Hi,
i've seen that i can go in auto in any servers.

Do they know that?

Some servers dissalow autopilot, because they want to keep slots open for people that actually want to play. It all depends on which server you're on, usually the more popular ones will disallow autopilot.

i only do it when i get stuck with somebody following me and im jumping, because roger seems to be better at dodging bullets when landing...

So i can go on any server in auto. For example, i was on louman's lasermania.

I suppose it's a bug.

Code: Select all

While the game is loading (downloading map...) i hit 9 and it goes in auto even if it's not allowed.

Weird. This happened to me once also. I take it you're on windows, right?

The nasty thing about autopilot is it tells you where the rabbit with stealth is

Wow thats some bug. I just tried it and it worked.

You could report it to a developer.

And nobody knows you're on it.

On the score list, it will say "[auto]" next to your email string.

other way round... disabling auto makes a better server.

Aren't those the same thing?

Unless you are saying that the most popular aren't the best servers... Which makes no sense....

I wouldn't be surprised, you were cheating and all. BTW they are thumper's servers, not loumans.
