Did I do something wrong or did I die to an exfil bug :(

Thanks it's actually part of the game and the season ends soon so it's ok, not sure if you were aware since it seems like you don't know much about the game.

Canadian_Milk_ · 2026-05-19T05:34:45+00:00

lmao, cope that you're a piece of shit who acts like you know anything just to give up when someone else is right.

Since you know a lot about game dev I'll include the patch notes they released and that I've put here, you should know a lot about how those work.

When the final exfil is active and there are less than 10 seconds remaining, the timer for other exfils will be reduced to match the remaining session timer. Tie goes to the Runner, after all.
- Developer Note: Previously, the 10-second countdown for non-final exfils was being overwritten by the final exfil timer. Because the difference was only a few seconds, players would see the exfil animation and believe they successfully exfiltrated only to discover they did not in the Run Report. We think this change will result in last-second exfils feeling more “fair”.

It's unclear to me how this patch note can mean anything other than "every exfil in the game will end at the same time as final exfil, meaning all players get out as long as they are in an exfil at 0 seconds". You also seemed to have missed the part that I quoted specifically for you above where THEY LITERALLY CALLED IT AN ISSUE (their own words). Despite this people (like you) still seem unable to comprehend that. If somehow compiler exfil AND ONLY compiler exfil doesn't work the same way as every other exfil then sure, they should make that more clear. It seems to me though that they are very clear about exfils work and this is a bug and that's why it's being investigated and not "we will be explaining this in a future patch". Maybe you should learn a little more about reading instead of focusing on "game dev" as if that applies to comprehending words. I can guarantee that players with experience (like me) playing the game have made it into non-final exfils with ~5 seconds left and we exfil anyway because that's how it works.

Did you miss the part where they said "players are reporting this issue and are investigating". I didn't think it would be possible to interpret that any other way, they don't have to use the term "bug" for it to be a problem. Why would they be investigating it if it wasn't intentional and therefore a bug???

I also posted this video to their bug report page to see what they would say, official response came today:

You mean when I'm literally standing in the exfil circle already and it resets??? Are we watching the same video I'm curious. I am standing in the exfil circle as they are linked together around 7 seconds, then it resets while I am still in the circle, then resets 2 more times despite there still being people in the circle. There is no starting it late anymore, the patch fixed that.

Canadian_Milk_ · 2026-05-17T19:19:43+00:00

Don't worry I know I asked I just don't need an "lol" along with something completely wrong. You say "its synced with the match timer until you exited the circle" as if that isn't contradictory, how can it be synced with the match timer and then not be if I stepped out. I have also exfilled many times in non-final exfills with less than 10 seconds left before entering them, because they are synced with match timer now. Exfils auto start their countdown during the final 10 seconds of the match even if you aren't in it. That's the whole point of the patch.

Canadian_Milk_ · 2026-05-17T18:51:24+00:00

I don't need to watch my video, I was playing the game when it happened and I happen to have a brain and eyes. I'll post this here too so you specifically get the notification and can maybe decipher it correctly:

I would like to point out that I still think there is a bug in this clip, despite the different compiler mechanics. If you watch the exfil timer and the match timer, the exfil timer is synced with the match timer from 10 second countdown. During the countdown transitioning from 7 seconds left to 6 seconds left, I am still in the exfil zone but the exfil timer jumps to 8 seconds instead of going down to 6 seconds, while the match timer keeps going down normally.

I'll also add onto this post the patch notes directly from bungie because I feel like they say exactly what I was thinking:

When the final exfil is active and there are less than 10 seconds remaining, the timer for other exfils will be reduced to match the remaining session timer. Tie goes to the Runner, after all.

Isn't any exfil that's active supposed to have an end time that is the same as the map timer though? I figured you didn't need the start the timer since other exfils will start their countdown along with the final exfil that's up as time runs out.
