Please report any graphical, sound or gameplay bugs in this thread.  

One bug per post please, it will help us keep organized.  

Exploits should be reported privately to leader@40ksource.com to prevent further proliferation.  

Griefers should be reported to you server operator.

Please read the whole thread before posting, someone else may have already reported the same issue.  Reports should include a brief description of the issue, the steps to re-create it and screenshots or logs as appropriate. 
As this is a open Beta, there will be issues and with your help we can log them, fix them and make the game better.

The "Burning Bug" is a known issue with the EX Beta where the player starts hearing a crackling burning sound all the time.

There is no known set of steps to reproduce this issue.  If you find a sequence to reproduce this bug please let me know.

Remedy : restarting the server or changing the map has been known to fix this issue.

Note: Appears to be a client-side bug, not all players hear it.  The Carnifex scream attack seemed to shift the origin to where the last attack came from.

The "ALT-TAB HUD bug" is a known issue with the EX Beta where the player uses ALT-TAB to switch focus to another application, when the player switches back to EX the HUD elements are misaligned or unmasked.

Remedy : Changing map or reconnecting to the server will force the HUD to reset.

Workaround : When multi-tasking run EX in windowed mode, this only seems to happen when playing full screen.

The "Dancing Lictor Bug" effects the ragdolls of Lictor class tyranids, causing them to wriggle, bounce, jitter and jive.  Easily reproduced by using physics (grenades) to interace with the lictor ragdoll.  
++ Fixed in 6.20 by completely rebuilding the ragdoll and re-animatng the lictor ++

I guess this really isn't a bug but It might qualify.

The bolter, not heavy bolter just the regular. If you hold you're reload button and first mouse button its kinda wierd, can't really explain.

+++ For me this fires 1 shot then does a reload then repeats, this is what I would expect.  Are you seeing something different? +++

source sdk base bug.

I think this bug is when you don't have source sdk base installed, then you install it to play the game, it says you're playing source sdk base in the steam friends or steam chat. Not Exterminatus

Graphical Bug:

This isn't a major issue, but during a game on thunderhawk me and some other tactical marines were on top of the building right in front of the thunderhawk.  The whole right side of a heavy marine was black, and it was very strange looking.  I don't know how it happened but I have only seen it once.

The Walking Warrior bug. I was playing as a warrior and decided to hit the walk key (alt). My warrior slowed to a walk speed even after I let go of the walk button.

Workaround: Pressing ALT again does nothing, but sprinting fixes the problem.
Resolution: This was fixed in the 5.01 patch.

BUG: Not enough spawn points on huge servers results in people spawning out of the objective markers.

+++ Could be map and objective specific, do we know which maps and which objectives? +++

Its any map when theres more people spawning than there are spawn points, def. digsite, thunderhawk, hive as thats where i saw it happening.

The zoom bug
Pressing the zoom key after dying enables zoom and keeps it until pressing it again.
Resolution: This was fixed in 5.02

Blobby crosshair bug.  In low texture mode the graphical crosshairs become difficult to use.

from Stick1000 on moddb.

suggested fix: write procedural crosshairs to replace the bitmap graphics or just don't mimpmap the crosshairs.

Resolution: Removed mipmapping from the HUD graphics in 5.02

BUG: Hive's final control point for the tyranids frequently breaks meaning they cannot cap the last part of it. It appears to be that the map is not ending on cap without the death of the entire other team, thus allow re-capping of objectives.

SUG: have the two final objectives lock out all others when there capped.

Resolution: Make the final objective insta-win, rather than just capping the marines last objective.  In 5.02[/url]

BUG: Carnifex cannot get past crates next to 2nd marine spawn on spacehulk
SUG: move crates.

When I started playing on a heavily populated server i found my ping to be quite high and lagging alot, found out my rate was set too low so i upped it and now problem sovled. also i found sometimes hl2 crashes during map switch but its no probs reloading game and reconnecting. but there may be a connection problem however i dont know if its server side or not.

map geometry, some tyranid classes cannot fit through some doorways or have to crouch down e.t.c just wondering if this has already been addressed.

otherwise awesome mod, definantly in my top 5 i'll keep posting anything i notice.

Sound bugs

no matter how far away team mates or enemies are you can hear the attack from anywhere on the battlefield as if they are right next to you. kinda gives away a potential rush attack..

BUG: Thunderhawk - Tyranids are able to respawn continually after the final objective is captured.
Workaround: delete the SourceMods/EX/maps/soundcacheWorkaround: delete the SourceMods/EX/maps/soundcache/ folder (please PM me with confirmation this works)/ folder (please PM me with confirmation this works)
BUG: Digsite has crippiling graphical lag now in the tyranid spawn area due to the new area being added.

+++ Fixed in 5.04 +++

BUG: Thunderhawk - Marines are spawning in the spawn of the tyranids after pushing the button next to the hawk

BUG: Thunderhawk - If you climb the green boxes next to the fences (entrence to the inner map as a marine), u can fall behind them and get stucked. There is no way out any more.

BUG: Switching to the desktop during a game moves your hud and your x-hair to the left side of the screen. But not everytime :S (Windows 7)

Windows 7: After starting the game or during a mapchange the sound is turned low every time. You have to switch it manually.


++ One bug per post please ++
++ Exploits should be reported by email ++
++ Sounds like a duplicate of the "ALT-TAB Hud bug" (http://www.40ksource.com/common/smf/index.php?topic=832.msg5386#msg5386).  Please read the thread for solutions before posting. ++

SUG: Spacehulk requires alternate routes thorugh the 2 final tyranid objectives (one for myself)

Missing textures have been reported in Lycantium as of beta 5.02.  I suspect a problem with the self extracting installer.

+++ Fixed in 5.03 +++

BUG: A fex trying to enter the marine base camp in spacehulk results in server wide lag if the marines are still defending the generator.

The "Porngun" bug

3rd person melta heat effect shows a lot of red big "X" instead of the normal FX in 5.03

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l320/typheron/RS2-Exterminus/Testing/AlltheRED.jpg

+++ Fixed in 5.04 +++

bug: veteran chainsword combo has incorrect world model ( chainsword is small and hes holding it like a knife downwards, while he holds the plasma pistol by the muzzle. seems to be missing textures also )

*TYPH Edit* See here:

http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l320/typheron/RS2-Exterminus/Testing/ex_digsite0001.jpg

+++ Fixed in 5.04 +++

BUG: plasma sword combo still a bit buggy. while the pistol and sword are in place (and no textue miss on the world model) the chainsword is still undersized and small.

Unable to spawn after changing map to ex_thunderhawk or ex_spacehulk. Affects any map that does not specify an initial objective for the teams in ex_gameplay.

+++ Fixed in 5.041 - Only the server needs to install this patch (http://www.40ksource.com/files/ex_beta_server_patch_5.041.zip) +++

BUG/SUG: The switch to open the door to the marine spawn on Digsite is not totally clear (due to it being in slight shadow inside the door). Stick a light above it to make it clear what it is.

Had a player trying to blow the door open cos he could not find the switch today.
++ Fixed in 5.5 ++

Capless Carnifex Bug:

Carnifexes cannot USE anything (eg  capture buttons) unless they are crouched, due to their collision boxes being larger than the range being checked by the USE command.

+++Fixed in 5.05+++

The ERRORNAME bug

When a player disconnects we see a white kill message for ERRORNAME

+++Fixed in 5.05+++

BUG: Team switch cannot be closed without selecting a team.  Pressing the team switch key displays options 1, 2, 3, and ESC.  ESC is supposed to cancel, but it only goes to the menus.  One can close the menu by selecting the team they are on.  This also closes option 3 (Learn about the teams), which is otherwise not closable.

++ Fixed in 5.5 ++

Infinite loop interface bug.

In team selection, to cancel selecting a team, press esc.
If you press esc, the general valve menu show up.
If you get rid of that, you're still in the team selection window.

So basically you can't change your mind regarding changing team.
I lost a carnifex over that one.

++Fixed in 5.5++

BUG: Chose Carnifex in Lycantium.
Then I guess I spawned inside a wall at the outpost. Couldn't move at all, I guess the marines who were running all over the place couldn't see me, since they didn't try to shoot me.
Trying to walk, sprint and attack activated the sound effects, but no visible effects.
Tried "changing team" staying tyranid, but this didn't help.
Had to change to SM to fix the problem.

I got a screenshot, comming up when I find somewhere online to drop it.

++ This sort of things usually result from the server having more players than there are spawn points.   The standard maps are only built to support 8 players per team. ++

bug: if you left + right click together you hit slower and shoot faster as normal

+++ Is this with all weapons or a specific one? +++

bug: Marines occasionally spawn as Tyranid Warriors. Happened three times in about 3 hours of playing with 10-20 people. The Warrior still counts as a Space Marine, and can attack Tyranid. Possibly a failed attempt at auto-balance, some people seemed to have seen it before but I didn't see it on the forums.

Since Beta 5.5 the marine Knife doesn't play it's first person attack animation when it hits.
++ Fixed In Alpha 5.93 ++

Kill notices do not appear in the second or successive game.

+++ Unable to reproduce this bug under test conditions.  If you have more information about this bug please send me a PM.  Current theory is some combination of CozWorld plug-ins are swallowing the death messages. +++

For the Veteran Class if your Plasmapistol is emty you cannot switch back to melee / pistol
++ Fixed In Alpha 5.93 ++

When zooming the view model appears to be flipped to the top-left, this is most obvious with the knife

+++ Fixed in Alpha 6.11 ++

How Chrome, did you fix the yellow shadows on the new version of Dig site yet?

+++ Digsite uses an ambient light setting to specify the brightness and color of the darkest lighting in the map, the yellow shadows were produced by setting the ambient light to a yellow hue to match t he sky light, changing it to a blue hue made them look more naturally shadow like. +++

In version 6.09 I notice on the map Ichar IV that the gate in the warehouse dont open, when the tyranids capture this point. I mean the gate in direction of the tyranid spawnzone.

++Fixed in alpha 7.53++

Found at least two bugs while playing Alpha 6.32 today. The  Lictor clips with glass and the Termi has an inaccurate ammo counter. Might need to view the pictures full size.

BUG: there is a stuck spot in the spawn point for the nids in ex_ichar, its between the spore pod and the cavern wall in front of it, a genestealer can easily get stuck down there and cannot jump out due to the walls.

++Fixed in Alpha 7.53++

Oolon reports looping sounds when charging the plasmagun and leaving zoom.

++Fixed in Alpha 7.53++

Dances with Plasmaguns reports the BP & CS combo has no reload sound.

++Fixed in Alpha 7.53++

Flamer and Melta gun particle systems stay on if they are active when the player dies.
