Beta Client Known Issues Weekend #3

Please keep in mind that the version of The Secret World you will be playing this Beta Weekend is not the final version of the game. Several features and elements are continuously being tweaked and parts of the game will be improved before launch.


GENERAL

• Players may see sliding animations when loading into their hub for the first time on a new character.
• Deleted characters may reappear on your character selection screen.
• Your character's idle animations will occur very often, and quickly after you stop movement.
• You cannot climb ladders in Anima form. If you die on top of a building accessible only by ladder, you will not be able to reach your body.
• If you cannot resurrect at a specific anima well be sure you have discovered the anima well first.
• The /stuck command does not always recognize your character as being stuck. If you are stuck and this command does not work, try using /reset to suicide your character, use your Agartha Conduit, or contact Customer Service via the ingame /petition command.
• You may experience a small drop in performance when entering the barricade to the Sheriff's Office in Kingsmouth.
• The functionality of Cabals is disabled for this Beta Weekend.
• London - If you spam the ESC button when the client is transitioning into the cinematic for The Fallen King, your client may crash.
• Opening the browser and closing it with the X button rapidly will eventually make the browser stop working entirely or crash the application.
• While using the crafting window or gear manager window, your keyboard may on rare occasion become unresponsive. Use the mouse to click in the chat window and type /reloadui to fix this.
• Trade: Drag-dropping items while player trade is confirmed will cause both players to become stuck in the trade window.
• Pausing the mission Pistols in the Crucible and resuming it after trying another weapon will not grant you another pistol to complete this mission.
• NPCs in London may load slowly the first time you run through the area.

CLIENT

• Players may experience random crashes while in dungeons.
• Client may occasionally crash when training multiple skills or abilities.

COMBAT

• The Elemental ability Ignition causes any item on the player's back to flip around when attacking with left hand.
• Some abilities, such as the Pistol ability Win-Win and Hammer ability Raging Volcano, are missing spell effects and animations.

• The Assemble button of the Crafting GUI incorrectly lights up when trying to use a toolkit which require a different material quality.

DRESSING ROOM

• Glasses are too opaque.

• The group gui cannot be moved, but it can be collapsed.
• Melee Resources flash constantly when out of combat.
• Skill Point purchase button displays cost as 1 SP when cost is 10 SP (text is truncated).
• In the ability search, all costs are 13 AP instead of the actual cost.

MISSIONS

• To avoid spoilers, the investigation missions past Kingsmouth Town have been disabled.
