This is the first time this has ever happened, i joined the game and from there on, the player list and names were totally screwed.

The main screenshots i'd like to focus on are...

Just after i joined, players all have scores, but the team scores are zero

Girlix appeared to be on Nod, but was infact on GDI.

Somehow, girlix managed to treasonously kill... herself.

The game ended, and we have TWO girlix's and TWO rippedgut players.

Throughout the game, many players had duplicate entries in the player list...

More screenshots are here...

Totally confused me, i asked everyone else, and they were having no problems, and couldn't see the second girlix/rippedgut.

hahaha, the both teams having 0 is something I've seen, it should fix its-self after some moments.

Nod-name coloured GDI player, or vice versa is common enough, it's just an error that ghosts a player. They could probably fix it by leaving and joining again.

And I think the other stuff is just client side. A similar bug to that is there appearing to be 33 players in the game (17 vs 16) when the game max is 32 and everyone else sees the right amount. I've never seen duplicate players though.

I've encountered this "player in wrong team" bug often, WOL somehow seems to mix players in the game. (And pages to these persons actually get redirected another person).

Actually having them leave would fix nothing, I've tried this with a few cooperative players. Weirdly enough, it's *you* who are the problem....if you rejoin, everything is normal.

The problem with team not having a score should fix itself soon like fox said, maybe it's just a problem with fetching the info from the server?


There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

Yes I've seen this too, but I've never seen a person on both GDI and NOD on the scoreboard. I've just seen a GDI with red text. Treasonously killing noddies.

Do you think its maybe an unforseen side effect of Renguard? Sometime in the near future the Renguards will turn on us, and we'll have to suit up, grab our futuristic M16 smashed into a spas shotgun Movie assault rifle and take back whats ours... End up blowing up the entire renegade while diving off a platform grabbing onto the landing gear of a orca esque aircraft and flying away while shielding our eyes from the gigantic explosion. Then we'll have a buncha scientists sit around and realize they shoulda known that they should have commented out the takeOverRenegadeAndKillAllHumans(); from the scripts.dll... lol

He's right, I've seen more players join as the name "Renegade"(another wol bug) in the last week than in the last 6 months.

More people are noticing these bugs now because they're happening 3x as much as they used to......Anyone know what might be causing this?

I've noticed them since a few months after I started playing Renegade, it gets annoying really. I saw someone earlier today playing on All Out with the nick "Renegade"...I wonder if Nightma will give me the ok to kick people exploiting those bugs, because some of them can give a person an advantage over the other team, even his/her own teammates Confused
But ya, Aimbots & Renx are right.

It's not exploiting a bug, it's like Scy said, if you leave and come back it will be fine. Sometimes the server sees the name like that too, but you can't make the server leave and come back....

I'm seriously doubting this cause i had seen this months before renguard was released like Drkpwn3r said.

Boy if you couldn't tell that was a joke... Go grab your futuristic Asault rifle... I'll meet you at the Renegade in 15 mins... I have to go pick up some plasma grenades at Ace Hardware...

:rolleyes:
