BT411 -- ALL OPEN TRACKER ISSUES (93), SORTED FOR PLAYTESTERS
|
|
Updated 2026-08-10 -- regenerated from the tracker before each playtest;
|
|
grab the newest copy from Discord (or docs/ in the repo)
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
HOW TO REPORT: drop a line in Discord with the issue number and PASS /
|
|
FAIL / what you saw. Screenshots and rough times help; logs get collected
|
|
as usual.

|
|
A. FIXED -- PLEASE VERIFY
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#18 Engineering aux buttons crashed the game (glass windows)
|
|
TEST: click every Engineering panel button, incl. the aux row. No crash.
|
|
#20 Auto cooling BALANCE did nothing
|
|
TEST: ADV control mode, press BALANCE -- coolant redistributes.
|
|
#22 Ammo + destroyed weapons did not reset on respawn
|
|
TEST: die with empty bins / dead weapons -> respawn full and repaired.
|
|
#25 Gamepad turn profile (stick X could not turn the mech)
|
|
TEST: bind an axis to "Turn" in content\bindings.txt -- mech turns.
|
|
#27 Autocannon/Gauss dealt the wrong damage type
|
|
TEST: ballistics should feel/score like solid shot now (no blast splash).
|
|
#32 Audio cutting in/out late in the match
|
|
TEST: long drop -- audio should stay clean to the end.
|
|
#35 Owens crashed when firing lasers (Conn Man x2, long ago)
|
|
TEST: Conn Man -- Owens, spam lasers. Believed fixed for a while.
|
|
#36 Turning continued after releasing the pad/rudder axis
|
|
TEST: RajelAran -- release/center the turn axis, turning stops.
|
|
#38 Mech colors reverted on respawn
|
|
TEST: custom paint, die, respawn -- colors stay.
|
|
#39 Controls were live before the game screen appeared
|
|
TEST: mash fire during load -- nothing happens until the scene shows.
|
|
#40 Waiting/join screen burned 45-50% GPU
|
|
TEST: GPU near idle while waiting in the join screen.
|
|
#41 (David/Auric) launcher killed before it could run -- forensics armed
|
|
TEST: if join.bat ever fails again, send content\lastrun_join.txt --
|
|
it now records the exit code that names the killer.
|
|
#43 Comm display: pilot list with KILLS/DEATHS
|
|
TEST: all pilots listed, kills/deaths update through the round.
|
|
#47 Jam / ammo-bay-fire annunciation
|
|
TEST: bay fire alarm looks OK now. Still watching: does the ENG page
|
|
button FLASH on a weapon JAM? (run ballistics hot to force jams)
|
|
#48 Secondary/Comm MFD artifacting (stray blocks)
|
|
TEST: if you see artifacts, say so -- the log now self-reports the
|
|
culprit automatically.
|
|
#50 All MFDs unclickable for a round (SAURON) } same fix --
|
|
#56 MFD buttons drift away from where they are drawn } verify together
|
|
TEST: alt-tab / focus changes mid-round, then click MFD buttons --
|
|
they must stay aligned with the graphics.
|
|
#51 Coolant flush sound looped forever
|
|
TEST: flush coolant -- the sound ends when the flush ends.
|
|
#53 Generators could not be switched OFF
|
|
TEST: ENG page -- toggle each generator off and back on.
|
|
#54 (David) all three energy weapons died for a whole round
|
|
TEST: after your first death, weapons must still recharge normally
|
|
for the rest of the round.
|
|
#58 Reticle callsign plate drew as a solid rectangle
|
|
TEST: target names under the reticle render as text on every map.
|
|
#59 First death permanently froze parts of that player's simulation
|
|
TEST: nothing specific -- covered by normal play after dying.
|
|
#61 Searchlight toggle was dead
|
|
TEST: searchlight button toggles + lamp tracks. (The visible beam and
|
|
night-fog change are separate, still to come -- #123.)
|
|
#62 Weapon knocked off the power bus stayed dark forever
|
|
TEST: fiddle bus/generator selection on the ENG page -- weapons
|
|
reconnect on their own (AUTO) instead of staying dead.
|
|
#69 "Sunder V1" renamed to DENKOU
|
|
TEST: vehicle picker shows Denkou -- era witnesses, confirm the spelling.
|
|
#70 (Draco) torso twist lost after a death/respawn
|
|
TEST: die, respawn, twist. Fixed a while ago but never field-confirmed.
|
|
#71 Closing the Plasma window lost it until restart
|
|
TEST: X the plasma window -- it minimizes to the taskbar; click restores.
|
|
#93 Crash at end of round
|
|
TEST: play rounds to their natural end -- report ANY teardown crash.
|
|
#114 Missile impact smoke was a wall
|
|
TEST: LRM exchanges -- smoke is present but no longer a smoke screen.
|
|
#131 Reticle showed LOCK off-target / no-reg on target
|
|
TEST: stationary targets -- lock ring matches where the reticle is.
|
|
#137 Respawned with myomers heat MAXED (mech frozen at spawn)
|
|
TEST: respawn repeatedly -- heat always starts normal. Oracle already
|
|
confirmed one clean session; more eyes welcome, this one eluded us.
|
|
#138 Glass buttons flashed at the wrong rate unless a window was dragged
|
|
TEST: leave the MFD windows unfocused -- lamps flash at the real rate.
|
|
#149 Glass cockpit stutter / hitching
|
|
TEST: glass mode -- mission load and play feel smooth again.
|
|
(Repaints now skip windows whose gauges did not change.)
|
|
#150 Double kill credit (one kill counted twice)
|
|
TEST: kill someone with a missile volley -- scoreboard +1, not +2.
|
|
#146 Respawned already running (virtual throttle survived death)
|
|
TEST: respawn -- throttle idle until YOU move it; a physical throttle
|
|
re-syncs on first movement. Oracle confirmed the mechanic; keep watching.
|
|
#147 Range caret vanished for the session (ticks stayed)
|
|
TEST: nobody has re-created it. If it happens the log now catches the
|
|
culprit red-handed ("NaN TRAPPED") -- just report that you saw it.
|
|
#152 Torso auto-recentre / CENTER button
|
|
TEST: CENTER (pod button / F7) recentres the torso in every control
|
|
mode, on glass and RIO rigs too. (Era question below still open.)
|
|
#158 (Sauron) could not move after respawn until throttle cycled
|
|
TEST when it happens: does cycling the throttle free you?
|
|
YES -> it is the #146 throttle-release mechanic (expected).
|
|
NO -> report map + where you spawned (suspect: spawn-in geometry).
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
B. OPEN -- HELP US REPRODUCE / NARROW (what to note when it happens)
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#24 Controller hat/look view sticks (recovers after wiggling now)
|
|
NOTE: which controller, which direction, does wiggling clear it.
|
|
#37 Mech torso appears BACKWARDS to other players (transient)
|
|
NOTE: whose mech, and does it snap back -- watch peers, any chassis.
|
|
#74 8BitDo gamepad works solo, dead in Steam MP
|
|
NOTE: VexUbiquity -- does it still happen, and in LAN vs Steam?
|
|
#100 Main coolant reservoir drains with NO leak shown anywhere
|
|
NOTE: what you were doing; screenshot the ENG page when you catch it.
|
|
#101 Round ended with 18 s still on the clock
|
|
NOTE: exact clock value + which drop; has not repeated since.
|
|
#102 Owens: full-throttle run -> hold reverse = animation/audio hang
|
|
REPRO known (exterior cam, savannah). Does it still happen? It
|
|
self-clears on a torso twist.
|
|
#122 Throttle: normal-vs-seek-4 speeds crammed into last sliver of travel
|
|
NOTE: which mech; era witnesses -- how did the pod lever feel?
|
|
#125 Peers do not see the FIRST destroyed-zone graphic (2nd hit shows it)
|
|
NOTE: victim + observer both report; paper doll vs external view.
|
|
#126 Peer weapon fire invisible AND silent from some positions
|
|
NOTE: positions of shooter/observer; moving fixes it.
|
|
#128 Ramming terrain = INSTANT coolant leak (4 for 4 that night)
|
|
NOTE: still 100%? speed at impact; which terrain.
|
|
#130 Vulture "skating" (gliding without walk animation) in a 6-player session
|
|
NOTE: a gait-replication fix landed since -- watch for any recurrence.
|
|
#132 (Conn Man) persistent yellow line on the HUD in every mech
|
|
NOTE: still there? screenshot + monitor resolution/aspect.
|
|
#135 Coolant leak with NO flashing annunciators (+ gen buttons not
|
|
flashing on leak, seen in glass too)
|
|
NOTE: glass or normal mode, which annunciators stayed dark.
|
|
#136 A SHUT leaking loop starts/stops leaking with COMPONENT toggles
|
|
NOTE: exact toggle order if you can reproduce.
|
|
#139 (Oracle, once) silent exit between "lobby up" and the room screen
|
|
NOTE: if hosting dies silently again, say so and we pull the log.
|
|
#143 One panel hit -> smoke erupts from MULTIPLE places at once
|
|
NOTE: which panel was hit (sensor special seen); screenshot.
|
|
#153 Basic-mode elevation limit only applies after cycling modes
|
|
Confirmed from the report; fix pending. No action needed.
|
|
#154 Overheated generator never came back online + no gen-out alarm on
|
|
thermal trip
|
|
NOTE: Oracle saw one stuck-forever gen, later trips recovered --
|
|
anyone else? How long did you wait?
|
|
#155 PANIC lamp lit: ENG + WEAPON MFD buttons stop responding
|
|
(The rapid flicker itself is AUTHENTIC -- see section D.)
|
|
NOTE: while panic is lit, which MFDs answer clicks and which do not.
|
|
#159 (Conn Man) lag during drops -- missiles / fire exploding in empty space
|
|
NOTE: shooter + target + rough time; the match receipts on both
|
|
machines can then measure the divergence directly.
|
|
|

C. QUESTIONS FOR THE ERA WITNESSES (Oracle / VGL Lynx / Ronin / Draco)
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#103 Should a mech-to-mech RAM damage ARMOR, or internals only?
|
|
(Binary does internals-only rattle -- want a player ruling.)
|
|
#104 Mad Dog showing NARC 15 where an LRM is expected -- Ronin suspects
|
|
NARC was never implemented in 1995. Anyone remember it firing?
|
|
#105 Sensor DAMAGE effects: what exactly happened on-screen? (HUD flicker,
|
|
radar degradation, searchlight?) Video/timestamps welcome.
|
|
#120 Coolant FLUSH: to the line, or all the way to EMPTY? (Two era
|
|
witnesses say empty; our port stops at the line.)
|
|
#127 Weapon MFD EJECT graphic -- need a reference image/description.
|
|
#133 Did generators X-out on the MFD when SHUT DOWN / OVERHEATED, or
|
|
only when DESTROYED?
|
|
ALSO (#152 rider): in the pod, did the torso auto-recentre in Mid/Adv
|
|
modes, or only Basic? Sauron's "fought my control" suggests only Basic.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
D. SETTLED AS AUTHENTIC / DESIGN CALLS -- group opinions wanted
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#151 Panic eject costs -499 (not 0). This is the REAL 1995 scoring, verified
|
|
to the exact point value: ejecting scores your own death as a suicide
|
|
(you lose your kill-value) PLUS the death penalty. DESIGN CALL:
|
|
keep authentic, or house-rule a flat eject cost?
|
|
#119 Coolant-warning voice "clipping" at empty reservoir = authentic
|
|
(every leak-status edge restarts the phrase; the pod did this too).
|
|
#155 (flicker half) PANIC lamp rapid flicker at the failure edge =
|
|
authentic; the pod's incandescent bulbs visually smoothed it.
|
|
#23 MFDs overlapping the world view = pod-faithful design (real monitors
|
|
clipped the eyeport). Revisit sizing/tunability?
|
|
#77 Make the Secondary/Radar window resizable (SAURON's iPad-as-4th-
|
|
monitor experiment). Enhancement -- want it?
|
|
#157 "Crash at drop end" (Conn Man) = NOT a crash. Full forensics on the
|
|
ticket: every machine that night shows clean drops, and the round-end
|
|
exit-to-menu is the arcade's normal between-rounds flow. The separate
|
|
lag / "missiles hit empty space" report is now #159.
|
|
IMPROVED: the between-rounds menu should now land IN FRONT at round
|
|
end (say so if it still hides), and the console sign-off no longer
|
|
cries wolf on normal exits.
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
E. KNOWN GAPS -- confirmed and on the list, no need to re-report
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#49 Radar/map does not draw the arena WALL geometry
|
|
#76 Glass layout save/restore being reworked (some windows not saved)
|
|
#83 INCOMING MISSILE alarm not implemented yet
|
|
#90 Flames/smoke from serious damage: less than the original (tuning)
|
|
#111 Peers see a dying mech's blue warp bubble (should see explosion only)
|
|
#112 AFC rounds shotgun across zones (should land as one projectile)
|
|
#113 LRM burn/hit state lasts too long
|
|
#115 Hot box / target select not connected
|
|
#121 Sensor HEAT has no consequences yet
|
|
#123 Searchlight: the visible LIGHT + night-fog swap still to come
|
|
#145 IR "predator vision": decode done, display not implemented
|
|
#156 Fade-to-black at mission end not happening
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
F. INTERNAL ENGINEERING BACKLOG (listed for completeness -- nothing to test)
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
#14 Glass panel unreconstructed button handler backlog (census)
|
|
#17 Cavern upper-butte halves lack a collision stream (authenticity TBD)
|
|
#21 Weapon recharge arc dark after eng-page use (symptom trail -> #62)
|
|
#28 Confirm the vital-subsystem-crit death path can fire (machinery in)
|
|
#30 Weapon "unavailable" (level-7) display verification + accessor cleanup
|
|
#63 PlayerStatus reads raw 1995 offsets (databinding trap, dormant)
|
|
#64 damageZone shadow field (half-fixed; consequences disarmed)
|
|
#65 HandleMessage non-virtual across 10 classes (latent dispatch trap)
|
|
#66 joyconfig.bat wizard re-run claim -- people use it fine; likely closing
|
|
#72 BTLoadPump swallows WM_QUIT during load (latent)
|
|
#107 Destroyed HeatSink annunciates nothing (no lamp for condition 0)
|
|
#117 KB note: per-chassis cockpit bounce was deliberate (Ronin) -- FYI
|
|
