Here, this:

Whenever I try to run anyone over, I have to drive into them for at least a full second, its really fucking annoying, especially when an enemy drives like a metre past me and I still get squished.

Anyone on the TT team looked into any of this yet?

It's all part of the big illusion that we perpetuate on ourselves and in turn is perpetuated upon us. When we believe, we engage the illusion. When we stop believing we shatter the illusion and shatter ourselves in the process. Because we are, part of it.

I have observed the same bug. Unless they fixed it with the newest hotpatch, I'm pretty sure it's easily reproducible because it appeared to happen every single time you run someone over.

And that is how awesome the renegade netcode is. So yes, we're looking into it, but it's slightly complicated (hence some TT versions lagging less for some and lagging more for some others).

Squishes are done server-side, they already seem to work tons better with the scripts 4.0 serber.

I can't seem to reproduce anything that did not happen in stock regarding this. Are you sure it is a TT bug? (My guess is that it either also happens in stock for you or it is lag related.)

You guys should disable all physical collisions of all ENEMY infantry client side to deal with this problem; no one likes getting hung up on infantry that aren't even there or are there and it is just taking the server a second to update you and kill them your end.

It also happens for friendly soldiers though, so it's not a real fix. (Not to mention that it will look weird if you drive through an enemy soldier. Razz

)

It would not look as bad as coming to a complete stop and then suddenly hyperspacing 30 meters ahead of your previous position when the server finally updates you because you weren't stuck on the soldier at all.
