Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug4 Nov 2017, 11:42 AM As Sherlock pointed out already, the title of this post is probably a misnomer since the bug also occurs in the live version of the game. Now that I am looking for that silly pose I see it everywhere. Therefore, it may have nothing to do with the DBP behaviour changes after all. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug3 Nov 2017, 14:25 PM After a bit more testing I was able to make some more observations regarding the T-pose bug. A panzerfusilier squad in my last test run exhibited this behavior with two models at once. The squad was standing in the open (yellow cover) and upon being fired upon from a Centaur (first burst) the squad dove for cover. Immediately thereafter, two models switched to the T-pose. This bug persists until the affected models are killed, and "fresh" models no longer exhibited the bug. In: COH2 Bugs

Im pretty sure Conscripts have the lowest cool-down. It also depends on the reaction radius of the weapon itself. You can see the behavior much better with a large explosion, like the heavy mortar and such. Good to know. I definitely observed the squads dropping to the ground for cover at various intervals when being damaged by flames. Will test out other factions under similar conditions today if I have the time.

Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug3 Nov 2017, 00:33 AM I was unable to force the bug to occur in soviet units after subjecting them to diverse combinations of flames and explosives for a half an hour. Does the duck and cover AI behaviour only occur from enemy attacks or will it also trigger with any flame or explosion? I was, admittedly, roasting my own soldiers with molotovs, flamethrowers and KV-8 (attack ground), as well as the incendiary barrage. Didn't see the bug in any of the units that match, in fact. However, it was a pretty "calm" game compared to when I have seen the bug occur. Perhaps it occurs more frequently in large game modes where there is more going on? Not sure. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 23:45 PM After watching that replay, the bug started immediately after the 5th squad member was added to the squad for the first time. I had just upgraded the squad size and had the tank hunter squad at the FRP (out of combat). There were no fires or explosions (in the direct vicinity) and the squad was standing still (no move commands given, just reinforcement). It only happened to the one model for that particular tank hunter squad, too. Because the AI moves its squads around constantly (quite literally), I didn't observe any other models exhibiting the bug (in that particular game). Will test out flamethrowers next. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 23:19 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2017, 19:44 PMMr.Smith All squads have a separate squad AI reaction animation. The reaction animation triggers when the squad is hit with explosives or flames, or various AoE effects (triggers at most once per 30 seconds). The mod normalized the behaviour for all squads to "drop to the ground and crawl for cover". Perhaps the falling-down-to-the-ground part cannot be supported by certain models, and I'm asking to see whether this is the case. Thanks for the clarification. I'm not sure what triggers it, but it could easily be the drop and cover behaviour that you describe since I only observe it after a game has been going on for a while. I just played a game where I saw it in a tank hunter infantry section squad where the center model (5 man size upgrade) would always revert to the T-pose when not being given a move command. I'll spool through that replay to see where it started. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 18:16 PM Also noticed the bug on Volksgrenadiers in Helping Hans' twitch stream testing the preview vs Noggano, so it isn't just my system. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 16:35 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2017, 15:07 PMMr.Smith Does this occur only when there are flamers/explosives involved, or does this also occur when those aren't involved? Could you clarify whether you mean on screen flames and explosions in general or equipped flamers and AT/grenades? I have observed the T-pose on regularly equipped models (e.g. without flamer or panzerschreck upgrades), so I don't think it is necessarily due to squad weapon upgrades or abilities. It's generally very brief, such that the model will switch from a firing pose to the T-pose and then back. Also, models in this pose appear to fire and move along with the rest of the squad. After testing with the USF, UKF, and Ostheer, I've only seen the T-pose with Infantry Sections (Tommies) in addition to the ones I already mentioned from the Soviets and OKW. I'll go through my replays to see if I can pinpoint anything else. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 14:40 PM Jump back to quoted post2 Nov 2017, 14:06 PMMr.Smith Could you list which squads have this issue? We could give those squads the original AI. I've definitely seen this happen to Tommies. I don't remember if I've seen this happen to Pathfinders, and I've definitely never seen this happen to EFA infantry (yet). So far I've seen it with the following squads: Conscripts, Guards, Penals, Panzerfusiliers, and Volksgrenadiers. Will test with the other factions. In: COH2 Bugs
Thread: December Balance Preview v1.1 "T-pose" bug2 Nov 2017, 13:28 PM I never noticed it in the live game before, but that doesn't rule it out, either (which is worse than in the patch preview if true). As you say, certainly something fixable. Probably just referencing the wrong animation name(s) somewhere. I'll validate and perhaps reinstall on my SSD later to see if that fixes it to make sure it isn't something on my end. In: COH2 Bugs
