"Not responding glitch" - please read

[Valletta 834]

So, here's the case: Many of you tankmen know the "not responding" glitch and I am sure you dread it. For those who still haven't experienced it it basically consists of your game freezing, but your own tank - not. This way you are in a sort of "parallel dimension" where all tanks are repeating the last movement their owners made (e.g. if you pressed D before the lag spike then your tank will continuously rotate right). You can also pass through enemy flags or even bonus drops, you can try to turn on your drugs, place mines and etc., but the game doesn't react. And your game will stay like this for 2 - 10 minutes If you don't refresh your browser window. I guess I made it clear why it is hated so much...

This speciphic video shows I guess the glitch at its very worst form with me being kicked out of the game for cheating ( :lol: ) and my shaft scope actually freezing!

 

The aim of this post is to give the testers a better idea of the hazards this glitch hides. I hope this video is helping for work on examination and preventing this problem. Please reply with possible solutions to the glitch or redirect me to somewhere where this is widely discussed. Thank you.

Просто рефрешни страницата, би трябвало да стане...Просто един гаден лаг :mrgreen:

[Aero.v2.0 1,456]

this is called "lag"

get used to it, and just wait

it happens

I know perfectly how to handle it, I'm just providing material for the mods and technicians :wink:

It's kinda a fun (But horrible) lag spike.

When the video ends, you will probably have killed 4 people, pushed 1 off a cliff, and have taken the enemy flag.

Or, at least that should happen...

No, when that happens to me, I just die automatically after lag is over.

[Valletta 834]

^that's because you were killed while the lag session was taking place

this happens to me almost every 2-3 battles... i stay in this "parallel dimension" for 1-2 minutes and then i get dead,or i stay alive. but basically i can't do nothing. :x
