Title: Weird thing with kill messages!
Post by: Naudet on April 07, 2002, 10:15:58 AM

Today i encountered the following mysterious kill message phenomenon:

I attack an enemy, i score hits on him, and he flies on, tumbles down or anything like that. But no sign of a kill yet.
But i get a kill message.
Than 2-5 seconds after i get the kill message the enemy bails from his plane or the plane simply disappears.

What is that? Is the server predicting my future? Might it also be that soon i get death messages before i actually die?

It's called lag... no need to call in the FBI just yet.

Dowding, i am just wondering.

My pings are the same since months, and i never never got such funny things happening.

I've seen it myself, Naudet. Just last night in the scenario, in fact. Usually happens in areas with lots of planes etc.

Most of the time things are ok, though.
