Odd Radar/Controlls

Feb 16, 2006 lukasn link
I was killing TyCorps in Verasi (don't know the sector. it's the one close to the wormhole to Edras with only TyCorps in it) when suddenly my radar went blank. Then the controlls went crazy, and my ship was spinning around uncontrollable.
When i got killed, i just saw the image of the remainings of my ship for 'bout a minute. Then the loading screen appeared and i was sent back home. After i launchedfrom the station, the radar went blank again and the screen went black for about 10 secs. after that all worked fine again.

I'm using the standard client. (not the test one)

EDIT: Oh, i'm using MacOS X 10.4 btw
EDIT2: I forgot: i also coudn't shoot, after the radar went blank.

This sounds very much like what happens when you experience extreme lag due to your internet connection going all wonky.

Use /ping to see what your latency normally is, and run it again if you should start to notice anything odd.

Yeah, definitely sounds like the Temporal Displacement bug (Major lag spike on your connection, or packet loss). Best solution to that when it happens is to log out, wait a minute or two, and log back in. You might lose your ship, but you'll save a few minutes of "WTF was that?!"
