Exiting the Station "Stutter"

Jun 19, 2003 RattMann link
Today I have experienced a new problem. Just after clicking "leave station", the view appears, the "activate" chime sounds repeatedly, the image "stutters" or
"strobes", and multiple objects explode in the distance. This is in sec 4. I use a Mac...G4 dual 1Ghz...Nvidia GE Force 4...OSX 10.2.6. What up with this?

I've noted this too. I was in 7 and had been docked for awhile. When I came out I witnessed about 7 simultaneous jump sequences in the distance and a few explosions. It appeared as if the system was updating me with all the visuals that occurred while I was docked.

I get it sort of under Linux. Whenever I undock (in sector 7 mostly, but sometimes in others), my screen fills with explosions, even when there's no one else in the sector. It's kinda strange...


PS: The mod plays Vendetta? I thought he just... Moderated...

Huh, that's wacky.
Explosions and wormhole effects are client-side and play until they're done. This means that since they don't play when you're in the station, they wait until you're out to show you. I'll have to fix that, I suppose.

its actualy really pretty if somebody nukes the station once or twice or 5 before you come out :D
