Summary of all connection bugs

[Dreepa]

Feel free to add your experiences. In the last 4 hours of playing RUSE I actually spend like 1 hour trying. Over the last days I was so frustrated at this game, it is unbelievable. Every second game has connection bugs either inside the lobby or after loading. The lobby jumping is incredible annoying. People in, out, in out.... connecting, cancel, conncting, cancel etc etc... No wonder that such behavior triggers bugs (add pings to lobby ffs).
It is really terrible and very frustrating to get a good game up and running (especially with 8 players).

I have NO firewall, NO router, no windows security app etc. I use PPPoE via modem directly. The system is just 2 weeks old.


What I ve seen so far:

1: Ghost
A player enters the game. The slot turns grey, and stays that way. The player might already have left again, but the slot doesnt open again. Player cannot be kicked. Some people see the Ghost, some dont.

2: "Ruse encounters problems with the folloing players" message after a normal start, counting down from 20 to 0. All players had perfect pings in lobby. This even happens in constellations that could play fine just a moment before.

3: Forced Surrender: Directly after loading one player surrenders (but he didnt actually press the button, it just happens on its own). The player can still chat.

4: Freezing the game: One player drops during the game (at any point, can be after 30 minuts) and then the game stops. People can still chat, and you can still navigate, but the gametick is frozen.

5: Loading screen doesnt disappear. After starting the game, the people load, one guy crashed, the others have to kill the ruse.exe process.

6: "Connecting screen" appearing for eternity: In 1v1 ranked sometimes you get stuck in a connceting screen (or I think it was rather "searching") where there is no cancel button. One has to kill the ruse.exe process.

THX Dreepa. I am sick of posting and trying to help here. No answer from the devs and it's a NO-GO how Eugen/Ubisoft "handle" the ruse community.

But you write exactly our experiences for the last weeks.

Only one more thing:
Players get kicked out of the lobby because steam is overloaded. Messages in Steam need sometimes 2-3 minutes.

Dreepa is exactly right.

Throughout the entire beta these problems were appearing, after several reports I thought it was safe to assume that if I spent £30 on a game these very long running issues would have been addressed.

I am disgusted with the time it has taken to even ackowledge that there are problems (that have prevented me playing a sigle full game in the last 3 hours) in your multiplayer.

The idea that someone can end the game by forcing it to crash rather than taking a loss on there records is ridiculous and quite frankly I want to see how many times on someone's record they 'disconnect' during a game without surrendering.

Yup well spoken. That are indeed the biggest problems atm.

Yup im kinda getting worried atm. Before the launch i was really pleased to see the devs being active on these forums. But after the release it seems that they are running around their desks in pannic wondering how to explain that the bugs which has been reported in the last beta's, 6 months ago, havent been fixed, but even got ALLOT worse. It makes me wonder if this was just a publicity stunt and if it COULD be fixed.. Really starting to get worried after all these weeks to see that all they did was to add VAC (which shouldve been included from the start) and the well known issues are being ignored??

Where are the other players? anytime I go to multiplayer to search for games, I only find one or two constantly.. during the day, at night.. only 1 to 2 games at a time.. what the heck? I know more then 4 people play this game? What is going on

I've been having the same problems, but theres a few more too:

1. One player disconnects, and their entire team then disconnects too, so you then either win/lose the game depending on the score at that point (Its usually in the first few seconds) - This is the bug I see most often.

2. Someone is in the lobby but only the host can see them, so they start the countdown, while everyone can see 3v4 etc.

3. Host a room and then cancel it - go to server screen and you can sometimes still see your room.

4. Sometimes peoples ping bars dont show up in the lobby.

5. Once I saw myself in the lobby twice!

6. Game starts with too many people - eg loading screen will say 5v4 on a 4v4 map!

Set your steam location to Berlin.

A couple more things I've noticed this evening:

1. When the host disconnects at the start, then the whole game crashes.

2. When a host leaves the lobby it usually bugs the room in various ways.

[Thorinbur]

1. Me and my friend appeared in the same spot in the lobby and there were 5 players in 4 players room

2. Sapers (building tracks) sometimes (rarely) get stuck for from couple of seconds to couple of minutes on the spot where the building should be.

+ i experienced almost every if not every of described above.

P.S It was supposed to be summary of connection bugs so sappers bug does not belong here but i will leave info anyway.

Now it seems that players are being kicked from lobbies. I host a game, my friend joins, it says he left the game on my screen, but on his screen it says he was kicked....O and it's not just me. EVERY GAME i tried joining/creating publicly it happened....TO EVERYONE. UGH worst buy ever and I swear if I don't get an answer soon I will complain to every company, government institution or anything/one related to managing complaints towards gaming companies and their false promises.
