I don't know why I've only just remembered about this, but it could use fixing in my opinion.

Unfortunately I haven't the faintest idea what causes it, and no-one I've spoken to about it seems to know either. It happens in maybe one in a thousand games. But when it DOES happen, it turns the game into a farce.(I've had it exactly twice, and both games became a complete joke... 1st game, I was GDI on Field and I was killing arties in three med shells.... The other time I was Nod on Islands and I was killing their APCs with four rav zaps)

Sadly the only way to fix a bug is to either:
1. Have the source code and look through it.
2. The bug be easily reproducable so repeated tests can be done to track it down.

Since the bug you mention is a rare occurance, much like when your vehicle suddenly falls through the map (happened to my mammoth a couple days ago), theres no way we can figure out what is causing it in order to fix it.

Vehicles falling through map happens once in a while...

But this error seems so rare that it wouldn't be any real threat, right?

It's true, it doesn't happen on any kind of regular basis. It's just that when it DOES happen it totally wrecks the game

Tankclash was scoring suspiciously high on a regular basis. This is a rare occurence, they're not the same thing.

Perhaps something more important to relook is spelling & grammar.

yea spelling it was actually a typo not a spelling error... so.. stfu
and for grammer i dont give a shit this is not school.. im not gonna fail the test if i dont add grammer

and its not hard to score high in a game take a look at some of the pits members always pointwhoring.. its not hard
it amazes me tho.. that he cheated so much in pits yet he plays the same in n00bstories and nobody calls him a cheater.. well except the n00bs

but still back to the bug
i dont think this as ever happened to me

I didn't "tell" you to do anything. You might do well to actually fix your typos before you submit your posts, so they don't look so horrible. It amazes me how some people take offense to what you say, even when you spend a minute thinking of a non-rude way to say it. Might as well have said everything explicitly the first time.

About the ban. This damage stuff wasn't so well known at the time he was banned. The actual reasons were pretty different. I didn't witness this, but apparently he'd been doing a lot of damage to vehicles with chaingun officers and the like. Search the pits forum, I'd check problem players section.. you'll find some stuff on it. Look for posts by msgtpain.

I've never witnessed this "double damage" bug myself in 1 & a half years of playing.

Like I said, it's very, very rare. I've played Renegade a year, maybe a year and a half. Happened to me twice.

Tankclash "cheating" in the pits doesn't surprise me... we've all done that :rolleyes:
