Distress beacon squad size
Bug Description: It has come to my attention that no matter how many players click the join the response team the game will sometimes decide to simply spawn in one and ONLY one player. This has happened to me before as well as the UCM commando squad not spawning at all.
Steps to reproduce:
1.Call distress beacon
2.Ready up
3.Get 1 PMC despite 8 people joining the team.

Re: Distress beacon squad size
Since the rng system was put in I've seen maybe a maximum of three people get selected out of 8-18 people who selected

Personally I'd suggest reverting to the first come first serve system until the pool system is fixed. While not ideal, that one worked.

Yes the pool system is bloody broken. Couple days ago another PMC squad was sent in and out of 10 players a whopping ZERO was selected. It was literately just a supply ship

That's normal. The supply ship is a possible distress beacon and will not spawn people, just supplies.Brandon wrote:Yes the pool system is bloody broken. Couple days ago another PMC squad was sent in and out of 10 players a whopping ZERO was selected. It was literately just a supply ship

Re: Distress beacon squad size
Don't know if this was before or after I got spawn in as RT. But yesterday, I was the only RT who spawned, and this was indeed after the changelog said that this issue was potentially fixed.

Re: Distress beacon squad size
I have a theory about it..FatalEYES wrote:Huh. Still broke? Damn, thought that last update fixed it.
Right so basically when a DB is forced by a member of staff it will work fine, however if it is called by normal means through the command system in bridge it doesn't work.
This theory will probably need further testing but from what i have seen it could be the cause.

Re: Distress beacon squad size
Pretty sure this was fixed in the last day or so.
The ERT calls seem to be working and having around 4 players on them now, compared to before with 0-1 people on it.

Re: Distress beacon squad size
A Rt Call about an hour ago from the bridge ( a round ago, currently )didn't work with the squad sizes so it's not fixed.WyattH wrote:Pretty sure this was fixed in the last day or so.

It might be that it has the mobs spawn in but doesn't allocate a player to them.I believe an staff member was on at the time as well. (bad with names so i've forgotten like a gold fish, sorry!)

Re: Distress beacon squad size
No That theory wouldn't work unless just empty mob bodies showed up. If it shows up empty than it is not even loading up any mob bodiesMr. Penguin wrote: A Rt Call about an hour ago from the bridge ( a round ago, currently )didn't work with the squad sizes so it's not fixed.
