Stats not saving is not that simple (A detailed first-hand account)

[89ShadowUK]

I have been told that I have killed 124 soldiers, and died 115 times, this I believe to be true.

However I have been told that none of those kills were Headshots, Assists, etc, when I can't tell you how many times I've put a Kar98 round through someones head, I remember this, because it's a satisfying kill not easily forgotten.

I've also been told I've killed 5 tanks, I've never even attempted to kill one yet, I've just stayed out of their way.

My favourite class is aparently Rifleman, when in fact it should be Squad Leader, my favourite weapon is the DP-28 LMG, when in fact I'm usually using the Tokarev SVT, Kar98k, MP40, G41. I've used the DP-28 maybe five times, mind you, whenever I use it on Apartments, I do kill whole squads in single spawns, so I don't know, I assume it's based on time usage.

And last but not least, I have XP in Engineer, and I am aparently level 3 - this cannot be true, because I've avoided the class so far, as I'm more of an infantry kinda guy.

I think the stats do need to be fixed and then reset, some peoples are working, and it's not fair that they should all stay as they are when fixed, for example, I'll have skill in the Engineer Class, that I haven't worked for, or earnt, no sense in that.

Who in the world has accuracy of 4000% though?

Good point, it might not be the only thing... Or it might just, simply and plainly, be completely shafted

The only thing that goes up is my honour level and that changes when you look at your stats screen. At the end of a round I occasionally see some guns stats being recorded but it's never registered when I check the in game stats menu afterwards. I have no stats whatsoever for any weapons.

To be honest I don't much care I just want the ping and constant random crashes fixed.

 

[Ravemind]

I haven't noticed anything in-match, I just played a bunch of games and got my honour up, then exited later and went to check my profile and it was clean. 0 games played, 0 total people killed, I had 83 honour points rank 3 or something which as far as I can remember was how it has always been.

 

[Zounas]

My stats are all over the place. Favourite class is elite rifleman and I've never played that class. I have over 100 kills with scoped kar and I know I've only killed like 5 dudes with it. But my favourite stat can be seen in the screenshot. It says I have over 40000% accuracy with my mp40. This issue needs a dev statement and fast and the thread needs to be stickied.

 

[Gaizokubanou]

LOL imagine killing 400 people with single shot from mp40!

Of course, stats ARE working for some players:

I'm sure I missed some but I tried to get most of the recent ones. Just wanted to put them all in one place for reference.

my experience might be slightly different to most.

Only my rifleman class and bolt-rifle weapons actually save anything.
class xp, kills, unlocks, stats all save with just the rifleman.

No matter what server im on

everything else resets.

Dev response from earlier today

Dev response from earlier today

Most have probably seen it, but this is what was posted earlier today. As of now, they ARE aware of the problem, but since they haven't been able to reproduce it, my guess is a fix is at least a few days away. At least they are aware of the issue.

So far we've been unable to reproduce the issues with progression not working locally. We know a lot of people are saying they are having issues, but so far we can't get it NOT to work. We're looking into it, and as soon as we can reproduce the issue we'll get right on fixing it.

One thing to be aware of is that you have to finish a round for the stats to be saved. We're going to add some messaging in an update soon to make people aware of this.

This whole fiasco reminds me of the starting days of BF2.
Back then, the points you earned would usually have a delay of 12+ hours, and sometimes get lost completely.

Yep. I remember having to wait a full day sometimes, in the beginning, to get your rank unlocks. As they unclogged the pipes all the data started flowing a lot faster.

Also, some of us just do want honest feedback and data on how we're doing. If it doesn't concern some folks, fine. But why are others coming down on us? Tripwire put the feature in, they need to support it. Any of the data is meaningless if its merged with 13,200% accuracy on a rifle you never used. You'd spend years playing to winnow that down to its true value.

When the problem is this rampant and they can't reproduce it in house, that worries me a lot

Horray, ive got more random stats! Jumped from lvl 33 to 43 and got my SVT from around lvl 5 to 15! Also note I played with commander like 8 times since EVER (beta included).
Could it be related to changing teh steam nickname? Was playing as Noobsif for a few days and recently changed to Ivan for the luls.

 

[Zounas]

bump in hope for dev response to this fiasco

 

[Hesgad]

its really really bad why do make an ranking system when you cant make sure it works we told them its bugged since beta and they keep telling us we cant reproduce it...I mean seriously

 

[b0sco]

1. Join server a friend is claiming has working ranking
2. Gain two ranks
3. Leave server, check stats: Lost (!) two ranks from where I started
4. ???
5. Ass

 

[nebsif]

trololol, my stats stopped saving on Old Gits but I keep getting random "promotions" from time to time, w/o playing with it at all, my MP-40 is now lv 15, few days more and ill have MP40/II, another week and i'll have it cross team unlocked.

Even if it would have worked the unlock system is derp at best, when it doesnt work or works very randomly its even worse. Where are you my sweet PPSH drum? :'(

"Fixed Ranked vs. Unranked issues. It really works this time. Really Really"

keep the promise TWI!

 

[Deist]

I hope no one is getting their panties in a wad just yet. Im eager to start upgrading my mg-34 but if they cant reproduce this bug it may take some time to fix.

I am starting to wonder if they use a number of servers in arrays to track stats. If so it could be possible that there is a hardware failure on 1 of the arays that some players use and others do not. This would explain why they cannot reproduce the bug, if they were using a different array than other players.

I have worked on mods for games from BF 1942 to Mount and blade and I have seen some crazy bugs that were very hard to reproduce. I think TWI is trying hard to fix it.

These guys get a vacation after they get the bugs worked out so I assure you they are trying everything they can to fix it.

 

[cato12]

the only way forward from this mess is to firstly figure out why all these stats are being randomly generated. surely it shouldnt be that difficult, RO2 isnt the 1st FPS in history to track stats online.

and secondly we then need a stat reset or the whole system is pointless.

stats are a big thing for me. i like to see how im progressing and they give me more of an incentive to play.

the silence of the devs on this issue is worrying though. i think if they were gonna do a stat reset at some point they would have said by now right?
