Dead and Burried Bugs and Annoyances

[Anonymous]

There's a couple of annoyances in the Dead and Buried game. Since the game was made by Oculus Studios, I was wondering if there is a better place than this to leave feedback?

1-The door opening mechanism in Robbery is useless and adds nothing to the game. It's where I experience the most bugs with Touch and it just creates a frustrating experience. I would suggest removing this aspect of the game.
2-Cover is often right outside of my Guardian boundary! This is pretty obvious, make sure players can get cover inside their Guardian boundaries. Dying a bunch because of bad design like this is a great way to make people not want to play.
3-Feet height is not well detected. Kind of goes back to number 2. When I spawn and there is only a box to cover me and I crouch and my head is still at standing height, I'm going to die really quick because of bad design. Please make sure to place our feet on the ground, especially if the cover is super low on the ground.

I don't get how the respawn works in this game, so here's hoping someone can help. Say I dive for cover on my left and end up on my knees behind a create. What am I suppose to do regarding respawn if I die in that position? Am I suppose to then stand back up before pressing the respawn button, or do I press it while I'm still on my knees dead behind the create? I usually press to respawn while I am still on my knees, but I get in a right tangle with the rifts cables and also spawn in the open stood up in the game sometimes?

I do think that the hand-tracking issues encountered during this game are in fact specific to this game. For instance, over the weekend I spent over an hour straight playing The Climb. Never once did I have a tracking issue with my hands. For those who play The Climb, you know that a single tracking glitch could potentially cause you to fall/die. Right now I'm focusing on Unlocks in the The Climb (e.g. I recently completed a full session without ever having to re-chalk); so tracking issues would hamper me greatly. But as I said, I experienced none at all.

Then there's Dead & Buried, where I am guaranteed to have one or more of the following occur:

1) One of my hands will start floating around
2) One of my guns will stay in the reload position
3) One of my guns will remain at my side without being able to retrieve it

Number 3 above tends to be funny. I will literally point my hands at the enemy and start firing, only to find that I have no gun. It can take me several tries to retrieve it, cause you can't kill the bad guys with just your fingers...

Just saw this major update today: https://www.oculus.com/blog/dead-and-buried-aims-to-please-with-guns-and-ghosts-update/

Sounds like a lot of promising changes.  Glad to see they have read our concerns and addressed them.  If this fixes a lot of matching problems, bravo!  It could really could make this my fave game with if addressed the issues in here

Long time ago i was able to play a game. but sins some months I no longer can. So the game starts, i go through repetitive tutorial, then iam presented with pedestals, i shoot to any of them, all things move out sight only coffin and falling stones remain. nothing loads. only way to exit is going to oculus home and killing dead and buried. I have tried reinstalling, i wanted for yesterdays update .. nothing helps. the game is unplayable. any ideas? thank you.
----- figured it out! all i needed is to run a game as administrator. seems the game doesnt have permissions to create a folder  - must be some win account problem.

new map is horrible

not horrible, challenging! Loads of snipers and no cover :smile:
Time to dust of those 'space pirate trainer' dodging skills.

Also, use the barrels to your advantage, you can clean up most of the middle enemies with a well timed shot.
You can even use it during the boss phases.

No Cover? I spent practically an entire round last night trying to snipe someone's head barely poking out from behind the 200 ft high perch they were camped behind the whole time, and while they had no problem shooting me, even when I had the crosshairs squarely fixed right on their head I could not make contact. (yes, I tried compensating for distance with slightly raised crosshairs but I don't think ballistics like that are calculated in this game, at least I couldn't tell a difference).

This is also inconsistent, certain "perches" are more problematic than others. I noticed this in other levels too, that the edge detection on objects around a "perch" is hit or miss at best. I also encountered a situation where I spawned with nothing but  scope and magazines, so I had to try and shoot someone over 500 yards away with a REVOLVER.

This game is very bare bones and something like a large, open sniper level really makes that apparent.

At least in the other maps, theres balances with the different weapons, so if someone is say camping with a sniper rifle and hiding well enough so no one can get them, eventually a grenade launcher will spawn to balance the situation. That cannot happen in the new map, so I'm confused as to why they would put in such crap.

I have an issue where every time my game starts I have to go through the opening tutorial and then once I’m in shootout if I take my pistols out of my holsters they are stuck in my hand until I die. But I have to be holding the grip when I pull the trigger so if I let go my hands just become useless pistols that can’t pick anything up. Anyone know of any fixes?

I had my computer crash after this problem began so I had to wipe my hard drive and start with a brand new install of Windows and reinstall all of my applications and drivers so everything is up to date.
