Something Wierd

Neros

<div class="IPBDescription">Very, very wierd</div> i have no idea where to put this... Bug report maybe... but then again it might be the connection...

Me(Neros) and my little brother(Casgiga) was playing on a server...
Every thing was going well and we where wining....
THEN.... while we where assaulting a hive... I was reloading my GL at the Armory, and suddenly, the world started to shake(the NS room we where in)... And before i knew of it, i was in the hive room with a shootgun... i thought:
WHAT THE... And started to kill some aliens... but there was one problem.... it was casgiga that was getting
the frags.... or so it said....
A couple of minuts later(maybe 2), Neros leaves the game.....
then again: WHAT THE.... HOW CAN I LEAVE WHEN IM STILL PLAYING.... but then again...
IM PLAYING AS CASGIGA!!!

Have ANYBODY.... ANY THING..... ever seen this before?

Shockeh

Were you both playing behind a router, that's on a NAT network?

(I.E do your PC's have addresses in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range, for example)

Neros : If you were, it's probably explainable, but it'll take too long. Rest assured it can happen, but it's very rare, and unlikely to happen ever again.

wow so the server like confused you two, and made you into your brothers player?

Reminds me of "team teleport" in gunbound, heh. That would be a cool upgrade.

what happened to your brother

Shockeh

If he's behind a NAT network, it'll have been a lost UDP packet. As a result, because his PC was also expecting a UDP packet from that server, it carried on receiving them.

The odds of it happening are pretty remote though, I wouldnt' worry about it.
