MANY Problems getting worse

[legear]

1. Why cant i see any enemy lmgs or atrs.. they look silly. they are holding something, but you cant see it.

2. Why are panzers still spawning on fire?

3. Why are panzer 4ds taking numerous m10 rounds thru tank from 2 meters, catching on fire, and still shooting for about ten seconds until turret explodes.

4. When you are extremly close in tank, and fire on another tank, it does nothing...

5. Ive been wasted a couple times pulling out of AB, my turret pops off, but i still RTB and get a reservation, robbing some poor german camper of a kill.

6. Like number 5, i have killed numerous panzers, where i dont get kill, and sometimes dont register a hit.

7. When in tank sometimes, you can park near a berm, and your tank wont be moving, but you gun will always move or drift to one side, even when you have brakes on.... very annoying.

8. When you lose tracks, is it nessecary for when you shoot, for the tank to rock back and forth like crazy, for a whole minute after shoot... silly.

1 is a valid complaint, i posted about this a while ago.

I can regularly not see the gun infantry are holding from 200-400m or so away.

If I can get a bit more of a list on that I'll run an audit. Might simply be LOD issues.

Happening almost always now to me.

What kind of things do you need? I'll try to collect it.

[GOPHUR]

Just give me one I can replicate and I'll take it from there. Give me a step by step.

I see inf without weapons at distance.

I have level of detail (LOD) set to lowest in the preferances/ infantry seting.

I think the prob is that lowest lod on the inf weapons is not displaying...I assume lowest lod should display a "stick" weapon.

Load the game offline.

Set the LOD slider in the infantry section of the preferances to full left (lowest).

Spawn as inf (I tried lmg as it has pretty big variance LOD to LOD).

Set a line of clones about 10' between each clone. Set 10 or so clones.

Now as inf viewing the clones the guns remain visable at long range...100/200m but useing binos you can catch the gun blinking into view as you pan across the far clones.

I used a 2 pounder atg and useing the commander on it you can get the guns to not render at closer range.

1. Why cant i see any enemy lmgs or atrs.. they look silly. they are holding something, but you cant see it.

The weapons have LODs. This is to improve performance. I've started an audit to see if there are any that are out of bounds so to speak.

2. Why are panzers still spawning on fire?

Bad data. These should be fixed in 1.34.

3. Why are panzer 4ds taking numerous m10 rounds thru tank from 2 meters, catching on fire, and still shooting for about ten seconds until turret explodes.

No idea. I tried to replicate just now but not seeing this. Can you give me a method?

4. When you are extremly close in tank, and fire on another tank, it does nothing...

How close? Give me a screen shot from the external view. Might be your muzzle has penetrated the other guy. Uncertain. First report I've seen.

5. Ive been wasted a couple times pulling out of AB, my turret pops off, but i still RTB and get a reservation, robbing some poor german camper of a kill.

Your RTB status has zero to do with wether someone gets a kill on you. The turret pops off when you despawn to let the other guy know (and you) that he got a critical on you and will be getting the kill.

6. Like number 5, i have killed numerous panzers, where i dont get kill, and sometimes dont register a hit.

There is some reporting issues I've seen reported on CSR. Frustrates me too. I can't seem to get it ironed out.

7. When in tank sometimes, you can park near a berm, and your tank wont be moving, but you gun will always move or drift to one side, even when you have brakes on.... very annoying.

Your whole tank or just the turret?

8. When you lose tracks, is it nessecary for when you shoot, for the tank to rock back and forth like crazy, for a whole minute after shoot... silly.

Agreed. Hasn't gotten to the top of the priority list yet.

Yeah OldZeke is awesome.

I'll run a test

Test 1 - Low Infantry LOD setting

• spawn a uk lmg
  
• go to the offline range and place them every few yards from 0 to 500m
  
• go back to start line and look for first one to not have a gun
  
• mark this one by placing another close right by it
  
• despawn
  
• set INF LOD to high
  
• respawn
  
• observe previous LOD issues
  

Problem is on lowest setting I see inf all with their guns so... let me go past 500m all the way to 1km. Offline so I don't need to adjust my vis limit settings. So I'll just back up until they disappear.

I'm backing up from the target with normal vision, see an LOD shift @45m, still has weapon.

OK right about 55m I can see his gun disappear. This is naked eye. WIth binos I still see the weapon. Makes sense as binos effectively move your eye closer. I know what you're thinking but this isn't real life, there's no such thing as zoom because you have to adjust image and object quality.

Yup sure enough his weapon and LOD pop back when I go to binos. This is probably easier to spot since I have 90 troops in the screen.

So let's go to high inf lod and compare. Didn't say I needed a restart, cool.

@45m he clearly still has his weapon

@100m he clearly still has his weapon

OK now time to test with a different weapon to see if these are all similar.

I'll go derifleman since that'll be easy to see aimed. Switch back tpo low LOD to test 45m. Yup pops in at 45m and out at 50.

You can stand at 50m and aim and unaim and see it pop in and out. I imagine you can do this with every weapon but I don;t see a need to test it.

So what this tells me is expected functionality. If you tell the game "My performance needs help, lower my infantry LOD settings so I'm drawing less traingles in heavy scenes" then it will. And the first things that drop off are kit objects followed by weapons. You did notice the kit objects right?

Thanks for the update, i know whine and cry alot, and i know the game will have issues and bugs, and most of the time i report or ask about these issues to try to help identify things and make the game better, however it also frustrates me at times as well.

I'm always glad to answer questions and it's even nice sometimes because I'll get an idea about how to fix something that's been long standing or I'll learn about an issue I didn't know was there.
