Odd beacon bug

[Messy]

Unfortunately I've not been able to take a screenshot of this bug yet, but I trust you will believe me like this x_X

Dunno if any1 else has had it yet, and I'm pretty sure no1 has posted this on the forum yet, but once I reconnect from a server, sometimes I get back in only to see that every1 has lost his beacons O_o

Then when I reconnect again, the beacons are back..otherwise I'll just go on playing and I'll see only the models

Is this a db bug?
Am I the only one having this?
Can any1 help me if this is because something I've done wrong (with my settings..not some punishment from above or even davidm or something -.- I don't believe in davidm )?

Hope some1 can help x_X I'll try posting a screenshot the next time I get the bug.

never had it, DM is gone :<

i've had this bug many times, in matches as well. Once that player dies it's back to normal, but its terribly annoying.

?O_o
I'm talking about me reconnecting, and then seeing everyone without beacons.

I don't mean the bug where someone dies and he leaves his radar thingy behind..and then he is shown without a beacon, and his dot-thingy on the vicinity radar will be following him with weird jumps...no I don't mean that one

My bug is leet0r >_< No1 has any beacons then, and they'll all be back when I reconnect.

Ive seen that in bloodpit

once I reconnect from a server, sometimes I get back in only to see that every1 has lost his beacons

This happens allot to me. Even if I don't reconnect some beacons still disappear. Not everyone just some or one of them.

I don't find it much of a problem really as I can still use the side and middle radar to tell whos who. Dunno if it is just a DeathBall bug as I havn't played any other part of ut2k3 for years now. But, it is annoying though.......

When this encounters please mail me your UT2003.log, my email adres is jeroen @ mysticgd .org (Remove the spaces ). I'll look into it

I've been trying to trigger it for a screenshot :< but to no effect /o\

[CorDawg]

off topic but i dont feel like making new post

bind something to dissconnect|reconnect and when you reconnect you still have all your stats \\o

[Messy]

U will have all your stats whether you use disconnect first or not.

Your stats are cached by the server for every game since deathball 1.9

The only advantage disconnect|reconnect gives u is that you want have problems reconnecting to a full server (otherwise ut2k3 will start a new connection ON TOP of your old one first, and then attempt breaking off the older one, but it is halted because the server will be full)

Another tip concerning that bind, is adding bug in front of that, and maybe a message, so for example:

F=Bug|say Look over there!|disconnect|reconnect

Hm, took a screenie yesterday, as you can see the players have no beacons, and I didn't remove them myself

They were back after reconnecting
