That "force" is the host rig and your rig trying to figure out where in the Renegade map your "true" location is.


as you move - your world coodinates are passed to the host - which in turns sends updates to anyone around you - so everyone is about where they are seen.


if you start to lag - or go out of sync - you may be shifted around - as your rig and and the host "argue" where your really at.

Worst case - you get transported into a wall or fall through the map (the "blue hell")

Best case - you seem to skate around ("popping") around the terrain.

Similar to when a sniper goes into scope mode - they seem to "pop" in and out of view (or shift side to side).


The more players - the more traffic - the host rig specs -maps - all make a difference in seeing this.


Thats why you should put on client_physics_optimization (hit the ~ when in game - then hit c - and selecting the command) on when you start Renegade - it cuts some of the junk out.
