<div class="IPBDescription">I massively apologize if this has been posted already</div>Sorry if this has been posted already but is everyone having collision problems with this build? A recent game on summit in the walkway to crossroads there were 5 Marines, 2 Skulks attacked and everyone got shoved around, pushed on top of one another and just it all around became unplayable. Build 181 never seemed to have these collision issues, so what happened?

    If you felt it was different in 181, it may have something to do with the server you were on being more loaded.

    But collision does feel a little clunky at times. If you run next to another teammate, you will "warp" around in a really oddly manner, screen shaking and everything.

    If you take a game like Team Fortress 2, when you collide with teammates there, you push each other slightly away, thus avoiding this issue. At least that is what I think is happening, TF2 just has a nice and smooth collision with teammates.

    I noticed this too, very annoying. It is definitely the collision and not related to server load.
    Happens also with moving NPCs, you can try it on LAN with MACs.

    Probably an unintended consequence of some change in 183.

    It seems that along with animation issues, the 'jerk' that many people experience when brushing another player may be causing alot of 'perceived' lag. You are right to bring collisions up RebellionElite.

    Yes, the warping is extremely annoying especially at the game start. This also happens a lot when trying to kill power nodes, for some reason they push you away as skulk.

    Hopefully things are looked into for Build 184.
