<div class="IPBDescription">Strangest bug I've encountered (so far).</div>Okay so, once again I have no idea where to post this, so it's going here (if a mod prefers it to be somewhere else please move it).

I was playing on a server (details in description) and at around 16 minutes in I went to buy a jetpack during a base attack. Suddenly, a fade killed me the same second I bought it and this happened:

The game didn't play a death animation, it simply respawned me instantly where I was standing. Here's a view of the scoreboard for another strange thing:

I could not receive ammunition or change weapons, but I did have a jetpack. Afterwards, the server seemed to be having bugs where when players were killed, they instantly disappeared and gave no score or kill to the person who killed them.

    What's up here? did you just replace the model or something?

    That <b>is interesting</b>. Haven't seen that one before. Any more steps we can use to try and reproduce it? Where you 'logged in' to the proto lab?

    Hi there,

    I also had this happen, it happened when i was killed the very instant i bought a jetpack, i imagine it might be difficult to reproduce.

    When it happened to me, i was invincible and still in the game, with 1hp, and the old style gl model loaded on my screen, , i couldnt fire, but no one could damage me. I went and flew around the hive to confuse the aliens, they spent quite some time trying to kill me until i just sat still and let the whole team gnaw at my boots.

    I think the cause could be, that the marine has triggered the "get jetpack"-code AFTER the server decided the marine is dead. A rare timing problem.

    on a side note: just came from a server where a was JPing into a phase gate.

    when I came out the other end of the phase gate my screen was al white/blue (could only see icons) as if it stopped in the middle of the phase gate sprite/hud-thingie

    I was in the process of purchasing a jetpack and was killed at the exact moment I bought it, which is what I think triggered this bug. I also had low health when it happened, but the armory still appeared to function, which healed me up. I don't know if I was invincible, as I used the console kill command eventually.

    Very well. Thank you for the report. I've added it to the bug-tracker; it'll be investigated.

    I did have this bug once, too. I did happen for me also when i died while buying the jetpack. The sad thing is you can only fly and do nothing else, you have kill yourself or get killed to get "unbuged". I think i was not invulnerable like Hunter, but i'm not sure about that because i killed myself because i couldn't shoot, etc.

    Had something similar in 202 or something, i reported the thing and i think it even got fixed huh.
    But for me it was after some stomp dodging and i couldnt use /kill either.
