The ever-irritating game flashing bug, when will it ever be solved?


The game flashing from time to time is one of these frequent and notorious bugs I actually expected to be solved by now. Together with the distance rendering and falling through the world bugs these are my most frequent and annoying bugs atm.

Personally it has happened to me twice, once in beta and again the other night, so I don't find it annoying and a quick redeploy always solves it.

I use to get this all of the time, but stopped a few patches ago I think.

The falling through the world bug happened to me many times as an NC in Indar's warp gate, spawning a vanguard. It hasn't happened in any TR warp gate so far. Maybe it's a coincidence or maybe that warp gate is cursed.

Actually, come to think of it, Indar is the only continent that I have fallen through the world, be it in a vehicle or spawning under a sunderer. It hasn't happened on other continents that I can remember.

I still get it once every 2 or 3 days.

I find it annoying.

I have experienced both falling through the world, and the flashing bug, but not very often. It's still annoying ad all hell though.

Yeah it happened to me twice yesterday, after not seeing it for about a week. It's definitely NOT fixed.

Re: The ever-irritating game flashing bug, when will it ever be solved?


There are a few bugs that annoy the crap out of me cause I seem to get at least one every play session.

The blinking world.
Frame rate drops to to a near freeze, recovers and world starts to blink.

Falling through the world.
The vanny off the pad is king among them, but there's quite a few rocks and buildings on Amerish that don't quite connect with the ground.

Rendering distance in crowded areas.
Getting shot by invisible people is not my idea of fun. Or thinking you found a way to flank the enemy, but 10 meters into that room, the 15 enemy occupants finally renders and insta-gib you.

Fisrt rocket is a dud.
Every now and then, the first HA rocket doesn't register any damage. It explodes, right on target in the rear of that magrider, or in the face of an enemy max, yet no damage confirmation. Seems to be more frequent when the local area is getting crowded.

Loss of iron sights.
On seemingly random occasions, the sights disappear on the standard NC HA AV weapon (shrike). It shoulders sort of 3/4 of the the way, then stops at a slant and just zooms in with no sights or reticule to guide you. It also seems the aim is slightly below the center of the screen as well.
Switching to the primary weapon and ADS on that resolves the issue, but it's not always you have time for that.

My pet peeves, reported several times as well.

Lol, that's also an extremely annoying bug that happened to me a few times. Quit the rage quitter for sure, when you've just invested tons of certs to improve these jets.

There are a lot of rocks that have nice open slits that people still get stuck in and/or fall through the world.

There are also buildings edges that form a pit against the terrain that people can get stuck in as well. Strangely, the last time this happened, my character started to wig out as I tried to jump my way out and I ended up getting dying.
