Issues unresolved

For an up-to-date list of unresolved issues, see the official "Known Issues" list or the unofficial bug list.

Unless otherwise noted, there are currently no known fixes or workarounds for these issues.^[2]^[3]

General instability

Third-party overlays, API hooks, or graphics mods, such as the TeamSpeak overlay, FRAPS, or DSFix, can cause the game to become unstable.

Instructions

Graphical issues with Intel HD integrated GPUs

Not all Intel HD integrated GPUs cause graphical issues in-game. The only way to know if yours will is by playing the game.

Startup issues

White Screen of Death when starting game

Instructions

Instructions

Game never starts

This is a common issue for uses of the AVAST anti-virus software.

Instructions

Instructions

Game freezes on main menu

This is due to a Steam-related function not receiving a response within a certain timeframe.

Commonly occurs on unstable connections; rarely happens randomly.

Instructions

Netcode issues

Desynchronization (de-sync)

Work is ongoing to improve netcode and reduce or eliminate de-syncs.^[4]^[3]

Item synchronization issues

Items such as ammo boxes which are dropped by players cannot be picked up by other players.

Lag causes drop pods to kill players inside them

Gameplay issues

Corpse animations bugged

Rank and specialty stats don't stack

Game crashes when two people attempt to loot the same item

This issue has mainly been reported with shotgun shell ammunition types.

Turrets cannot activate when objects placed near them

Creeps ignore a bunker's beacon

LAW targeting reticle does not change based on weapon's current area of effect

When the LAW's area of effect (AOE) is increased through upgrading your character's weapons skills, the targeting reticle does not reflect the weapon's increased AOE.

GAR-GL requires grenade mod to add ammo

Autofire affects weapons which should not support it

Weapons which should not support autofire include the LAW, grenade launcher, and shotgun.

Graphical issues

Particles sometimes show as white triangles or cones

Camera issues when zooming out
