Hello everybody & gentle greetings!

Seems that my MC4 is acting up lately, and for some reason I thought someone here might now wink.gif

This is what happens:

- mech gets stuck after respawn, can't move just twist torso.
Solution so far: CTRL+Z or rejoining. Doesn't happen often, though.

- mission plays: camera jumps insanely fast from player to player after death. Solution so far:
look away or get dizzy. Seems to happen when I still press the trigger when dying
(which does happen way too often)

- shots register "late" on enemy mech (or friendly blink.gif )
Maybe 2-3 secs late, w. ping about 200-250. Or is this just normal?

As you may have guessed wink.gif , I'm using the german version of MC4 w. the current patch.

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Yes, i think it happened to me once or twice already in my 2 years of playing MW4. Probably spawned in a buggy area of the map. *shrugs*

I only encounter this on a particular server - forgot which one is it though... it was way back in MW:Veng. I think its an intentional server behavior placed in a script to prevent dead players from watching? Not sure because there's a 'dead players can't watch' option when hosting a game.

Errrr... this is normal in my case. I usually ping 400-600 during games though smile.gif

Much more prevalent to me in full servers.

Usually you have crouched. Hit your C key.

Game bug.

Net lag, usually it indicates a problem on your end if it appears later.

A little late, but here is the "thank you for your input" smile.gif

Well, the "stuck after respawn" problem has never happened again - whatever caused it went the way of the dodo.

cheers
