Stand Up Bug

[branko]

It seems this may be back ... or there is some weird terrain error in St Truiden.

Just to the West of St-Tru / Tienen depot (about 5 metres to the west of the little group of buildings) are a long row of berms running S.

Crawling through those berms ... in several places ... will cause your avatar to stand up.

Can I get a lat/long? There's a lot of berms west of there. Well, not that many but I can't find one that makes me stand up.

You must line yourself up EXTREMELY EXACTLY. See the linked screenie (it's tough, I know).

I am at the NORTH tip of the Southern most berm. In the screen shot, having crawled BACKWARD, the stand-up has just occurred. If I lie down at that point and crawl forward, I will stand-up.

It occurs approximately 1m or so onto the (north tip of the) berm.

Once I find the spot, crawling over it in any direction (W,S,D,A) will cause the shift in stance (always prone to upright).

BUT, it ONLY seems to happen when I am facing in a NE direction - This seems the common thing ... It will not happen if I face in a different direction

It is VERY frustrating to find the exact point it does it - But once I find it, I can repeat it 100% of the time.

It only seems to "work" when crawling (when it will go to walk) ... crouch does not go to walk.

In the live game I was able to do this on one of the other berms further North up the little chain. I could not find the same "exact" spot offline (but it was there).

Thought: Is it that the edge of the berm is ever so slightly raised from the terrain? I can think of nothing else. Visually I see no tears or other similar occurances.

Best of Luck - It is very frustrating to find, but when you do will repeat 100% of the time.

Crawling over the new IFP will also force you every now and then to rise up to crounched state.

How to replicate: deploy a IFP and crawl over it back and forth.

It is better now in 1.32.2. In 1.32.0 was did it happen all the time. In 1.32.2 did I really have to crawl back and forth for a while before it happened. But as soon as it did "kick in" did it also become easier to repeat. Odd? Indeed!

I've had this happen before sporadically. Thought it was a feature so I didn't bother locating.

Sometimes crawling over complex berms causes you to stand up.
