Bots stop taking damage

Nov 15, 2007 eternity link
Hello,

I've noticed that on occasions that when fighting bots there comes a point where no matter how much you shoot they don't take damage. Also there is occasionally while this happens your craft gets damage, even though there doesn't seem to be anything shooting at it.

I've noticed that this happens after I hold down the fire button and rapid fire spray the area. If I burst fire a few shots this behaviour doesn't seem to occur.

So I think there is a bug with how the game handles rapid firing of shots. This is what I have been initially doing (since I'm new to the game) - approach bot, and hold down the fire button - and I've been getting rather fustrated with the issue above, causing me to die 4 times.

I can enjoy the game now that I've worked out this issue, but it would be nice if it could get looked at.

What's your internet connection speed? That problem sounds like a network lag issue.

i dont know if this is the same thing but queens on some critical skirmish also become fire proof for a while,tested for lag and all was well,
but if i got within 500m and fired all chaos then the damage all of a sudden hit at once.

suppose it could be VO lag and not net lag.

my connection speed is cable - thing to note is that when this happens i can still /ping, and get consistent results (200ish ping).

I noticed this last night while killing Denteks. On two occassions, I could see and hear the AGT shots hitting the bot, yet it took no damage.

Ping at the time was around 110.

I noticed this to with the dentek's for the past day or 3. I think it is happening when they are on the way out of the sector.

I also noticed that it takes longer for the cargofind plugin to cycle thru the radar objects than before, about 2-3 times longer.

I noticed the same with cargofind as well.
