RA3 bug!

[old.Popeh]

Today on the FURY (hosted by jolt) server we experienced a strange bug. It seems from what i've heard that others have experienced it on other servers and long times ago aswell, so it cant have anything to do with the new q3 patch.

The way it works is that it makes a person very hard to hit.. Only a few shots hit him and as you can see in the demo from my pov i hammer him with mg and only a few shots hit him. As you can also see in all the demos we could walk through him. Another thing is that his own splash-dmg didnt hurt him, so he couldn't rocketjump.

This bug could happen in a league game just as well as it happened on our server today so it has to be looked into.

The demos: http://www.globelan.net/ra3bug.zip

With ra3bug being of my POV, ra3bug! being of corran's POV and bug1 being of Archangel's POV.

ra3 bug

just to let you all know ,this seemed to start in the middle of our practice session. I have no idea why this happened and the effects were that it seemed as though splash damage didnt effect me at all.This meant that i had alot of trouble rjing and the weired effect of ppl being able to walk through me (although what that has to do with splash damage i dont know ).
i was wondering if this might be caused by upgrading to the 129 point release then removing the pak6 file and using the original q3.exe file i read this is all you need to do to return to the 127 patch.i have done this and before today have not had any problems but i think this really needs looking into because if it happens in a clan match ......well you can see what can happen

ye..already had this bug in some friendlies(with Xe for ex).. quite boring
was 1.27g at this time..

a guy told me it was due to the timenudge,max_packet, set to a certain value..
he could n t really explain it well

so i don t know if he was right

btw it happened on UKO server, hosted by jolt..

jolt ?

seems to be both on jolt ? isn't jolt running some custom extensions like RA3 CTF etc ?

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Thos jolt servers (the RACTF ones) are totally seperate, and quite new. It's a total server side mod, and would hav no effect when it comes down to a bug in the mod.

It may have been just me but in those demos i noticed
unknown command "pl" kept appearing in the console ?
It seems you generally get these when there a version mismatch or something...
Strange things happen on the jolt servers, on the publics (ra3)everytime i get hit (frequently) everything kinda shakes
Not much help I know

that unknown command pl message appears on nearly all the ra3 demos ive seen, regardless of server or teams playing

Ah right, I should watch more demos

unknown command "pl" is, afaik, what the demo shows when the player taking the demo brings the scoreboard up.

Any idea what could be causing this to happen then ? as it seems to be happening 1 out of 2 of every clan games we have played lately.. especialy on our (jolt) server.. hmmm, is it possibly a Server problem ?
