Into the void mission bugs

Bug Report

I made a list of the main bugs of the mission “Into the void” here:

1) Creep spread bug

Description

In the mission “into the void” the AI expands as you destroy enemy fortifications. However the zerg has problems because their creep expanding strategy is flawed. They constantly try to put creep tumors in areas without creep, failing each time, then repeat. Even if they manage to put a creep tumor due to the creep generated from a swarm host, they fail to put the remaining tumors because they still try to put them in an areas where there is no creep. After some testing it seems that they purposly avoid putting creep tumors in areas with creep (!!!) - for example if the AI has marked location A for creep then if location A has creep no tumor will be put there, if location A has no creep queens will try putting a tumor there, it should be the other way around.

How to reproduce:

  • Just play the mission normally and you’ll notice the Zerg AI having trouble spreading creep even from their first expansion.

2) Kerrigan and Stukov cannot always be respawned

Description

Sometimes when Kerrigan or Stukov die, their respawn capsule won’t have a timer on it, and therefore won’t respawn them. They are indestructible too meaning you cannot A+click them to make them form another capsule, meaning they will stay dead for the rest of the mission.

How to reproduce:

  • Kill them (A+click) or wait for them to be killed.
  • The chance of spawning the bugged capsule seems to be random but inevitably happens after some deaths.

3) AI won’t rebuilt terran bases properly

Description

When you unlock terran bonus bases (the bonus objectives in the mission) the terrans put some barracks and factories with some add-ons (reactors), if however they are destroyed, the game rebuilds the structures but not with the add-on.

How to reproduce:

  • Destroy (with A+click) their base or wait for the enemies to destroy it.
  • Wait for SCVs to rebuild it, notice that the buildings won’t build their addons.

Thank you, dx4, for your detailed description of Into the Void bugs. I can confirm the creep spread failure from my playthrough of the mission (brutal). I also noticed Kerrigan staying in her cocoon indefinitely after being killed. These bugs harm the mission severely, I hope Blizzard fixes them.

I encountered another strange bug. Thought this probably has to do with the heal interaction from Kerrigan than the mission itself. I don’t know how to reproduce it. I will attach a save game though that shows the bug.

The immortal cannot be healed by the passive Spear of Adun power. The animation is on as normal but the health does not increase.

Save file:
Add “open?id=1yBtUXic1p-KzPigng_IK6c_wybjrOTpY” after the google drive com in your browser.

Sorry for that, the forum doesn’t allow me to post links for some reason.

These bugs also happen in custom maps using campaign zerg ai :frowning:
