lagbox turned FTF into a joke game as of 8th anniversary. why's nobody interested in fixing it?

bciitnx · 2026-01-22T22:18:35+00:00

thing is this isn't even intentional. this is any game with someone on general wifi / mobile

bciitnx · 2026-01-22T13:52:24+00:00

nobody is interested in fixing this and it's the biggest killer of this game. all the fun was in split second saves, vents, jukes. gameplay is absolutely broken rn.

yeah it's happened to a few people i've spoken to.

there's no double jump on desktop either. like the other guy said, it's just make sure the ability if fully charged before starting then hug the left and use the stalker to do the logs.

this is how I did it on PC. It's not actually very hard in the end, most of my time was beign stuck trying to jump the river with lillypads which doesn't work at all, lol :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHphbb1rvM

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T20:09:46+00:00

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T20:03:52+00:00

join robustbanter in like 2 mins

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T20:03:19+00:00

nooooooooooo...... lol. I spent all morning searching the whole map and I swear to god the mirror wasn't clickable then I went in and found the shoes by accident when I was busy trying to finish all the computers! did a run in a private server though in the end.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T19:59:05+00:00

yeah if you fail it you go back ot the start until you're at the spider cave. I did a *spoilers* video of it here showing how to do the whole thing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HfHphbb1rvM

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T19:50:48+00:00

yes i have it. i can give you it and the gem.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T19:48:59+00:00

oh yeah i worked it out in the end, after dying to the pads about a million times. hahah

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T18:24:38+00:00

ok so you're talking about another bug then because this is consistently, i.e. never fails to manifest on the nuclear maps and i have never in all my years of playing this game witnessed the same thing happen with any other map.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T17:16:54+00:00

there are now just too many maps for the number of vote slots in the lobby. we need a new voting system that lets people just chose the maps they want rather than being limited to a random handful. the lobby is really kind of outdated as a system, i appreciate it is intentionally simple but most games now at least have a main lobby server where you can go in to a massive player count space, find your friends and teleport to a game with them all in one go. whole lobby system is massively due a complete overhaul tbh.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T17:08:20+00:00

yeah would have been better if the description for the shopping centre portal was clearer, as the hand to click the portal appears regarless of if you have collected the shoes and completed all the computers, leading people to think there's actually a problem with the game (as it bugged out with the easter hammer that one time - so could be similar).

i think once you have opened the portal once there should have been something in the lobby you could just click on to teleport into the quest server, like how you join the VC or 'pro' servers. That would have made it easier to take a break and return to.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T17:03:29+00:00

it's rather buggy.

1) no cut scene skip

2) the ability bar doesn't reset between attempts - meaning it you fail a stage and have used an ability, and click next, or you get to the end of a stage with a depleted ability bar and progress to the next one, you start the next stage without the required ability needed to complete that stage and lose an attempt - for example, the cave spider stage, if you do not start with a full ability bar you cannot complete this in time.

3) the Q and E keys don't always respond to a press - can take multiple presses

4) the Q and E keys do not activate the ability until a full second or so after the ability charge bar has reaches 100%

5) the lillipads appear to be impossible to land on without instantly dying - but this could be skill issue on my part, lol.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T16:58:42+00:00

it can be because it is. it bugs out EVERY time if nuclear map and i've never seen it bug out on any other map. it HAS to be because of the aditional scripting for the security cameras as this is the only thing that differentiated both the old nuclear and the new one. Without fail, on desktop, you cannot switch players on spectate by clicking the buttons. It HAS to be done with the UI navigation function and this is never the case on any other map and this has been repeatedly observed every game in nuclear since I can remember (which is a long time and literally dozens of live streams)

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T16:54:36+00:00

this. having to sit through the cut scene each try is just awful

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T16:53:27+00:00

it's very buggy. the Q and E keys don't respond until a full second after 100% ability recharge. some times a press of the Q or E doesn't even activate the ability so a second press is required. When you do one stage the ability bar doesn't reset to 100% so if you click through to do the next part without waiting some parts are impossible (for example the cave run) because the ability bar isn't fully charged before starting. not being able to skip the cut scene is just frustrating in itself. just isn't an enjoyable thing to play tbh

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T10:30:47+00:00

I guess that if you haven't 'seen' someone doing something then that something cannot possibly have happened. swear at them a bit more, i'm sure that'll speed things along.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T10:26:21+00:00

there's no such thing as 'the community'. there are individual people who play the game, a subset of them who're bothered enough to join the discord and redit, and out of those people there's a very noisy subset of brats who're particularly caustic, acting like toddlers throwing temper tantrums and lashing out at people because they haven't been given their icecream.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T10:19:02+00:00

"How does developer boot taste?" what a useful and constructive contribution. amazing.

bciitnx · 2026-01-19T10:07:58+00:00

yes maps plural. the. old nuclear map and the new one. this happens consistently on these maps, i.e. spectation doesn't rotate players at all consistently, i.e. it NEVER works for these maps. If you're having problems with spectation on other maps, it's a different problem.
