DOCUMENTED FINDINGS
Five issues found.
Each report includes reproduction steps and expected versus actual results.
Loading screen takes too long
Game start or area transitions can remain on the loading screen for an unusually long time or become stuck.
Steps to reproduce
- Open Need for Seat.
- Start a game session or transition to another area or map.
- Observe the loading screen duration.
Expected
Loading completes within 5–10 seconds.
Actual
The loading screen remains for an unusually long time or gets stuck.
Player gets stuck near shattered wall
After a glass door breaks through a wall, the player becomes trapped in the broken area.
Steps to reproduce
- Move the character near a glass door and wall.
- Make the glass door hit the wall until it breaks.
- Try to move through the broken wall area.
Expected
The character can pass through the debris without abnormal collision.
Actual
The character becomes trapped where the wall broke and cannot move.
Wall becomes see-through from some angles
An intact wall turns transparent or invisible depending on the camera angle or player position.
Steps to reproduce
- Go to a corridor or room with several intact walls.
- Change the camera angle or character position while facing another wall.
- Observe the wall surface.
Expected
Solid wall surfaces consistently block the view of areas behind them.
Actual
A wall becomes see-through and reveals the area behind it.
Player passes through NPCs
Some NPCs do not have an effective collision boundary.
Steps to reproduce
- Find an NPC standing in the play area.
- Move the character into the NPC.
Expected
The player collides with the NPC or triggers an intended physical interaction.
Actual
The player moves through the NPC model without interaction.
Character position and animation glitch
The character sporadically snaps position or breaks out of standard animations.
Steps to reproduce
- Use standard controls while moving through different areas.
- Observe character movement and animation over time.
Expected
Character movement and animation remain stable and smooth.
Actual
Position or animation glitches occur intermittently.
