Sound, Add-on...bugs, etc - questions

JustARandomPanda

I've been trying out Wildstar for the first time this weekend and have been having a lot of fun. I've made 2 toons. Both Aurin males. Both Soldier path. One is a Striker and the other a Spellslinger. I'm very early level and only just made it to the Wild...uh...something or other. Geez...can't remember what the optional starting zone is called but it was fun.

 

Anyway...I have some questions.

 

I've been having a ton of fun as I said earlier. But I've also experienced some bugs. Some examples:

 

1. Sound will cut in and out during both gameplay and cut-scenes. I've messed around with the settings but the only thing that seems to fix it for a while is actually logging out of the game completely then logging back in. Sometimes that fixes the sound problem...sometimes not.

 

2. I'll often get pop-ups saying "Add-on" problem (don't recall the exact wording but that's what it announces and shows what I presume to be codelines).

 

3. Windows that will pop up from things you examine like Lore or whatnot but no matter what I do they will not disappear. Left click, right click, click somewhere else, press F, press the red "X" that supposedly closes the window...press some other key..whatever they stay on the screen. The only thing that solves it (until it happens again) is exiting the game and logging back in.

 

I'm curious to see if others have experienced these problems and if so..were you able to find a fix? Or is this just something that Carbine is going to have to put on their "To Do" list of bugs to fix?

 

I'm on the fence about buying the game because I don't know if these problems are due to something with the game or something on my end. If I bought it I'd probably get the digital deluxe version but that's a lot of money to shell out for a game that's flaky on me at the moment.

All 3 of your examples are known bugs that they are working on, I have bug #2 happen to me all the time, I also get floating NPC's, and the pop-up windows that are cut-off so you cant read them half the time.

These have all been noted on the forums in the bug section, many of them just started up with this last patch they did, so they are looking at the cause between the two.

Well that's something of a relief. I was a bit worried it might be something on my end. Well...as long as Carbine is busy on the fixes then I won't fret too much. So far...of what I've played I've enjoyed.

 

Thx for the reply.

These bugs, along with many others, are "planned" to be fixed before launch. At this point though, there seems to be too much work still to get them all and I doubt it will be a good launch. Maybe if they can put their heads down and work hard, they might get most of it done by the first major patch.
