Common Bugs Compilation

MashmalloMan · November 2021

To help better solve these issues, I thought it'd be a good idea to compile a list of the most common bugs in the game that should have immediate and relatively easy fixes rather than the gigantic task of tackling Cyro Performance problems during prime time which has been years in the making and is probably 1-2 years from away from a resolution. Lets be real..

For some of the bugs here that don't have linked video's, feel free to comment one and I can add it to this post.

Weapon Swap Freezing Bug - Client Freezes for 100-400 milliseconds every weapon swap. Depreciating performance the longer you play, usually 5-30 minutes in:

Only fix is to restart client, rarely fixed from /reloadui.
I've seen a commenter on another thread report this is a memory leak which happens when you push beyond the base limits of the games core management systems. Eg. More than 8 character slots, more than 240 bank slots, more than 200 inventory slots.. I happen to exceed all 3 of these categories, so perhaps they're right? This bug effects me every time I play, but degrades in severity over time randomly.

Invisible Bug - Invisible enemies and allies.

I believe this happens if you join a queued event while using the outfit station. This probably happens because the outfit station has some type of performance optimization which hides players out of your field of view?
I've seen it happen in 4 man group dungeons, but I only have video evidence of BGs.
Fix is to change instances, /reloadui doesn't work.

Sprint Bug - Can't sprint.

Fix is to change instances, /reloadui doesn't work. Restart client to be safe.

Break Free Bug - Can break free anywhere, at any time. Don't need to be attacked.

Sometimes locks player out of casting skills.
Not exclusive to PVP, has happened to me in a Trial before.
Can be fixed from being stunned again.

This clip includes the Invisible, Sprint and Break Free bug in 1 BG match:

Instant Skill Spam Bug - Skills stop casting after continuous inputs.

If you spam any instant skill continuously, eventually inputs are registered client side (as seen on my bar, the input for Crystal Weapon is shown), but not server side (skill is not cast for 2-3 seconds despite showing the input registered on my bar).
This doesn't effect channeled/cast time skills.
Happens when you're moving, standing stationary or trying to cast different skills - if you spam inputs instead of pressing them once or twice a second, the server will force a delay on skill casts for 2-3 seconds.
No fix. This effects the game 100% of the time.

Block Bug - Can't block at all.

Fix is to weapon swap. Not my video, but has happened to me many times before.

Secret BG Portal Bug/Exploit.

Forget the name of the BG map.. there is an invisible portal, near the left spawn on red's side, North on the map.

Leap Levitation Bug - Leap will levitate you as if you're on a low gravity planet.

Only video I have of it happening is where I died, but this can happen when you survive a leap as well.

Gap Closer Bug - Grey's out your skill bars, can't cast anything until stunned out of the animation.

Don't currently have a video for this one.
Effects mainly Stampede, but I've heard it happen to DK's Leap + Chains and NB's Teleport Strike.

Weapons at Feet Bug - Equiped Weapons appear below your character instead of in your hands.

This is an oldy, like 3-4 years old..
Fix is to go into your gameplay settings and change "Hide Polymorph Helmet" from "Off" to "On".
Not sure why this happens.
Don't currently have a video of this since I have the fix on every toon, but everyone I know has been effected by this.

Running on Mount Bug - Nuff Said.

No video, not sure how to replicate, been around since the beginning of the game.
No fix that I know of.
