Hey there - I've been searching for a general bug-collecting-thread, but since I didn't found one, I wanna list up some bugs which have been happening to me recently. If someone's getting the same probs, I would appreciate a comment!
- I think the most annoying thing is that the option "Disable Windows Key", which is very cool, disables my Windows key even outside of SC2. + Show Spoiler +
I have got a Microsoft Digital Media 3000 Keyboard if that helps..., since I think there could be some probs with the driver or something..
- The second thing is that during a 1v1 match on Steppes of War my game screen turned black all of a sudden. This was quite strange since the HUD was still visible, and the game itself was pitch black. With the mouse icon I could locate where the buildings were, and they reacted on clicking (I heard the sound), but as you could guess I lost that match. Kinda... strange.
- The third thing I noticed (which isn't quite a problem, but I noticed it) that the sounds doesn't overlap. If I build stuff, stuff is completed, if I click on buildings, every time I do that I hear only one sound at once. The other sound has been cut of by the next one, which sounds rather strange at some moments.
- And the last one is a bit unspecified, because the came crashed at least 2 times in the first seconds after I saw my Nexus. Gladly this has not been counted as a loss for me.
So.. yeah, I wonder if someone's getting the same probs because a few of them are getting a lot on my nerves...

People who play Beta don't look for bugs

I think this will be a useful thread, I was thinkin of starting one myself.
I think we should all follow AdunToridas' format for bugs so that it's nice and clean.
Here's what I experienced:
- When I click on my ladder page, the wrong name is highlighted instead of mine. Usually the person that is 1 spot below me on the ladder is highlighted. (not sure if it's one spot lower or one spot higher, will have to double check that)
Edit: oh, turns out AdunToridas didn't use the list function.

Confirm, it's one step lower.

Yeah, I get the same bug with the ladder.

Many of these bugs are already reported on the Blizzard forums themselves....in fact they probably all are.
http://forums.battle.net/board.html?sid=5000&forumId=25498616
This is a useful thread though if people just want to confirm their bugs with other people as Blizzard doesn't usually respond to bug posts (doesn't mean they're not working on them).
Personally a couple bugs that annoy me:
the large white splotch in the bottom corner of the 3D Archon portrait.
that horrible squeaky glitchy sound that seems to coincide with a MULE being dropped anywhere on the map at anytime, even in Fog of War. This sound glitch is confirmed though it is inconsistent and I am not sure if they know what causes it yet. The MULE is a theory.
|
My rank keeps glitching i keep having to re-do plaecments to get into platinum which is discouraging :/
Other than that, SC2 isnt much a game where tesers want to test for bugs, more to test for imbalences in the game / playing ^^
|
My mouse cursor doesn't show on the loading screen 95% of the time.
|
I once experienced a very bad bug.
I saw how enemy's probe was attacking the rocks while it was is fog of war, I didn't saw the probe itself, but I saw its attacking animation.

i think actually that its supposed to not show the cursor. so ye 5% bug xd
i do hope they change so u always see the cursor tho, so u can split ur workers well in the start
i crash about 10 times per day minimum so i laff at this thread

These bugs don't really affect my playing experience but should be addressed.
- I cannot view my 1v1 Ladder Division. I can see my rank by using my profile but when I go to the Ladder Section, it shows that I only have a 2v2 Random Ladder.
- There seems to be a limit of how many friends I can add to my Friend List. When I try to add more people, there is no error stating that I cannot add another player or even why I can't. When I check my list I discover that the person was not added correctly.
- When I log in for the first time for a play session, my portrait does not load properly. Neither does my point level. I usually fix this by logging out and then logging back in.
This following 'bug' has a very large effect on my playing experience
- During the first game that I play I will invariably experience a bout of sharp lag spikes. The game becomes unplayable both for myself and my opponents. The lag usually lasts anywhere from 4 minutes to 6 minutes. It ALWAYS occurs for the FIRST game. Starting a game and quitting right away doesn't allow me to avoid this either. I have to experience the whole thing. Isn't it crazy that I get lag playing against the computer? Also, if my first game of the session is a replay I will lag in the replay! WTF! To get around this and to spare my opponents the frustration, I start my first game against the computer and try to micro through the crazy lag. Every game after the first runs smoothly. At first I thought maybe this was an issue with my internet, but since it only happens during the first game and not any others, I am not as sure anymore. Any ideas?
|
Today I went on a crashing spree. Three times in a row during loading screen I crashed
|
- When your overseer is floating over water or a cliff (a place where it cannot drop a changeling), it will give you an "ERROR CANNOT DROP CHANGELING HERE" even if you use the shift command to drop the changeling over land (after issuing a move command). This is annoying, because you can shift queue up commands with units like the vikings without them giving the same error.

Tank doesn't finish production sometimes. It gets stuck at 100% and doesn't pop out of the factory.

As I started my sc2 today...
A patch was downloaded with the usual patching screen. It said patching v0.14.0
There were no patch notes displayed.
After "patching" I log in to play a game.
I random as usual.
During load screen: I get text such as "UI/MultiplayerLoading map" instead of the Blistering Sands and instead of Help text at the bottom by the loading bar it is "UI/helptext01" etc.
In game:
-my keyboard doesnt work at all except for ALT+F4.
-many scroll over text is just "UI/gametext/02" or whatever.
anyone else getting this?

I'm getting the exact same thing. It was my placements, too >.>

O, haha. I thought it was some graphics thing because I also only see the attack radius of defense buildings some of the times. I can usually see the zerg ones, but almost never the turret or the cannon.
|
After playing a 2V2 with a friend, my SC2 doesn't recognize my rank anymore. When I go to the multiplayer screen, it always says "5 placement matches remaining".
There is an easy work around though. Promote the friend in your party to leader, have him promote you back and the problem is solved.

Omg, sorry that ^^ Just fixed it.
|
Don't know if this bug is only happening to me but when I click the ladder icon to see what is my standing withing the league, the player name that is highlighted (and that is supposed to be my name) is always the name below mine. It's nothing major but annoying.
|
Some of the replay shortkeys still aren't working:
-'E' (to view everyone)
-'P' for pause ('P' for unpause actually works fine)
|
- If you remap the "toggle sound" hotkey (CTRL+S), then hitting CTRL+S will still toggle sound and overwrite any other command mapped to CTRL+S. The new hotkey for toggle sound works at the same time. This probably extends to the "toggle music" hotkey, but I didn't test that.
About the wrong ladder highlighting: This only seems to be the case for people ranked 9th or lower. Earlier in the beta there was a blank line between 8th and 9th place, this has been taken out but the game still highlights the same position (Which is a sign for bad object design in the game code btw).
|
I was playing a custom with my friend and in an area I had explored (but was covered in FOW), I could see his mules dropping. I forgot the name of the map. It has two metal bases and you have to go down and around to get to the other base; there's one gold at the bottom and a faster destructible path between bases. Sorry for the bad description.
Also this was pre patch 12

Use the official Blizzard forum to report these, posting here may get good discussion going but it will not have any effect on the bugs being fixed.

scvs can repair bunker when its inside of the bunker, this bug should be resolved
also sometimes when i click ladder button, game freezes t.t

have you seen the bug report forum? It's terrible. Poorly documented bugs, people reporting their gameplay problems as bugs ("Carriers are too strong! blizz please fix this bug"), and some flat out wrong bugs (like this one). Not to mention if you report a bug it falls off the page in less than 10 minutes.
|
I've seen mules drop in fow too. It was on lost temple (I think?). My opponent expanded to th gold next to my natural. It seems like the object from which the mules get sent is in a fixed position in the sky, and if their flying trajectory is near you units/base, you'll see them flying past; even though their final position is hidden. Kinda silly.
- When I go multiplayer, I get my league, but my rank says undefined. I can see it fine in my ladders though.
|
I've lost use of my minimap in one of my games after patching to 13. It was just completely black.
|
more bugs
-cannot add friends to friends list, it won't make the confirmation "beep" or what not
-sometimes can't access ladder pages, it'll just show a blank page, or not go to any page
|
Not sure if this is just me, but I can't hear any sounds of the Battle.net GUI. I can hear in-game things as well as if I press Esc and navigate the menus while on Battle.net, but I can't hear anything Battle.net produces (eg: Clicking on Find Match and a noise signals searching for players)
|
Is it just me, or the game is really, really laggy, to the point I can't play anymore. Probably server being overfilled?

Either bnet is having problems for people logging in or their "improvements" made it laggy as hell, probably have to wait awhile before calling it an issue ;x
|
I just found a bug:
2nd game on Kulas Ravine and the mini-map was just black the entire game for no apparent reason, was in the replay as well.

I'm having the same problem atm. I have played the beta since the start and I have never lagged before in a game. I have played 4 games so far and each one the game was lagging badly and I think it was me and not my opponent.
|
anyone else having an issue where if you tab out of sc2 you can't tab back in? 
|
Replay's seem to be slightly bugged. The minimap is all black.
|
Waaaay too much lag tonight. Maybe due to b.net servers serving up the patch.

I noticed a few people mentioning frequent crashes in this thread. As a software developer myself, I can't stress enough how important it is to fill out the crash report and send it whenever this occurs. Even if it's the same crash situation as earlier and even if you don't feel like you have any information to add. Be verbose and be specific. For example, don't just write "It crashed after I joined a game." Write "I just joined a 2v2 match. My partner was the group leader. I was zerg, and we were on Kulas Ravine. The crash occurred immediately after the loading screen but before the game was displayed. It was my first game of the night. I had just finished watching a replay." The more detailed the crash reports, and the more data they have on a particular crash, the more likely it is that they'll be able to track it down and fix it.

kingjames:
Sounds like game files are being loaded as the game progresses and SC2 lives on a slow/stressed hard drive. Once they are cached in memory, the problem goes away. Definitely not internet related since it's tied to the beginning of the first game and happens even in single-player scenarios. It's not clear that this is a bug per-se - it certainly could be but this sounds more like an issue with a stressed machine.
|
just put a marine into a bunker and it dissapeared! wtf blizz....
|
They can't possibly end the first phase of the beta with this many bugs. :O
|
Crash when i was login, some hotkeys don't work, and the most important thing, the HORRIBLE lag!!!
|
Hah - Not sure if this is the "black screen bug" you're referring to, but I just played a 1v1 where minimap was blacked out. I was receiving alert pings on the minimap, and could click-drag scroll, but other than that it was all black.
Furthermore, when I watched the replay (I somehow managed the win, its a good practice in managing hotkeys, lol) the minimap was still blacked out. A previous game replay I loaded up, and the minimap was blacked out there too, even though when I played that other game it wasn't.
I logged out, and logged back in, and the issue was resolved. The new patch must've forgotten(failed) to load a non-essential package or something. Just thought I'd point this out.

my opponent once sent a probe to my base to scout and it had 14/14 health instead of 20/20. I easily denied him the scout, but felt bad cause he had much less hp than he should have. It was really weird.
