(I did a search and looked through the pages but I could not find a post about this)

This has happened to me countless times; I'm running around on GSN #3 with lots of players, and I happen to be standing on a spawn point when a player spawned at that particular spot. What happens? My entire screen goes red, my health shows 0% and my gun dissapears. But I'm still alive, and I can shoot! Unforunately because I can't see nor hear my gun it makes it a little hard... but... does this happen to ANYONE else? Or is there any way I can fix it client side?

* It returns to normal when I die. Also, the client crashes if I try to switch weapons while in this "dead" state

ja, known bug, happens to everyone. well, everyone unfortunate enough to stand on a spawn spot. Wink

I think the bug that flickers blood extremely rapidly is more annoying than that one. I got it today while holding the flag, was on the blue team at the time, and it was hard as hell to focus on red players with my screen spazzing out. anyone know what causes that one or how to get rid of it without dying? (picking up a weapon doesn't work)

It happens a lot the times to me.

You are telefragged by a spawn point, but dont get killed.

When somebody shots you, you recovers your health minus the damage of the gun. You can still shot with the weapon that you have when you was "telefraged", but you cant grab any items.

I have seen this bug when you shot a player too... the dead corpse will wake up to take revenge Twisted Evil

So when I see dead or half-dead bodies floating around and shooting at me, is this people who are experiencing this bug, or is that something different?

Yes, just sometimes it can manifest like you said (i think, not sure).

There is another case that the player respawn beign a corpse and only some players will see him/her like a corpse. Aparently there is no symptoms to know when this bug happen to you (can still pick up items, change weapons, and your screen not blink red)... just than the people start to say that you are living corpse.

Not always. I've had that bug and people still shoot at me when I think I'm a dead corpse.

Occasionally you get totally invisible players (or a flag moving all by itself), is this down to the bug, too?

Well, you know how they say "Sometimes, dead is better"

And to The Ultimate DooMer, I've seen this before, but thankfully it doesn't occur often, and also I don't know why/how this happens Sad

This is a totally different bug, when the player joins the map before it even loads for you. It only happens after intermission.

Yeah i had that too once. The flags will appear as key cards.
So then when you take the flag, without ppl noticing, you can get it to the other base, without having the flag sprite on your back. Very Happy heh

As for the other bug, ive had that tons off times, very annoying, but the bug has both advantages as disadvantages, so therefore must be solved, imo.

This is different to that one, with this the player is totally invisible, it's kinda hard to say how often it happens as usually the only clue is either rockets coming out of no where, or you're standing in your base looking at the flag and the next second it's sliding off and round the map by itself.

I quite often think I've hit something invisible in ctf, no way to know for sure if this is the bug or just lag/packet loss on my part.
