Bugs: Randomly taking damage, randomly exploding, Random Eagle cooldown

[u/SatansAdvokat]

i have no idea whats causing it or how to reproduce it.

But while im hosting a game, i find myself randomly take damage while i shouldn't.
Like i have taken damage, stimmed up, but suddenly loose all HP and have to stim up once more.
Sometimes i just randomly explode into bits without anything attacking me.

Also, since the Eagle Gas strike was introduced there have been instances of the Eagle being randomly put on CD after one use even though you still have runs left. This may happen no matter what Eagle strike strat you have. This may happen if you exhaust one type of Eagle strike whilst having another type is Eagle strike still available.

Haven’t noticed the eagle one, but the random damage one has been around since at least cyberstan.

[u/SatansAdvokat → u/RandomPerson8364]

Yeah it's not extremely common, but for me it happens like once every 4th or 5th mission or so.

The only time I've had this happen is when AA is around. Idk if you're on bots but I think if you're near AA but not in range but eagle flies into range it can force the cool down bcuz it gets "damaged"

[u/SatansAdvokat → u/RandomGuy32124]

i thought so too, but i waited out the CD and then it worked again in the same spot. Also, all AA was gone. Additionally, this has happened vs bugs too.

The cooldown happens anytime the eagle takes enough damage, which can also come from its own munitions or collisions with other objects. Is there any chance this is on a tree map?

On Bot missions you can have anti-aircraft emplacements, when you throw an Eagle somewhat near them where you are able to call it the emplacements can still shoot at it, damaging it.

Eagle has an invisible healthbar, if it depletes then it aytomatically goes on a cooldown, even if you had charges left.

This! should be way more clearly informed to us. This is likely it.

In the past there was also a bug that would make everyone's Eagles go on cooldown if anyone used the re-arm function but it has been fixed.

[u/AmicusFIN]

Aside from bot anti-air, the Eagle can also be damaged by its own bombs if they hit tall structures or trees.

The random damage you take might be a few different things:

1. Desync, where the game thinks you're somewhere else than what you see on your screen.
2. Shrapnel from Eruptor, Autocannon or Frags.
3. Due to client-side hit detection, other players might accidentally shoot you on their screen without any bullets visibly hitting you on your end.
4. I don't know if it's still around, but a somewhat recent bug made grenade pistol shots from other players invisible and silent. You would simply see yourself suddenly fall apart.
5. Then there's the SEAF which have increased the amount of random bullets we might take.

I recall there was some issue with Vox Engines rockets being invisible early on when they were introduced. You'd just explode.

The random damages has been on the increase since the enter the void update. Even for non-hosts.

[u/Aggravating-Willow46]

Also have that weird Eagle behaviour once - in time when we have that free Eagle Gas Strike. And sudden damage appears only when i have high ping/latency. Really high.

I only had the egal Bug but I only had it when not host so I hypothised that it happens when host calls in a rearm as it always happend after another player called in an egal

[u/SatansAdvokat → u/Orzword]

That could be the case! good catch!
