What happens when you lose your connection to the servers...

Took out my earlier rant for a better bug report below. :), and no Pyro its not a good way of handling the lag when you see what you can do because of it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'd personally prefer if you didn't report detailed techniques for exploiting on a public forum. You get too many people doing this it ruins the test until the devs can fix the problem.

Ceadda, that's the lag handling. You basically continue to go in a straight line when you lag. It's probably the best solution, since passing it off to an AI could be annoying, to say the least. Also, try sticking a fan next to your modem; it could be overheating. That's what used to happen to mine in the summer.

Do you play any other online games, and if so, do you have this problem with those games?

Ya I had the same thought Celebrim. Ceadda, I'll just pop your narrative into the bug report form (see link to the left) instead. I'm not clear why you wrote "Now you'll have to beleive it's a problem." We see it's a problem and it has now been reported in an appropriate manner (http://vendetta.guildsoftware.com/?action=bugreport) that will help stem the tide of exploiters.

It's cool. Everyone should think about the impact of bug report info before they post it. The Bug Report link is very nice for that because it is a private form that goes right to the devs, plus your system info if I recall correctly.

Posted that because of Pyro and his.. "That's the lag handing and best solution.. that's all" Sorry about the details. :-D Heh, hopefully no one else has a stupid button like I do?

Lemme know when they make changes. I'll test it out to make sure its all working for them :) Don't need anyone else gaining the ability to randomly jump a ship around.. lol
