GZW Patch 2: Final Phase of Testing

[h3]The FINAL Gray Zone Warfare Patch 2 PUBLIC TESTING is here. Thanks to your feedback, we have made numerous improvements to Patch 2 and added a major rubberbanding fix that we need to stress test with your help.[/h3]

[h3]Patch 2 Testing Final Reprosteps Solo:[/h3]

Players in coma can't be shot:

1. Join the PvEvP server (Warfare) in a squad or find a teammate
2. Player 1 shoots Player 2 until Player 2 falls into a Coma.
3. Player 1 kills Player 2 while he is in a Coma.
Result: Player 2 should die after being shot while in Coma. If not, please mark what Player 2 was doing before falling into a coma and if they were able to skip coma and respawn?

Lights inside buildings are flickering:

1. Connect to the server
2. Go to multiple buildings
3. Observe the behavior of the light
Results: The light should not flicker.


[h3]Patch 2 Testing Final Reprosteps Squads:[/h3]

Squad VOIP issues:

1. Invite at least 1 player into the squad.
2. Turn off the squad VOIP in audio settings.
3. Try to communicate through voice with other squad members.
4. Check that the player that has the VOIP turned off is unable to hear other party members and that other squad members are unable to hear that player.
Result: A player should not hear other squad members, nor should they hear the player after deactivating squad VOIP. If that is not the case, please mark what you were doing before changing the settings.

The Squad Leader is unable to invite a player to the squad after kicking them.

1. In the lobby (Main Menu), Player 1 creates a Squad with Player 2.
2. Player 1 kicks Player 2 from the Squad.
3. Player 1 opens the Friends tab and attempts to invite to squad the Player 2 again.
Result: Player 1 should be able to invite Player 2 back into the squad after kicking them. If not, please mark what happened before.
