Pirate Bill Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 This was probably a one-off bug, but it sure was weird. On the ice map, just a few seconds before time ran out, I was sitting immobile on the snow outside the base, when I slowly began sinking into the snow. In the 3 or 4 seconds before the game ended, my Apollo became about 1/3 submerged. No idea whether this was just graphical or what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaitreCs Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 I've had that happen before on the raid map and the ice map - I'm thinking it might be a network lag issue since I was moving at the time and seemed to morph with a nearby rise. I've also seemed to sink and disappear completely before reappearing on the surface. For that matter - has anyone seen a distant target that seems to be floating above the terrain but is clearly a wheeled or tracked vehicle?

Netherby Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 At the end of the match I often sink into the ground.. I think it might just be from client side prediction and latency as the map ends.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weasello Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, the server stops sending you updates a few seconds before your client thinks the round ends, so you continue drifting in the direction you were going. This would be the netcode position prediction to make up for lost packets. IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
