Odd respawns II - Invisible & "Drunk"

(AssortedStuff) #1

Adding to Tast1c’s bug report I also experienced another similar bug on the occasional respawn.

I would respawn invisible and would have difficulty moving, as if drunk.
I would describe it as if the movement keys would randomly switch their assigned directions between them, and then back again - repeating ad infinitum.

Suiciding and respawning would make it go back to normal. I didn’t detect a pattern for this bug to happen but it happened quite a few times. Can’t remember if it only happened with a specific mercenary or several.

i had the same
the “drunk” effect comes becaus it doesn’t matter to what direction you are viewing… you movement is based on you direction of view as you respawned…

Ah! Hadn’t thought of that. Could be it.

This is a really annoying bug atm - seems to happen every so often after death and respawn. Weapon will fire (or change to a random different weapon), doing no damage and apparently invisible to other players. /kill seems to be the only fix.

Also noticed a player (in Dome) running around shooting after the map ended (during score / xp screens).

There is a thread for that bug as well.

Would have loved to see that :slight_smile:
