Mixing with other player

[Guest Outlaw]

-*BAD WORD*-o.

 

I was playing in ?go base in TW and I noticed that when I pressed f2 five times there was another player name first on the list (normally it's your name when you press it).

 

Well that didnt bug me that much but then that same player was subbed in to the game and he was warped normally to the spawn area, the weird thing is, I was warped too!

 

Then the weird thing started, I couldnt see that player at all. All that I could see was his bullets flying from nowhere. And I also noticed that I got his kill/death messages in yellow too.

 

This stopped when I specced. Very weird thing..

 

Here's a screenshot from it, I took a lot of screenshots but most of them got corrupted

It may have been a server error. It sounds like the server thought that you were the other person. Changing frequencies (speccing) may have forced the server to refresh your information, ending the problem. Don't take my word for it, though.

could well be, the pakets have efinatly been sent from the server indicating the kill.

 

Question is is this a client error (i.e the client sorths out own player messages and highlights)

 

or a server error (server packets send packets with informantion that You have been killed or another player has been killed)

 

I dont know enough about the client server relationship to answer that but mabye somone can enlighten us on how the kill messages work.
