fnal 206 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) This thread is for the awareness, discussion, and reporting of the invisible player glitch that I have experienced from playing in the new 0.37.115791 experimental patch. Issue: A player can become invisible to one player but visible to another. When a player becomes invisible, their character (when viewed from a different person) is stuck in one position on the ground moving about mimicking the actions of the invisible person (Running in place, punching, eating, etc.) However, on the invisible person's screen, they appear perfectly normal and have no way of telling they are invisible and can not see their avatar. The invisible player's avatar may be in different spots for different players and if damage is dealt to the avatar, it will affect the invisible player wherever he is. -------------------------------------------------------------------- My first experience: I first noticed this bug when a friend of mine went to attack a geared player with a weapon in a house. He started axing the guy who immediately ran a few feet away into a room and began to bandage (thinking he was getting hit from the outside), while my friend stood in front of him continuing to axe him wondering why he was behaving so strangely. This continued with the confused player running and looking around trying to figure out where it was coming from until he died. Second experience: My friend and I were on top of the new police station and I was looking down the spiral staircase. All of a sudden, my friend begins shouting there was a man running up the stairs with an axe yelling at me to shoot. I could not see anyone walk up the stairs and begin getting axed. I ran down the stairs while this invisible person was behind me axing me. I could hear his footsteps and the axe hits but nothing else. I consequently died. The third experience I captured with video. My cousin became invisible to me and one of my other friends who reported the avatar in different locations that what I was seeing. Unfortunately, I only have footage of my perspective but I will try and coordinate all my friends to record so all the perspectives can be assessed and evaluated. -------------------------------------------------------------------- My friend's avatar is stuck in this position and mimics everything that he is doing on his screen. He was running around in the field by the firehouse in Elektro. As you can see, he picked up a white hard hat from somewhere and it appeared on his avatar. I also had another friend playing who was seeing this avatar in a completely different spot. I then ran outside and told him to punch the bus stop wall. He is directly in front of me punching it and you can clearly see and hear it but his avatar is still in the building to the left of the screen. I ran back up to check his body and it moved into that corner. I punched him to see if it would wound him on his screen and sure enough it did. Then his avatar made its way out of the building and stopped in the street. He was punching the zombie near the firehouse in the next video. The invisible man punching the zombie yet his body that I can see is just outside the building. Additonal Information: My friend, cousin, and I are all on wired connections and have suitable internet connections beyond 80Mbit. We do not experience any desync or other strange type of lag situations when the person is invisible. I've ruled out the new axe position since when my cousin became invisible, he was a fresh spawn with no gear. Maybe there is a connection here with how some zombies can become invisible so if the community can report their experience with this bug, the source of the problem will become easier to detect.

iBane 381 Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Did you post this in the bug section? It needs to be posted there because that's where the QA team will look. Edited February 27, 2014 by iBane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fnal 206 Posted February 27, 2014 The bug section only redirects you to the feedback tracker. Unless I am not seeing what you are talking about. However, I am posting it here so the thread will get the most visibility and more players can become aware of the situation and report it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
