[PC] The Emblem System and Pips are broken

No I'm pretty sure they can't give back the ranks you lost. If you care about your rank then you should stop playing until they fix the bug. That's the smart thing to do.

Nvm, I want to play right now, so screw the ranks. xD

Well, don’t come back here complaining and asking for your lost ranks back then :)

Has anyone seen an ETA on getting this bug fixed, that I missed somewhere on social or in the forums? :(

I ended up falling out of red ranks to purple before I noticed what exactly was happening, I just thought I was losing my mind. I've completely stopped playing until this is fixed, which is a bummer because I want to enjoy the event and work on the rift. Not to mention that with rank reset I'm now down to green.

I had submitted a ticket for this back on the 11th, but the response was just that "QA is working on it", and "Unfortunately, we won't be able to give you a timeline as to when we can expect this to be fixed, but we promise that the team will get to work on this as soon as possible."

Actually, the devs turned it "up to 11" yesterday for me...I played 5 separate games, all games ended with "disconnected from server" dialog, followed by another "error something something" dialog on kickback to home menu (which needs net connection so I guess I did have it after all).....oh and obviously a -2pip penalty for each match, and a (constant) 5 min penalty afterwards.

I used the last 2 of those matches for testing fully expecting the same outcome. Restarted both DBD and Steam after the 3rd match dc. I also started a continuous ping probe running in the background on 8.8.8.8 to make sure my connection was actually stable....and it was. After the 4th, I again exited DBD,ran a file state verification through steam, then closed both and rebooted (hoping that this was caused by some windows update issue that needed to finish initializing. Unfortunatelly, the 5th match ended in dc as well.

I can't for the life of me figure out how a small-scale update could ever lead to such unbelievably disasterous results for what seems like the majority of the player-base. The devs (likely multiple teams given the range of changes) who worked on 4.5.0 must have worked off of task lists and check lists, as well as ran fundamental unit tests to make sure the core logic is still functional.

My post-update experience is analogous to tetris getting a UI update, which ends up making the cleared lines to eventually start descending from the top causing automatic game over.....yet apparently not a single person from QA seeing how this might be an issue.

Honestly I do not want to be trash talking but am I the only one that thinks that its taking way too long to fix such a urgent gamebreaking bug? I feel like they could've at least temporaily disabled the ranking till it's fixed so people can still do their challenges and the rift without deranking every game. Thats what they do on most of the games in my experience especially if ranked is the only option to play on.

Any developer that can give us a ETA? I am really looking forward to play, and again I don't wanna spill tea. I'm just curious about how things are at the moment, and if it's actually being worked on in the weekend.

Edit: also maybe a good idea to release bigger updates on the 13th when ranks reset instead of in the middle of ranking :) just because this update was a huge difference in gameplay as well and I feel that made the last days of ranking unfair anyway in general, even if there was no ranking bug. Just an idea!

Well you are right in my 3 games (blank emblem, ok pips) but the blood pips were red when I got only the black one (that was OK, and if emblem worked, I would had only 1 pip), so must be an issue with that too

I just experienced this, I got 2 pips from this last game I just played. The summary / points screen showed that I went back up to Rank 4. Unbroken was gold (I escaped via hatch) but once I left the game and loaded back to menu my rank was still 5 and I only received 1 pip.

I sadly didn't think about taking a screenshot of the final screen before leaving that match. :(

In every other game if I am sacrificed I have no unbroken emblem and pip +/- looks to act normal.

This is annoying. I’ve had 3 matches in a row over a couple of days (I play sporadically) and NO Unbroken emblem ranking. Luckily I didn’t lose a pip this last time, but I should have got one.... is there a way to get compensated for this?

Simply amazing... On the last page if I remembered correctly I got 34K points.. but still a +0. 1 update and the game is broken...

its pretty awesome to lose a pip when a player disconnects during loading. :):):):)):):):)):):):):) twice :)

Is it already fixed?

What a nonsense bug honestly. Makes the game almost unplayable for me. I play the game cause I think it's a lot of and I enjoy the grind of getting to level one and doing my best to keep it. This just kills that for me as I know even a safety pip is gonna make my rank drop. This bug is a big yikes on the developers part. (I play on PS5)

Really? We depip even when someone disconnects. WE DIDN'T EVEN PLAY AND WE DEPIP. Do they even play their own game?

And there are plenty of times when you get 3 reds, nothing for unbroken (because it is bugged) and yet, no pipping. The ranked system is just broken. It happens almost every trial (I would say about 4 out of 5).

Unbroken still broken... If you not get out, it WILL BE empty. No matter how long you alive, if you died, you will depip.

Can confirm, Unbroken emblem is still broken.

I just disconnected after some epic tunnel. Got +1 pip...

I'm on Xbox and it's still broken. Usually by now I should be back to rank 9 or 10 but I'm stuck at 14.

Yes, the last fix didn't solve that issue. How is that even possible to destroy the pip ranking system, that totally worked fine and there was no need to change anything on it?

It is nearly impossible to be a rank 1 survivor right now. LOL

I was rank 1 a few days ago. Now I'm rank 7.
