New flashes are broken

[tranquil oasis]

Since the new update there are no soft flashes anymore, even when turning away, it full flashes you. FIX IT!

@manic narwhal

look at the video, this legit makes the game unplayable for me

needs a hotfix

[manic narwhal]

thats working precisely as it should. Short white flash when looking away. Long one when looking directly at it. Exactly as your video shows. No fix needed. lol Nothing has changed.

[tawdry wing]

Flashes work the same exact way ever since I played this game in 2018. There's no bug. You always got blinded for ~half a second even if you completely turned away from it.

[tranquil oasis]

no, that's not how they worked. They flashed you and it slowly faded away, similar to CS go. Now it's full or no and the flash effect doesn't fade but goes from one frame to the other

and also have about 4k hours since 2019

[vital hawk]

Stun nades too, turns the whole screen black.

[tranquil oasis]

don't know if these people are blind of they didn't play the game. The flahes are 100 percent different

[tranquil oasis]

here since you don't believe me, this is what the stun grenade looks like

[manic narwhal]

hmm that black screen for the stun isnt normal for sure, but the flashes look totally normal to me. Been playing the game 5 years my guy. lol. Lets not be rude now.

[austere torrent]

Nah. That flash is stuffed. Shouldn't be full white

[noble marten]

i also got the same issue

[weak moon]

Im pretty sure too that they changed them ,because before it was a slightly dimmer white with a longer fade (time adds Up to the Same Just different fading Speed)

[tranquil oasis]

Yeah, you also were able to play anti flash and turn on flashes. It now is impossible

[eager hound]

I'm confident this is a bug with tactical nades because I refuse to think this is intended

[flat eagle]

Those claiming that the flashes are the same as before are either unfamiliar with the game or this "bug" doesn't impact everyone. The flashes are different regardless of whether you're hit from the side or the back, you remain completely white until it wears off.
This was not the case prior to the recent update. (Or maybe the one before)

I hope that this is just a bug rather than a newly added feature from our 9000 IQ developers

[icy laurel]

Our team is currently looking into the issue

[manic narwhal]

The black stun bug was hilarious actually. Someone stunned me today and my screen was totally black. As far as the flashes, i still see very little difference there, but maybe no1 has flashed me from behind coincidentally yet? Ill see. But can confirm the black stun is there and its REALLY FUNNY. something for sure is up with the tacticals if that is happening.

[manic narwhal]

Anyone got a clip of the flash before this bug? Would like to compare.

[tranquil oasis]

Flashes don't fade anymore and there is no gradient. You are always 100% flashed or not flashed. Normally there is a gradient and you could also turn flashes similar to Valorant or CS

[dull pilot]

no but I got the same, I will check some replays (maybe the bug looks the same in replays)

it is I will send a video

[tawdry wing]

Maybe not everyone's affected by the bug then, I've no idea, they're still the same to me.

[tranquil oasis]

Everyone I asked on the pugs server reported the same issue. Did you try to replicate the two clips I sent in?

[manic narwhal]

Still waiting on someone to find a clip of what the flashes looked like before this supposed bug. The flashes seem like a non issue to me even IF its slightly different. Its still a short flash if not looking and a longer one if looking. If it faded before its kinda irrelevant and doesnt change the gameplay. The stun def goes black tho (but not every single time) This is why im curious to see a flash clip "pre-bug" It could be diff, however the end result isnt that big a deal. Just post a clip and lets see together!

[red sapphire]

Flashbang = white screen without indicator of nade

maybe about 3:30 into the replay
my ingame tag is HaraldLP

i hope this helps

but yea i got the same bug

[covert hedge]

ive been watching some videos on youtube looking for a clip where you can see the old flash. i dont want to find the stun granade but around 1:50ish you can see the old flash where you dont get fully flashed. (ive put a timestamp in the link so you can click and be right at it): https://youtu.be/N4pT956GHmc?t=109

[manic narwhal]

Thanks @covert hedge

ah ok i clearly see it now. Thank you. Yes the flash is different as it doesnt fade. Confirmed bugged on both stun and flash. Sorry i doubted ya @tranquil oasis Flash timings are still basically the same so its kind of a non issue to me, but i can definitely see where the complaint came from. Needs to be fixed.

[tranquil oasis]

the difference is, that you could see everything and now you can't

[dark burrow]

Yeah this new flash is not fading as it used to. It makes my entire screen go white and stun makes the entire screen go black. It's been happening recently since about couple of weeks now.

[tidal lark]

flashes and stuns should be disabled until this is fixed, very annoying ppl abusing it

[dark burrow]

I agree with OP, this needs an immediate fix.

[covert hedge]

flashes are literally the no pay option....

they should implement a hotfix that disables the flash or stun effect but leaves the dmg

i use flashes on dsr to finish hitmark kills that are less than 10hp

[tranquil oasis]

I used to turn flashes or play anti flash. It's useless now...

[covert hedge]

yea

[rose verge]

black smoke

[dull pilot]

who tf plays this scope on gold wtf

[rose verge]

i do

[jagged ermine]

Why it took so long for the team to look at? Did they leave the server in Jupiter?

[icy laurel]

It has been identified as an engine related issue but unfortunately it is still unresolved. We are sorry for the delay but the team is continuing to investigate.

[manic narwhal]

no way. XDDD
