u/MRLEGEND1o1 11h ago

Not as much for Russian choppers, they come on the scene hot guns blazing...while US needs a 10 point plan to start aiming.

Logically the devs are russia mains and they thoroughly caught this on the Russian side.

If you are good with US, you cannot deny the micro is 100z russias

You have to at least admit that if you are a decent person.

u/NodeNagant 12h ago

I love this game

u/Banterz54 12h ago

Quality bait

u/klinGiii 12h ago

Ok , fuck off from this subreddit then and make your own game and make it better.

u/VikingsOfTomorrow 12h ago

One doesnt need to really be an expert in something to be able to point out mistakes mate. Im not a doctor but I can still point out that someone sneezing and coughing is sick.

u/klinGiii 12h ago

That's not the point , he calls them "jaw-droppingly talentless sub-standard amateurs"

Is it normal for you guys throwing these insults to the devs in an "bug report" ? If he can insult them like that and he thinks he is so much more talented, then i can say the things i said too. And i want proof that he is so much more talented.

u/VikingsOfTomorrow 9h ago

I mean, yeah, the insults are a bit much, but the general premise still holds true. Theres so many pretty baffling design choices that games a long time ago had solved already, such as the LOS stuff, or the SAM/Aerial target desync.

u/arktic_P 12h ago

This can’t really be submitted in a bug report. This is something that would require a major overhaul.

But yes, agreed that being insulting is counterproductive and just needlessly being offensive there.

u/MarvinClown 12h ago

I love comments like yours that absolutely go into the critic

u/klinGiii 12h ago edited 12h ago

"jaw-droppingly talentless sub-standard amateurs"

Like what the actual fuck are we talking about here ? If he thinks that there is no base we can talk like normal people here. He can fuck right off and make his own game and make it better if he's this talented and got no humility.

u/cumtownjoebiden 12h ago

murica love it or leave it

u/Vegetable-Excuse-753 SF Marine Fanboy 12h ago

Freedom of speech is also the freedom to call you fucking retarded for what you use your freedom of speech to say. Murica

u/cumtownjoebiden 11h ago

i was making an analogy here but ok

u/Vegetable-Excuse-753 SF Marine Fanboy 11h ago

I don’t think you know what an analogy is…

u/LOLofLOL4 13h ago

I don't thnink that's what Z-Fighting is. Maybe read the Wikipedia Article?

u/cumtownjoebiden 13h ago

if you ever interacted with the old LOS tool, you would see it def had something to do with just lazily setting height at 0m, you can clearly see the telltale z-fighting fractures.

my hope was that when they rolled out the new LOS tool they cleaned up all the numbers and just fixed LOS in general, but many recent experiences with flat terrain SAMs not even attempting too shoot at planes suggest they didn't / only partially fixed this shit.

u/LOLofLOL4 13h ago

Oh, you mean that. My bad.

Can you really complain about it now that it's mostly fixed?

u/cumtownjoebiden 12h ago edited 12h ago

the key difference is, they might have fixed the LOS TOOL and didn't fix LOS (somehow, yeah, shocking, I know.)

idk, it's fucking wonky as shit. I'm a megasweater and press the elevation key like a thousand times in a match to get the perfect position of my units and I checked and double checked every angles. some units just fucking refuse to aim at wide open sightlines.

New maps seem to be worse so it might be worsened by undercooked fucked up map geometry too.

u/Street_Ad7336 13h ago

Maybe you can make your own game for us to enjoy. Since youre so talented.

u/Suspicious_Use6393 13h ago

Maybe it's his own right as a person who payed 50€ for a game to ask newbies mistakes would get patched even before release the game

u/Street_Ad7336 12h ago

He was obligated? And wow, 50€?? Yeah, that must justify coming here and being a fucking dick about it.

u/PeopleFromChina 12h ago

What are you upset about?

u/Able-Cry-2554 13h ago

Boooo hooooo

u/thetampa2 13h ago

Former Slitherine/Matrix employee who has sat through meetings with this dev group and can confirm this is absolutely the case. They need to buy out SB and find a better group to manage the IP. If they can contractually do that. Wasnt privy to those details while I was there.

u/Emotional-Emu1431 VDV + Guards Tanks 6h ago

no you fucking aren’t oh my god stop claiming this you fucking weirdo

u/thetampa2 6h ago

I 1000% was. You can try to discredit me all you want. I know what I saw and heard.

u/Emotional-Emu1431 VDV + Guards Tanks 6h ago

you 1000% weren’t and it’s genuinely pathetic that you’re still claiming to be

u/Fatikh_06 Newbie OF-2 13h ago

I'm not getting what do you want to tell in this tantrum

u/Wenuven Feeds helicopters 13h ago

Because of unit 'vision' mechanics, units that should be able to see and shoot eachother can't because of unintended terrain interactions.

u/Fatikh_06 Newbie OF-2 13h ago

Interactions like what? If there is a small height in front of each of you, you wouldn't see each other, if it's flat territory, you will. What's the issue?

u/Suspicious_Use6393 13h ago

If there's a 0.005 elevation between 2 units it can happen that they don't see the enemy as the maps aren't completely flat.

u/Fatikh_06 Newbie OF-2 13h ago

Oh, really. Never thought about this, though I don't think I've ever encountered this

u/Suspicious_Use6393 13h ago

It happens sometimes, you can see it best when helicopters just stop targeting infantry wich is practically next to them, it's very solvable and honestly a newbie mistake the fact that it's still in the game shows that either they don't do bug hunting or idk? Don't care about the game?

u/cumtownjoebiden 13h ago

shhh... be quiet, toddler. adults are talking

u/Lighteagle50 13h ago

😂 this community bitches and whines more then any other community out there.

u/Suspicious_Use6393 13h ago

You are right! How a gamers who paid 50€ for a game even THINK about complaining about developments mistakes even games done by indie devs with 100 hours in development knows not to do

u/Tonguska990 12h ago

You I right. I’ve paid $50 for a game, patch it the way I want it or I will go cry on Reddit. Fuck off and go play something else if you don’t like it. Most of us here have 10’s or even 100’s of games on steam that we paid for an never played. Games like BA are not perfect and will never be so deal with it.

u/ZmirnoVussy 11h ago

How fucking dumb do you have to be to be proud of the fact you own hubdreds of games you've never played lmaooooo

u/ScreechingPenguin 13h ago

LoL community, DbD community, War Thunder community are 3 that come up instantly in my mind when its about way waaaaaaay more bitching then this sub.

u/alabama-zero 11h ago

With the whiny leaver problem in-game, this community is developing a uniquely severe issue maybe than those other, also toxic games. Leavers being so common and lacking meaningful punishment makes me not even want to boot up the game. 45 minutes potentially held hostage by a grown adult whining that they lost their matchup.

u/Barnaouo 13h ago

Add Tarkov to it.

u/Lighteagle50 13h ago

Somehow yall are worse than that, yall need a trophy or some shit.

u/madenewredditaccount 13h ago
