Numerous bugs during newbie's 12 hour playtime to level 30

Discussion

2 days ago I bought the game and downloaded it over night. I have 2 friends , both with gearscore of 500, which I wanted to play with, they obviously have played this game for way much longer than me. I created a character, and in 12 hours in 1 day, I was level 30. Most of it, they helped me, but they had to go for like 2-3 hours , so I played about 2-3 hours solo.

The fact that I encounter these bugs during this relatively small amount of playtime tells something about how unpolished this game really is, it really pisses me off.

Multiple crashes: During 12 hour playtime, I crashed in total of 4 times. I tried looking solutions up, my game is on lowest settings, I have underclocked my GPU, I have top end desktop PC hardware + other mentioned solutions, yet I keep crashing. This is the most annoying out of them all. My teammates said they have crashed as well.

Enemies stuck in inaccessible locations to players: encountered this bug 3 times: 1 time it was in library side mission, where 2 enemies were stuck inside stairs, this was when I was playing solo, I tried grenade, shooting, nothing worked. Some people have suggested that they despawn after 2 minutes if you do nothing, I stood there for way longer than 2 minutes and nothing happened. I fast travelled to nearest control point, and came back, and nothing happened. To fix it, I had to do another side mission, then this one was reset, and I could finally do it. 2 other times I had my team, and we somehow managed to do it without resetting, 1 time they spawned in a room above us, where 1 of the team fast travelled to nearest control point, and cleared them, the other time, we were lucky, there was only 1 spot in 1 corner room where the head of the enemy in 2nd floor was barely visible, otherwise would have to reset.

Game freezing for good 1-3 seconds: Not really a bug/glitch than issue of game engine/coding. I have 860 EVO SSD, with i7-8700k CPU with 1080Ti GPU and 3 Ghz RAM, which is near top end of PC hardware, but when , say I step into a ''new area'' I froze 1 time for good 2-3 seconds, where obviously game was loading files. This is not every time I enter a new area, it happened like 1-2 times during my playtime, but still noticable.

Audio bugs out: I hear ''baby voices'' when it bugs out, or like in pre-made videos/movies. I had to turn down my SFX volume, and eventually ''restart'' (uh, game crash and launch game again) for issue to be fixed. After turning down SFX volume I blamed my teammate's discord, that I could hear game audio from his mic, but that wasn't the issue, it was on my side. I don't know how to describe it, guns sounded completely different and muted/muffled, and dialogue was those ''baby voices'', I could hear it, but it was modified.

The fact that I encountered these bugs during this short amount of playtime means everyone has likely experienced these bugs, and now it's 5 months since game released, and they should be fixed.

Thank you for reading!

Crashes: disable DX12. Nvidia must fix the crashes, wait for new drivers.

Freezing: You are probably running into 100% CPU usage on occasions. Try to lower CPU usage: set FPS limit, lower object detail and streaming distance.

Whoops that's probably why my game is crashing! Have dx12 on, otherwise it's been pretty good to me, limited fr to 75 so it doesn't run into any stuttering but I've got the settings up pretty high by my portable rig's standards.

Playing with high level people to get more xp is cheap.

Did you read my post? Playing with my friends matters to me more than actual gameplay.

I get the game freezing for 1-3 secs even more sometimes despite a solid rig. If somebody has a workaround or a fix it’ll be more than welcome :)

For the mob in a wall, use Oxidizer chem launcher.

I also bought the game two days ago, and I'd rather run into the bugs you ran into then the ones I've had:

  1. Bugging lootboxes in supply drop and territory control events: I've done 2 territory control and 1 supply drop event where I've been unable to open the loot boxes regardless if I had the access keys or otherwise.
  2. Dear God... need I say the Federal Bunker Bug?: I don't know if you have already gotten this far, but PLEASE take my advice: HOST THE GAME SESSION WHEN YOU DO THE FEDERAL BUNKER MISSION OR YOU WILL BE SCREWED! My 500 gear score buddy did, and now I'm unable to get the Reinitialize SHD Network mission, and subsequently cannot progress to the Capitol stronghold and World Tiers.

Your computer is better than mine and I don’t have any of these issues. Even with game recording software running in the background.
