really nice, I want to try that dreadnought bug, does it work in MP games?

I do hope Stardock will fix those bugs soon.

It does work in mutiplayer games.

I just did a few other checks. It works for any unit irrespective of the hotkey number. Here is a nexus building a brute (hotkey E)

I was trying to reproduce the bug i mentioned where my nexus will sometimes deselect itself. I managed to do it once tonight, but i couldn't reproduce it in an ongoing manner.

But, while trying to do it i came across another delesection bug. (i know that this is not the cause of the one i was looking for, as i never select anything else as hotkey 0)

Hotkey Deletion Bug

This one isn't that bad, as its mainly caused by the earlier bug i mentioned. "Hotkey Icons Remain after reusing hotkey". And if you fix that, you fix this bug.

Steps:

- Select units (brutes). Hotkey them as number 4.

- Select something else. (factory) Hotkey that as number 4.

- The brutes are still shown as 4. even though if i press 4, it gives me the factory.

The screenshot shows that both are 4. But the UI has 4 listed as factory by the icon top left.

Bug:  So when the brutes die, your code obviously deselects all hotkey 4 units as they are now dead... which is wrong.

A variation of the wrong building bug. An engineer out of a armory.   I believe I ordered an engineer from the nexus and then went to build the armory right away and the enginner was there in the armory queue and not in the nexus' one. I suppose it has something to do with that latency I mentioned in an another trhead. There is a delay before a click actually clicks in. That was a MP game and lag might increase that latency but the latency is there also in SP games.

Okay i'm now up to 25 mins of waiting while it tries to find a player for me to be ranked against So i'll post a few more bugs.

Aircraft stop bug. 

This has been mentioned before. Pressing stop. Or mass spam clicking forces it to stop and shoot. Makes it very abusive for attacking the enemies income. A single unit should not be able to effectively kill everything by itself.

Flying Enemies

The enemy kept lifting off and flying upwards. After it disappeared. Another one would do it. 

Double Building - Part A

Select a scv. Shift click build onto it. (mainly just to give yourself time) Then build with a different one. Shows both buildings.

Double Building - Part B

If two units were ordered to build the same thing. (ie you shift clicked the first). When the 2nd one turns up. It will just stop and not go onto any further orders even if it had other orders queued.

Expected result. It should arrive, realize that the job is done, and move to next item in its queue list. 

This is annoying as you dont want to give the first scv new orders if you told it to do lots of stuff. But then a new scv pops out and you decide to build whatever it is faster... you can't without causing a headache of issues.

Alt tabbing

Go into rankings. Select a display option. ALt tab. Alt tab back in. And the screen is messed up.

Unable to capture waypoints 1

Enemy unit got caught in the ground. Impossible to kill. Stopped me from capturing the turinium thingy. Sucks, considering the other one is across the other side of the entire map.

Unable to capture waypoints 2

Been shown before. But another way point unable to be captured. (if you are really observant, you'll notice the screenshot above was the same game, and i ended up capturing this waypoint. It just took about 6 minutes of moving away. Moving back. Moving away. Moving back. before it finally triggered.

Its fine in a normal game, but if its a close match vs someone. This is not what you want to be doing.

Just hit 45 min mark of waiting.

Spending qanta - Easy to misclick 

This isn't really a bug, but its not good UI design when you can waste precious qanta by accident so easily.

Having spells on the same hotkey is wrong.

Spending qanta - UI Deselection bug

This is similar to the above, as well as the truly awful UI deselection upon unit death bug.

Since the UI will change the area that you are expecting to be in, it can be quite easy to spend qanta on things you were not intending. I've had a  lot of accidental Engineer warp ins and accidental scans with no intention of actually doing that. But the UI is just fighting against you while you are playing.

Wrong Building highlight / display

A ) Somehow i managed to get up the wrong race's building highlight.

B ) And it wasn't even over the top of the node.

KOTH scenario. Wrong starting position.

Not sure how this is even possible... Somehow my starting location was bottom right as you can see in the minimap. Default start point is just above/right of that selected factory.

Sync Bug again

I had the sync bug again. Scv was boosted and it completed. and was just sitting in the nexus. Then suddenly it teleported to where it's rally point had been set. And it had half completed taking over the node.

On this occasion it cleared up after about 2 minutes. I wasn't too far behind fortunately.

Medics have an unhealthy obsession with sensor towers.

Not sure if this is a bug. Do medics give towers extra range when they do this??? I never bothered testing to see.

But if you have a group of units moving paste a sensor towers. Medics just love to go and start healing it even though its healthy. 

Thats all for now.

Just hit the 63 minute mark of waiting for a ranked match. Time to go do something else.

Cheers for the info Ticktoc. I suspected as much. 

I didn't mind, i've been meaning to post some more bugs in this thread for a while. The wait gave me a reason to do it

Way point bug

If you shift click a unit, then try and build on top of that clicked spot.  You can't build. 

Shift click building

If you have a different scv ordered to build on the spot. your 2nd scv can build on it, but if you shift click build on it (you can see i built top left, then try and build on it) It fails about 50%??? of the time.

Flying 'Stop' bug.

This is more of a rant. About a prior mentioned bug.

Played a top level player. He was dying, and he built 3 planes. Which took out the nexus within 20 seconds with the 'stop' attack bug usage. I even had anti air there on patrol.

Only 1 plane died. Those planes should not be able to do that much damage to a nexus. Particularly when you can attack from any direction and instantly stop in their tracks not fly around like they are meant to.

Oh well i'm still new to this game. I'll know for next time. 

Update: On another note. I'm fairly certain that 3 dreadnoughts wouldn't even be able to kill it as quickly as 3 planes. I'm going to test that theory.

Multi Building Cancellation Bug

If you have multiple buildings selected. ANd you run out of resources and want to pause/ cancel everything.

AND i select multiple factories to cancel. I would expect that it would either 

A) cancel all of them in one go.

cancel them one at a time, so if i had 4 facts, i could click it 4 times and all would be cancelled.

Instead;

It cancels 1. And removes the option to cancel any others. I presume because the first is the primary and your logic only checks that.

Faster Speed Bug

I worked out why the speed is messed up. Node capture remains static and is not modified by the game speed at all.

Here you can see i start capture at 15 seconds. I should finish at 35 seconds on normal speed.

Turning the speed up to max, changes nothing. Just creeps turn up and stop you from capturing it. 

Minor Graphics Issue from pausing

Pause. Unpause.

Minor graphics from spamming buttons

Spam shift qwe. After doing it, it remains for the entire game.

I presume they read their own forums.

I'm not going to make a ticket for each bug. I've already spent enough hours making all of these posts. I made one ticket, and linked this forum thread to it.

Ticket ID #IIX-284-39233

To be honest, i've got another 10 or so bugs that i've come across.

- A number to do with having multiple buildings on hotkeys and cancelling/pausing/ running out of minerals and repeat stopping etc.

- Destroying buildings and pressing Q (the building goes to die, and it switches your focus to the nexus - hence pressing Q builds an SCV - i had 15 scvs lined up.), then it glitches out and no scv is being built

- Terrain (visual only) changing due to dreadnought building. Can make the map look super weird.

- Also a few other graphic glitches. I can't be bothered posting those.

Fairly sure i've come across a hacker in multiplayer in the last week as well 30k qanta after 1 minute. I think i'm going to stop playing for a week and see if i can be bothered to keep going.

Is that a bug? All those things you describe could potentially be ascribed to lag. The ranked games our global so you could be playing some with a poor connection in Brazil or China etc. I am not saying it couldn't be handled better, especially the start, but I think it is a very real possibility they really could all be from lag and dropped packages. (referring just to post above).

Dropped packets would account for the map not updating. I wonder if for ranked played both players play off a central Steam server somewhere or if it allocates one person's computer to act as the host, like with custom games. If the latter then that could explain why one person could have much better performance over the other.
