A while back I was playing on the airfield server, when I noticed something strange. A observer that was roaming showed up on my radar and in the HUD. It had no texture, but was a cyan (light blue) color, unlike the color of the rabbit in rabbit hunt servers. I was going to take a screen shot, but I died before I could. After re-spawning, it was gone.
Does anyone know what happened?

Re: Observer Bug
Observers do not (and can not) send position updates, so I don't see how what you are describing is possible.

Re: Observer Bug
I don't know what happened, i just say an observer. I also right clicked while facing the tank. It said "looking at *observer name* "
Re: Observer Bug
it was probably just some issue with the game packets and it was a player that your client saw as an observer, due to packet loss and the nature of the internet, it CAN happen. bzflag does little CRC on it's data.
