Morph 0 Posted January 17, 2002 Well, after waiting patiently for 1.42 to fix the most annoying bug known to man (the repeating messages, oh no 5 is down etc), the damn thing still hasnt been fixed!!!! I played a few coop maps before and was shocked that the bug is still there... When BI say it's been fixed, I think they must have only tested it on AI UNITS.... We then tried a map with one AI unit, shot him and ran somewhere using a ALL MOVE TO ,etc, and the bug disappeared... Next we tried it with the 3 of us.. Leader shot me, then got us all to move.. Guess what happened next? 2 REPORT STATUS Oh No 2 is down 2 is down 2 is down 2 is down 2 is down 2 is down Infinity We also tried making a map with mission wizard thinking that it might only be fixed when a 1.42 map is created... Same thing happened... Still waiting..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Transfunsel 0 Posted January 17, 2002 the radio bug was the first thing i wanted to check... and it was the first thing to notice when finally got into a game. sorry but there is no question about the testers work, it seems to me they were still on holiday.

Transfunsel 0 Posted January 18, 2002 and the most frustrating is that this is a bug that shouldn't have appeared in any version because it just kills coop fun. as i am a coop addicted, ofp lost 2 points out of ten of its gameplay rating for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted January 18, 2002 I ONLY ever play coop and it ruins the hell out of the game.. I'm sick and tired of turning the radio volume down just to get rid of the repeating messages... Can't believe it, and neither can the ppl I play regularly with... I'm just suprised there's only been a few ppl replying to this, then again it won't affect DM or CTF I suppose.....

suma 8 Posted January 18, 2002 We dedicated today a lot of effort into reproducing this bug but we did not see it. If someone will be able to provide reliable way to reproduce it, he will greatly increase chance it will be fixed again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eScopic 0 Posted January 19, 2002 How to reproduce the dreaded “OH NO x IS DOWN†Testing Environment Host (eScopic) Windows 2000 Pro OFP 1.42 Client (British Bulldog) Windows 98SE OFP 1.42 Game 1_6_C_LostSquad (Lost Squad 1-6 C) British Bulldog – Alpha Yellow:1 EScopic – Alpha Yellow:2 AI – Alpha Yellow:3 AI – Alpha Yellow:4 Game starts and eScopic grabs a LAW and runs off (like Rambo) to face the oncoming enemy. British Bulldog does the right thing and stays under cover. Naturally, eScopic bites the dust and turns into a seagull. Bully is unaware that I am toast so requests “ALL REPORT STATUSâ€. AI 2 then reports “DAMN 3 IS DOWNâ€, “DAMN 3 IS DOWNâ€, “3 IS DOWNâ€, “3 IS DOWNâ€. Feeling left out AI 4 picks up the thread and reports 3 as down over and over. Finally, British Bulldog joins in the fun and the all have a “OH NO 3 IS DOWN†party. Check link for a heavily compressed JPG - http://www.dvsquad.com/public/oh_no_3_is_down.jpg This bug will reproduce itself if COOP is played on any map that has respawn as a seagull. Does not seem occur if AI die or player does not respawn (zooms in and out on his dead body). I would like to apologise to anyone that was offended by my first (deleted) post on this subject. I came rushing into the forum with the sound “OH NO 3 IS DOWN†still ringing in my ears. I did not think my post was that bad, but you guys are the moderators and I am not going to argue. Suma, if u need more proof/details on this me and the DVSQUAD will be more than pleased to help. eScopic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Morph 0 Posted January 19, 2002 As the post creator, I'd like to thank everyone for the input in getting this damn coop killer fixed.... I tried it again last night with 3 freshly installed OFP on an IP (non dedicated server), we killed an AI and it was fine, then one of us was killed and it started again... You always know when it's gonna start when it says . 5 report status.... *everyone turns radio volume down* I really think that BI only tested it on AI units (which agreed has been fixed).. Try getting a few of you guys down there to have a coop and shoot someone, then you'll reproduce the repeating message, its as simple as that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRITISH BULLDOG 0 Posted January 20, 2002 We all agree the repeated message is there,and above we have an example that shows when and where. So come on BIS lets have a small patch to fix this prob, and please dont keep us waiting a month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

suma 8 Posted January 22, 2002 We reproduced this bug. It seems it happens only after Report status is used. As a temporary workaround do not use Report status until we will provide the fix it. I cleaned this topic to make reading it easier and made it to stay on top of the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
