Has anyone noticed new door bugs?

Man this really pisses me off. I thought we were past this stage. Yet again the doorbug is back, in a slightly different form. If you try to open an automatic door it wont work for atleast 5 seconds. Thus forcing you to wait in plain view for the door to open. As an example today on hossin I captured the chac llu and started running for the backdoor. I made it to the stairwell and was hoping to blast through past the stunned guys in there. Yet I surge up to the door and.... hit my head... bounce.... bounce.... bounce off the door and then the guy with the supressor kills me....

Yep, and it sometimes happens after hacking a door. Pull out REK, hack the door, switch to a rifle, and...sit there...walking into the door...sitting there...and...oh it finally opened!

Yeah I really hate that.

Lol yesterday it's almost like they implimented some sort of security system for the cc. Me and some other people ahcked a cc, then when some of us tried to leave the cc room, both doors wouldn't open! So we where stuck in there for awhile until they finally opened.

Try not to rush into the door right after the hack (like 1 sec or so after hack), that seems to work. I think it's lag, but who knows...

It's has more to do then just with hacking a base... it happens at towers and CC's pre-hack.

i assume they will fix it quickly cause it happens more then the "cant hack door bug".

In my experience it will happen at all doors. No matter their proximity to the CC.

Haven't had a stuck door in weeks now. I think what you're experiencing is called "lag".

Smaug · 2003-08-17, 03:09 AM

Its curious because then this "lag" thing should have been happening before the recent patch. Interestingly enough it isn't.

I also notice it even when I have an 80 ping and less than 1% packet loss.

Usually when it happens it is when there is a lot of activity going on around you. I find the doors to get down to the vehicle facilities in the Tech Labs do this a lot and I found that running down the middle makes them open more redily for some reason. Not sure if this is true or not but you can try it if you want.

As for hacking of a door not working... It almost seems like they have an IFF timer. I couldn't get in one side of the tower so I went to the other side and it worked right away. Not sure that's a bug.
