Engineer Update Bugs - Games

As you may have noticed by now there are numerous bugs as a result of the engineer update. Some are gameplay related and others are simply achievement problems and sort. I didn't see a thread about this so I thought it'd be easier for us all to compile them into one big list. Here's what I've found so far [list][*][del][highlight]"Death Metal" achievement can be earned simply by standing on building pieces and not getting the metal from them[/highlight][/del][*][del]If you switch from your wrench to the gunslinger via resupply locker after having built a normal sentry, you can keep it despite having the gunslinger out.[/del][*][del][highlight]Hitting a teammate/building counts towards the gunslinger's combo punch, and allows you to store crits against your enemies.[/del][/highlight][*][del]Level 3 Mini Sentrys- By exploiting the gunslinger you can have a level 3 mini sentry, but it's color will be that of RED team.[/del][*][highlight]The achievement "Patent Protection" is broken[/highlight][*][highlight]Engineers can damage their teammates by firing a rocket then destroying the sentry before it connects.[/highlight][*][del]Civilian Engineer- build a mini dispenser, pack it up but don't deploy it, have the round end or restart during the little "setup" time while people are still loading, you will then start the round as civilian engineer[/del] [*]On pl_upward trees float behind the BLU spawn[*][highlight]"Quick Draw" achievement is broken[/highlight][*][del]Incorrectly colored arms for certain weapons[/del][*][del][highlight]Infinite rockets on wrangled sentrys[/del][/highlight][*][del]Picking up a sentry then changing your class results in becoming a civilian-(class)[/del][*]Spies disguised as an engineer using "The Gunslinger" will appear to use it's animations with the yellow glove, not the robotic hand.[*][i]There's a problem with custom engineer hats, parts of the texture sometimes won't work by that I mean they may be in wireframe or checker mapped. This is fixed if you restart but it's like a 1 in 5 chance that when you load up a new game custom engineer hats will be missing textures in some way.[/i] [*][del]The "Rio Grind" achievement is set to 50 repairs/reloads, but requires you to do 500 to unlock the achievement in-game.[/del][/list] If ye find anymore post them here to avoid spamming the forum :v: [b]EDIT:[/b]Chances are that these will be patched swiftly; but remain vigilant for more bugs as the first moments of an update are chock full of them. [b]EDIT2:[/b]I'm an idiot.I'll just highlight the severe ones [b]EDIT3:[/b]I've edited the list to italicize sourcemod related bugs. Do note that the most severe bug on this list is the Infinite Rockets as of now. Highlighted the civilian glitch seeing as someone made a thread about it for some reason :psyduck: [b]EDIT4:[/b]Patched bugs will be crossed out.

Level 3 mini sentry.

I found out a glitch where you can suddenly spawn a buttload of broken guitar pieces onto the ground.

I'm willing to bet that the wrangler's 32 ammo display is supposed to go down.

[QUOTE=Inacio;23220911]Ye gotta be kidding[/QUOTE] Yup. You can build multiple ones, too.

1. Build level 3 sentry with normal wrench. 2. Switch to gunslinger via locker. 3. Pick up sentry. 4. Place it back down and get a level 3 mini-sentry.

It's true. It's actually pretty funny.

[QUOTE=Inacio;23220911]Ye gotta be kidding[/QUOTE] it was a joke. (besides, i tried when i found the trick myself.)

A glaring one is KOTH maps (haven't tried online yet) will for one reason or another bring your FPS to a crawl when the point is capped. I have experienced anywhere down to 5 FPS when that happens and in the 20s when a team is taking the capture point. This was not an issue yesterday before the update. This must be the new "OVERTIME" but far more annoying.

With the Wrangler, you can jump on top of your sentry, look up and shoot to get to places that you really shouldn't be. Not really a bug but still.

I got a new update, about 66 MB. Looks like a patch :saddowns:

[QUOTE=butters757;23220979]With the Wrangler, you can jump on top of your sentry, look up and shoot to get to places that you really shouldn't be. Not really a bug but still.[/QUOTE] That seems like an intended thing. Engineer rocket jumping

[QUOTE=BeardyDuck;23220939][media]http://youtube.com/watch?v=sVVa-AzmXM0[/media] its not a joke[/QUOTE] Well hot damn.

[QUOTE=Inacio;23221064]my god the lvl 3 minisentry is [B]THE SHIT.[/B] gotta try it tomorrow [editline]03:30AM[/editline] my god the lvl 3 minisentry is [B]THE SHIT.[/B] gotta try it tomorrow[/QUOTE] Might be too late, TF2 updated for me.

[url=http://i32.tinypic.com/2419ovb.jpg]This adorable little bastard scared the shit out of every single one of my teammates. :3:[/url] URL'd incase some people don't want their stuff spoiled and whatnot.

I'm uploading a video of the guitar glitch I found.

I know it's been posted, but this is like everything from making to upgrading the sentry, to the glitch itself. That, and I didn't want that time gone to waste. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqPratYdIbU[/media] Wait for the quality.

It might just be me, but rockets with a level 3 sentry don't run out when you use the wrangler. My friend and I both built level 3 sentries and wasted all the ammo, and our sentries kept shooting rockets even when the bar was empty.

You don't even have to fully upgrade it before switching to gunslinger by the way, just don't pick it up when it's still level 1.

if you use the command destroy X for whatever building youre carrying it crashes tf2.

[QUOTE=Trexmaster;23220822] [list][*]Level 3 Mini Sentrys- By exploiting the gunslinger you can have a level 3 mini sentry, but it's color will be that of the opposite team.[/list][/QUOTE] Actually it's just always RED team.

Every time I take out the wrangler, I just kind of crash.

Playing on arena_sawmill crashes the game within a few seconds/ minutes

Yep. Every time. I can't mess around with it. [editline]11:51PM[/editline] are you fucking me ninjas

[QUOTE=noodleboy347;23221310]Actually it's just always RED team.[/QUOTE] Duly noted :v:

If you shoot sentry rockets toward a teammate and blow up your sentry before the rockets connect, it will hurt the person

[QUOTE=Hell-met;23221470]If you shoot sentry rockets toward a teammate and blow up your sentry before the rockets connect, it will hurt the person[/QUOTE] Oooh that's a cool one

Not really a bug, but it is useful: [QUOTE=GastricTank;23220934]Just figured out how to do something cool: Engineer rocket jumping! With the Wrangler, stand in front of your sentry, pointing at your feet. Jump, then quickly right click to release the rockets at your feet to do a Sentry rocket jump! It takes out a lot of HP, but you can use this to get to higher places and build unsuspecting sentries there! Try it![/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=GastricTank;23221650]Not really a bug, but it is useful:[/QUOTE] And then from doing this you can build dispensers higher up after you rocket jumped and proceed to do the same thing!
