Bug - Ball Carry Mistake?

[Live-Wire]

For the first time ever, last night, I witnessed a strange bug. In ?go ip of SSCX Hockey Zone, during a league game, a player without the ball permanently showed his name red, followed by "(Ball)", as if he was carrying the ball. This did not change when he got the ball and when he passed it away. I cured the problem by leaving the arena and rejoining, but later it happened again to another player. Again I left and returned, and I haven't seen this since.

 

My specifications are the same as they have been since .39pr1 came out - I use that, WinXP, GeForce4 4600 - don't know what else you might want.

 

Anyway, while this isn't a crash-bug or anything totally serious, it makes it hard to play HZ well. I had to quit the arena and come back during a league game - good thing it didn't happen at an inopportune time.

 

This bug was reported to me by another person as well, but no one else seemed to be experiencing it.

Interesting. The client draws the red name for the player it thinks has the ball/puck. I can't even think of a packet sequence where you would observe the ball changing possession and not see the names change colors.

It also showed the real person who had the ball. It was as if there were 2 balls, one being permanently (no carry time) carried by a person... but he could also catch and throw the other ball.

Um off topic Deadly?

 

Perhaps you and the other player that witnessed this was lagging? Probably not true, but perhaps a setting was changed by a bot during the league game that was changing settings like Latency sets causing this?;/
