Known Issues

• Final missions are brutal (by design). We will continue to tweak the difficulty curve, balance the AI waves, and add player guidance.

• Final mission can rarely get called early, breaking campaign

• Additional passes required on difficulty in general and unit count. Additional passes for single player balance and investigating pausing if in single player.

• Armor does not yet store its health round to round. Armor health currently recovers after each mission. This will be changed so players have to re-buy armor if it is damaged.

• Shared items can disappear from round to round

• Bombs need their effects and sounds hooked up

• Grenades that you pick up mid round are not depleted

• Updating Red Dot/Holographic sights to not block sight picture

• Reworking Pepperball optic attachments to avoid clipping

• Muzzle flashes sometimes draw through walls

• If your secondary has a laser, your primary will not have crosshairs. Changing weapons fixes this.

• Occasionally a thrown grenade will look like it lands at your feet, but will explode in the correct location. This only happens if a packet is lost at the exact time of the throw.

• Additional pass required on UI hitmakers (critical hit vs kill). Sometimes in the extracts, red hit markers appear for no reason.

• Shell casings no longer create sounds. Their collision was turned off for performance. We will fix this with a better system that does not rely on each shell casing having collision.

• AI also occasionally get stuck or do not hear gunshots. Investigating.

• AI don’t disable on mission fail

Thanks for checking out the Rogue Point Pre-Alpha Demo! We appreciate you taking the time to try it out and share your feedback.

Below is a list of known issues in this build. Some have already been fixed in ongoing development.

We’re actively tracking bugs and making improvements, so if you find anything new or have suggestions, please let us know!

Weapons and Items

• Breaching charge animation set needs updating

• When picking up Medkits and Team Revives, clients are supposed to automatically switch to that item, but they do not.

• When a client picks up a hostage, it is supposed to switch to their secondary weapon. It will keep their primary weapon out until they switch.

  • If you heal with a hostage on your shoulder, it will bring you back to your primary weapon when it should not.

• Weapons sometimes flicker for clients with higher ping. This is due to the clients and the server communicating and updating one another.

• Weapons not available in store (weapons earned in Dead Drops) do not have their attachment menu roll out.

• If you play a campaign and then enter the training level, you will have your campaign loadout when you should not.

• Occasionally as a client, grenades will appear to bounce off of an invisible wall before exploding in the correct/expected location (client prediction bug).

• If you use a medkit or grenade, the game will sometimes bring you to your secondary weapon instead of your primary weapon.

• Grenades on Ammo Stations do not highlight when they should.

• Players can fire (or sometimes move) when the mission is over.

• You can melee punch enemies through doors sometimes. 

Menus/HUD

• 3D player names appear on the Loadout menu when they should not and sometimes display “PlayerName”.

• Sometimes players do not hold their guns in the loadout menu.

• Certain guns have a second magazine visible (Bauer .40 and Pepper Gun)

• Sometimes depleted items do not turn red on your HUD.

• Boonie Hat has the wrong headphone occlusion mesh.

• If clients leave a lobby while in Loadout, their weapons are left behind.

Level Design

• Green extract smoke flares spawn at 0,0 instead of at the extract zone.

• Operators have black eyes on Oil Rig level (their location during Loadout is underwater and there are no reflection captures down there…).

Audio

• Some ping lines do not have attenuation.

• The Hammer shotgun, only available in Dead Drops, does not have reload sounds yet.

  • Some other weapons may also have WIP sounds
