Can't respawn

Post by widowmaker »

After I was 'flattened' when I was carrying the burrow flag I can't respawn. BZ is still running but it won't respond to the right mouse button or i on the keyboard. Anyone else had this happen?

This happens to me too. Also when not using BU.
I don't need huge pictures here.

Yes, this happens to me rather frequently. And many others have mentioned it. It only seemed to start happening on Dec 16, perhaps a new server version at xmission ? I also can't get in in observer mode, same problem ... right click / 'I' doesn't work.

seen this mentioned on the irc channel, i personally have never had it happen........but then again, i dont use BU that much. however, from the conversation on irc, it does not seem to be tied to BU in particular.

all i can say is that my system is

xp pro(up2date)
nvidia fx5200(up2date drivers)
550mhz
graphical settings have been tuned down with this version
texture off
lighting off
depth buffer on
quality high
shadows off
1024x768x32/16@75Hz

so thats it, and i am using the 1.10.1 release client from SF.

Seems to happen to me on 1.10.1 servers. The server thinks we are still alive, so it's not sending a spawn location. It also does it when you self destruct or get run over by a steamroller. It might be something to do with when you don't get killed by a shot.

This has hopefully been fixed in CVS now, and the fix will be in the 1.10.2 release although Xmission will probably have the fix sooner since it uses CVS code. It's a server bug, so there's no need to upgrade the client (but there are other reasons to upgrade the client when 1.10.2 comes).
