odd bug...
« on: October 09, 2005, 02:15:20 PM »
Was offline and smacked a drone......
as soon as I collided  I got this message "User is not online"


???

Not sure if it's coincidental, but the other day I ran into refuling station, and died..
When the clipboard opened so I could respawn, the clipboard graphics were messed up. This was pre patch v3. The user not online error happened with patch3.

When I play offline the game is going 5 times faster, I feel like playing star wars :)

I can climb to the bots in 5 secs for exemple

EDIT : I forced V-sync on in my VC controls, and its normal now.

The system has a new message "HOST: {game ID} has collided with you". This is sent to the player you collide with. As the drones are not real players they are not 'online' but the system still tries to send this message.

Check 6 a drone and you get a similar message.

Yes, that's how it works waffle, like if you try to tune a radio to somebody you get that generic "user not online" popup. It's annoying. I'd rather have it in the text buffer than as a pop up.

Another way is to turn off skin caching, returns speeds to normal.
