Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to provide an update that the hotfix won't be going out until early next week (Monday or Tuesday). Sorry for the delay but unfortunately the fixes will require additional testing before release and we don't want to release more bugs in the process.

The problem is they use many different builds at the same time, each in various stages of development and with various changes. So when it comes time to compile everything, they end up using the wrong one or leaving things out. Not sure why they don't just have a RELEASE BUILD DO NOT TOUCH that they just apply finalized changes to, rather than pushing whatever build seems most advanced at that time. Because the way they do it now, they keep overwriting recent changes with old stats, and then they have to go back and fix it again. It's like that time Pak 40 Target Weak Point was broken for months, then they fixed it for one patch, but then they unfixed it and it remained broken and ignored. I'm still not sure if it's been fixed because I've mentally blocked it as a viable ability if the enemy is microing at all.

I think this has to be the most embarrassing bug since the beginning.
I mean, Shocks OP - not cool. Partisans OP - not cool. But an MG shooting from one base to another? Ridiculous.

That is insane if true.

But how do you know this?

The Vickers bug is a "knock-on" bug. I worked in the QA industry for 3 years.

Basically Vickers Vet 1 bonus wasn't being applied... the Vet 1 bonus being "Fires longer range when garrisoned."

So they fixed that bug.

Now the Vickers range increases every time it's put in a building. That's the knock-on.

Very common problem in any game development environment.

They will fix it soon, so stop freaking out.

It's just absolutely a clusterfuck of unprecedented proportions. Because of this bug the Brits don't even get access to one of their three early game units. WASP is quite weak now damage wise, vickers k upgrade was always weak, at least tommies are facing down snipers that are slightly easier to kill now. They're going to get eaten alive regardless.

How does one go about 'mounting' said scope? As I understand it you need to put the MG in a building, get Vet1, exit, decrew it, recrew it, get in a building, reach vet 1, rinse, repeat. Is it simply applied every time you enter a building (which makes it even more retarded than I previously thought)? If it's only applied per recrew I swear we could just hold players to an honor system, and if they attempt to cheese that shit, DQ their ass. /shrug

This is an epic fuckup and to be quite honest: RELIC SHOULD APOLOGIZE IN PUBLIC TO THE COMMUNITY.

The fanbase organizes a < 5000$ prize pool tournament and they totally shit all over this event with their messy and chaotic way of working!

People are "freaking out" because one of the biggest COH2 tournaments to date has had to ban units and commanders before it even started because of this sloppy situation. This was a big opportunity to showcase the new UKF forces and you can't even use their HMG

It has been this way during months as USF but never saw much complains on forums.

Anyway bugs are annyoing and need to be fixed. Remember back in coh1 the pakbug blowing up tanks with 2 shots. It lasted more than a weekened by far. Welcome to Relic's game.
