NEW v1.02 Rainbow 6 Vegas PC Version: known problems list

[CAMP-LEADER]

Keep this thread clean with suggestions or bumps. Keep this at the top of the tech forum so that those who can do something about this can see it and address the issues.

This posting will ONLY deal with game issues, not compatibility issues with hardware, we all already know its just another port job.


Multiplayer:
-Bug in which upon spawning your character will begin firing and unload an entire clip without any player interaction.

-Crash to desktop (CTD) during play.
While rappeling I was being shot at just as I hit the crouch button (to flip upside down) my comp CTD.

+After CTD logging in to find MP5 equipped instead of my previous equipment.

-Server does not list ping. (This appears to be in demand by the community) Reference: Recent Poll I Submitted (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3801065024/m/5621053615/showpollresults/Y)

-Server freezes client, mouse movement available, and menu selecting available. You can tell you have been put in this situation by noticing the timer no longer counting down. As a result the loading screen appears and I have had a hard crash during such incident one time so far. Hard crash resulted in me hitting the power button.

-Chat system is extremely buggy. No continuity on chat logs between games and during games. Reference: Recent Poll I Submitted (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/3801065024/m/1641087615/showpollresults/Y)

-Multiplayer end of round score screens has annoying ambient sounds. Either move the fixed camera position or disable the ambient sounds at end of round score screens. An example of this is the constant electrical buzzing at LVU map.

-chat bug. when in chat screen and the round starts your stuck with the game lobby screen up while your playing. only way to get rid of it is to leave and come back.
I haven't had this happen to me yet, usually when I am in chat screen between games it just kicks me out a few seconds before the round is about to start then proceeds as normal. I'll keep this in mind and try to stay in chat screen before each round to try to recreate this bug.

-if your running a coop server it ctd , well mine did some time during the last 5 hours.
I don't play coop but I'll keep this here for the others that do to comment on

-Some sounds dont even work online. The grenades dont have any sound.
I have just began to notice this as well. Please let me know which sounds specifically are abscent and I will make a list.

-the commando gun has no sound when you reload a checkpoint.
Is this in reference to Coop mode? please clarify.

and also if your running a coop server it ctd , well mine did some time during the last 5 hours. and the ever popular when you start your on full auto fire until your gun runs out of ammo and then it take a bit to get it to reload. which is bad if the server has friendly fire On and some one is standing in front of you when it happens.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

I can't find any information in the manual or in the readme file on which ports Vegas uses.

After going down a zip line the sound will loop endlessly untill you leave the server or go down a zip line again, which can take any number of times before it stops.

Console being activated by the comma is very annoying when attempting to chat, it is bound to the tilde key and comma which is completely unecessary.

Grenades often don't make any noise, but that isn't to say that they never make noise.

I often find that I can unload a whole clip into a crouched opponents head from 3 feet away and they don't die, I don't know if this is simply the way the game is or if there is some registry bug. I wouldn't have mentioned this, but it's a little too over the top, and there is no mistaking that from that distance and both of us completely still, that any of those rounds missed his completely unprotected head.

Normally it's almost instantaneous death, but every now and then a person just cannot be killed with less than 40+ rounds. This is multiplayer only by the way.

open your PCKellerEngine file in your C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas\KellerGame\Config folder

scroll downa nd you will see the ports the game uses:

[IpDrv.HTTPDownload]
RedirectToURL=
ProxyServerHost=
ProxyServerPort=3128
UseCompression=True

[IpServer.UdpServerQuery]
GameName=ut

[IpDrv.UdpBeacon]
DoBeacon=True
BeaconTime=0.50
BeaconTimeout=5.0
BeaconProduct=ut
ServerBeaconPort=8777
BeaconPort=9777


looks like its the same as Raven Shield was

[CAMP-LEADER]

I ran a search for armor selection and didn't find anything regarding this.

I was trying out various armor choices in the outfitting screen. Noticed a bug, VERY easy to duplicate.

First off select NO armor everywhere. (this simply makes it easier to see this bug.)

Choose shoulder armor, select Falcon Shoulders COMPLETE, this will give you 2 armor/8 move

Next, go back to shoulder armor, select Falcon shoulders right only. Instantly it will choose the Raven shoulder right side only the armor will drop to 0 armor/10 move. The same thing occurs when you choose left only.

Now do this, go to SHOULDERS Raven, select COMPLETE, you will have 0 armor/10 move as you should. Then go to LEFT only, it will give you Falcon LEFT only with 2 armor/8 move. Go to RIGHT only then it gives you TITAN right shoulder pad with 1 armor/9 armor.

This is pretty much a problem on all shoulder, arm, and leg armor.

I would go through and find all the variations in how the armors get screwed up but I actually paid for this game so thats as much as I'm willing to do for now.

Just giving you guys a heads up.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">

all so when your playing coop TH the tangos don't all spawn when you do. they spawn only when you walk bye a certain spot in game and you have to go a certain route for it to spawn them.

cause i have gone threw a area and cleared it, and then a clan member comes threw after me and has tangos spawn all around him, and killing him in the process. which is udder BS!!! they need to fix this so that when your team spawns the AI tangos spawn as well.

all of them and not just a few at a time. which is sooo BS it ain't even funny. it makes you fell like GRAW all over again. besides this and the crash to desk top. and rope sound looping bug. and there is more to come. and all of the other that have been said.<div class="ev_tpc_signature">
