Title: How to stop alt-F4ers and those...
Post by: Kaz on June 17, 2002, 08:29:38 AM: planes that don't wanna die. ALT- R IS YOUR FRIEND. u get to see who the wimp was that so desperately wanted to keep their k/d ratio up that they abused a game feature otherwise u get to see the person who got discoed (it does happen) as for the planes that don't wanna die u'll have the evidence just make sure that u're not the one with the bad connect and that it wasn't the server causing packet losses for everyone.

It takes about 2 min for it to show up in the buffer, but if they're in your territory, you get the proximity kill (This is a feature that has been in AH for as long as I know to help curb Alt-F4). In addition, it counts as a death on their score.(Disco's too I believe)

if you are within d3.5 i think u get credit for the guy who alt-f4's or augers tryin to get away from you. The game can't tell the difference or at least has not been coded to, tell between an ack kill or an auger

Post by: Voss on June 17, 2002, 06:24:47 PM: I've been seeing a lot of what I thought was alt-F4, only to find out (after getting shot down) that there is a bug with terrain impact. I've had about ten lockups (red screen) after hitting the turf. So far, every incident has forced a reboot.

I've killed a lot of guys this tour that hit the terrain. So far, about ten of them disappeared without my seeing a kill award. However, the tally is still taken and the host will later report the kill (as much as five minutes later).

Is this what you're seeing?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the closest person gets the kill, but no perkies for it. If someone put one round in the guy 20 minutes ago, he would get the kill.
