Sure everyone knows and hates this bug, reversing with the nod apc and it you press e you slide down the back taking a couple of seconds before you can do anything...

Still after 10 years I let this get me killed far too often.


Some may say this isn't a bug due to it just being a problem with the exit location being at the back...

Thoughts?

It's a bug in the Renegade physics which does not properly combine user movement and being pushed by another object. (I believe it's similar to jumping on top of a driving vehicle.)

I've already looked at it once, but I couldn't fix it in the time I allocated for it. It will require some changes to the physics system, it's not easy to fix.

Perhaps it's not easy, but it could definitely be worth it as it would fix more issues than just the nod APC transitions I'm sure.

Coolio, its on the list and thats all that I need to be happy.

Next time I die to it I can shout condolences on its short life span rather than just calling myself dumb for allowing myself to die to it.

I hate using Nod APCs because of this, especially if you keep "flying" in the air for a few seconds when exiting the APC..

i concur
kind of happens with med tanks sometimes too
you get the "i'm falling down a mountain and running in slow motion" animation
one time it happened in a light tank even, just long enough for Spoony to sweep down and kill me with an orca
i was not a happy pedestrian

one of the reasons i dont pic/med, however driving forward and getting out at the same time usually stops this.

Sometimes you have no choice but to reverse though

yeah driving forward before exiting fixes it. I never use pic+med as it's so tedious and I also dislike rep shooting with meds because of the shitty exit location compared to a light :/
