Get this to Respawn ASAP. There is a bug in Arenas mode right now that lets you crash the server by pinging your ultimate. I’m posting this because it’s going to be found eventually and I might as well let the devs know immediately

Yeah I’m confused because I’ve pinged my charged ult for both Revenant and Crypto in Arenas before with no crash

Like someone else said it's only when you have the other bug that doesn't let you ping anything or respond to other pings. I think, in hindsight obviously, they are related.

It happens whenever pings aren’t working properly in a match, by that I mean when a teammate pings a location and you can’t respond or you can’t ping a weapon or item

By using the "My Ultimate's ready!" ping it crashes the server, it shows up as a ping just as your ultimate is done charging

I mean. Is it a certain characte

Classy

just wanted to comment and say that there is a large group of us that understand these things, but aren't vocal on social media. it isn't as easy as "fix it" like a lot of fans demand online. Hope you guys are doing well and aren't getting too stressed out. keep on being awesome!

We've been trying to be downlow and intentionally not responding to this issue, because acknowledging this is going to put eyes on this exploit. Doing so will cause more pain for everyone while the hotfix itself is being prepared, which takes a few days to test on all platforms.

This is why players shouldn't use Twitter and Reddit as some sort of posterboard to call Devs or the Anti-Cheating team to look at stuff. If you send it to them through proper channels it'll still end up in their hands without letting a half-million people know it exists and how to do it.

It was the same stuff with the Charge Rifle hack; one person posts it on the front page and suddenly thousands of people are thinking about how fun that would be to try out. Next thing you know, there's 3 posts about the hack per day and the Devs who are working on a fix get overloaded with people calling them out for not fixing a problem the community blatantly proliferated.

Hopefully this doesn't blow up too much because people already complain way too much on here.

Wouldn't it then be marvelous if there was a button inside the game "Report a glitch, bug or exploit", which would bring us to a dedicated website where we could:

?

So, where is that button?

I don't think this happens all the time. I always ping my ultimate whenever it is ready and it never crashes the server.

Just wanted to give my appreciation to you devs who honestly care about the game and the players who are passionate about it (in the appropriate manner).

Please continue to make your best effort to improve the game and influence management at Respawn for the better.

Make sure to also fix the loading issue with the game. Some of us can't even get into the lobby, while CPU usage is off the charts.
