CLOWN'S BOTTLE IS BUGGED THROWING OVER OBSTACLES

bottle projectile goes over the obstacle, but the gas cloud appears right in your face. Bottle continues flying even though the game apparently thinks it already shattered.


repro: throw a bottle over some kind of chest-height obstacle at a particular angle.


on PC


happens to me at least once a game lately.

Could you add a video of the issue occurring and the tile where it occurs on the escape menu?

    I bought the Clown recently and this happens a lot to me too. It happens when I'm standing right next to some object; the bottle looks like it's flying right over the object but the hiss and gas cloud happen immediately where I'm standing.


    (I'm on PC as well.)

    Maybe you've noticed this as well with the Clown: if I'm carrying a survivor and I attack another survivor, there's no sound or animation, even though the attack works as normal.

    Haven't encountered this one, and I've hit a good plenty of people while carrying because I've been using agitation in a lot of matches.

    No, I can't give you a video because my game already struggles to run at 40 fps at minimum settings. I don't sit around with OBS running when I'm playing a game for fun on the chance I might have to do unpaid QA work.

    I used to work as a QA tech for a major electronics manufacturer and they didn't ask for such extensive proof of software bugs, sheesh. If I accidentally discover some consistent cause of it? Sure, I'll make a custom game and try to reproduce it, but my suspicion is that it's something to do with server latency compensation and client sync and that is something I have zero ability to test the range of as a consumer.
