No gun glitch survey

[Jokerle]

@Jokerle
well, then the bug would only happen upon late revive.
how would you explain weapons disappear when alive and conscious?

My weapons only disappeared while respawning or being revived. I was under the impression that was for everyone the case.
If 'my bug' delays communication at some level, weapons may disappear wherever they want (eg whoever request his loadout first).

weapons disappears just by standing around.
I had a round on Alborz spawn with weapon and while i waited for my tank to spawn it disappeared, and re-appeared about 15 seconds later. it disappears even if you are alive and well for a while. that what speaks against that theory.

@razy - i don't believe they have a different code for 100% and 60%, and all other health %.
there is one variable controlling the health % and the code it runs through is the same. so if its a factor of health % and we have it in the middle, one of the extreme ends should have it worse then we do.

Those are assumptions which I don't know much about. I have no idea how the server code runs, what checks they do on it, and how those interact with everything.

We can only work with what we know. Both servers, which assume are from different providers, display similar issues, so it seems to me we need to look at what we have on our servers that's different from the rest.

The last round of the NABO was (accidentally?) set to 100 health, so I think we can rule that out as a problem.

So that leaves the MAN DOWN TIME thingy

Interesting. I just checked Zorplex's video of Damavand Peak. So, at the start of the round, everything was normal. Health was set at it's normal 80%. Then when he got the gun glitch, his health shot up to 100%. I've never noticed that your health goes back up to 100%, though I bet it happens to everyone, but it's so easy to overlook. Has anyone noticed this before (besides Yonder)?

[RazY70]

Nice catch!

I don't know if that was the accidental change Yonder refereed to, but it's strange that the minute that happened the gun glitch showed up for Zorplex and Callout.

That's the video btw: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkRxsyfYGEg. Glitch and change to 100% occurs at 4:53; health goes back to 80% at ~6:33; glitch occurred again at 8:30; health jumps back to 100% again at ~9:34.

Weird stuff.

I just checked one of the vids Yonder posted when he was "rewarded for his patience" when he had the gun glitch on Sharqi. His health was at 80% on both separate occasions when he spawned in and got the gun glitch. So, this Damavand occasion was an anomalous one perhaps. I know that there are other vids of the gun glitch somewhere, but it's difficult to wade through the forums and find them, but hopefully there are other vids that show the health being at either 80% or 100%.

Edit: Found one of Starfisher's vids where he had the gun glitch on Sharqi. He starts out at 69% health, but happens to get close to a medkit and is healed up to 80%.

So, this incident on Damavand is somewhat unusual and is perhaps the first time (at least documented) that there was a anomalous health change that occurred along with the gun glitch.

[TheYonderGod]

Oh, that's weird, I thought it was at 100% health the whole time... I'm going to go watch my videos and see what happened.

Edit: Yes, it started out at 80 then jumped up to 100. I didn't know that was even possible. It wasn't at the same time people started getting the gun glitch though.

[Darkrider312]

At least in Zorplex's video, it's very coincidental that the time that his health spiked was very close to the times when he got the gun glitch.

So, perhaps this is another thing to look out for, even though it doesn't really affect our gameplay too much?

The recent, largest all army gun glitch at the BFI on Karkand:

phpBB [video]

Nothing strange about the health.

While playing I got crazy because I kept hearing someone else's sound after some minutes. I restarted TS and tried crap, but nothing worked. I was getting mad about it
Close to the end of the round I noticed I had two (2!) twitch streams open on browser tabs.

[Necromancer]

i never noticed anything wrong with the health when having the gun glitch, and i was looking for anything that might be odd. its not that.

[zorplex]

Was Bad Lucked on Delta on Caspian Border on the NA server. Revived and had no guns. I ran around for a bit, died a few times, didn't correct itself. I then tried rejoining the server two more times and STILL had the glitch. This has never happened to me before. I joined a different server and had no issues. Server restart corrected the problem.

Did anyone get the gun glitch this past Saturday on the EU server? I didn't hear any reports from KART until the NA server. When I had Arcturus look, he said that the EU server was ranked (without full-unlocks) while the NA server wasn't (full-unlocks). Is this consistent with everyone's experiences?

[Necromancer]

there was a report that the gun glitch was present on bazaar i guess? when the setting was without full-unlocks.
this really baffles me as this was our by far the best bet.
how many reports did we get though? in this case i guess we strive to lower the appearance if not possible to eliminate it. if one has it, it doesn't necessarily means its not better.
and i hope they didn't confuse it with any other 'gun bug' or 3rd vision or revive-can't-turn bugs.
