| Summary | 0003173: Beams are too powerful | ||||
| Description | What it says on the title. I played a few FS2 missions on a recent dev build (fadd4e6), and the beams do way too much damage. In "Slaying Ravana", the Vasudan corvette brings the Ravana down from 96% to 73% in a fraction of a second with its slash beams. If the GTD Carthage takes a full beam hit from the SC Goliath on "A Lion at the Door", its hull integrity will be down to about 30% after the beam stops. And this was on "Very Easy". | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Load up any FS2 mission where beams play a significant (or not) role in the mission, such as "Slaying Ravana", or "A Lion at the Door", and notice how much damage the anti-capship and slasher beams do. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Anti-fighter beams may be affected by this bug as well. EDIT: Yep |
|
|
I checked 3.7.2 and the Ravana takes approximately the same damage. I don't know how much damage the beams should cause but it seems a bit excessive. I can't imagine such a regression slipping through multiple releases so it might be a linux-only problem. |

Could it also have something to do with the architecture? I'm using the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 15.04. The build I was using was compiled from https://github.com/scp-fs2open/fs2open.github.com/commit/fadd4e6d18811dfb20f57ca6af7dd2b5011f230c |

That may be worth investigating. Windows uses 32 bit which would explain why so few people have reported the problem. EDIT: There is also a post where something similar to this happens: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=90417.msg1794718#msg1794718 |

Just tested it using Wine and FSO 3.7.0. The Sobek does 2% of damage to the Ravana so I think it's safe to say that this is indeed a bug. EDIT: Also tried the 3.7.2 source code export and the bug doesn't happen there so it's actually not limited to Linux or 64-bit. I guess the git checkout of 3.7.2 I did to test it before wasn't actually 3.7.2. I guess now I'll have to learn how to use git bisect... |
