Invisible Bug?

[viruses]

So I just flying on the training server trying to teach a newbie to fly right so he won't get murdered on the live server. So I'm flying around in Area 51 (training area) I tell him "110, SE, Deck, Fort Mont." Eventually I'm flying there thinking where the hell is he. Then my Tail gunner dies... I'm still flying, no vis on anything... Still hearing plinks, no vis... He eventually says no ammo...

So. Wtf?

It was weird, but it happened once out of 15 to 20 spawns...

[conqueri]

It happens from time to time. not often , only had it happen 2 times last map.

Both times in a bell and saw nothing but tracers the whole time.

i may have had this bug.

i was flying around earlier with snoopy, and he said he couldnt see me.

the ea had no trouble, as they were shooting at me, but he couldnt see me.

i could see him, and he could see everyone else, everyone else could see me, and everyone else could see him.

Is this limited to air only ?

[ghost]

it could be.

it could be anything in the game that has a "skin".

it could be graphics drivers, or settings.

it could be alot of stuff, but it will take a while to weed through everything.

i'm just glad it isn't very common, and i hope no one figures out how to replicate this bug consistently.

i thought i saw a ghost-like bomber flying rtb from the factories on the deck about a week ago as i rtb'd to gilze, but i dismisssed it as eye strain and didnt think much of it untill this. it looked like how the preditor's cloak thing worked in the movie. you could see distorted ground, and make out a shape, but couldnt see a airframe. it was almost like looking through the heat that rises from a fire.

Probably something in the update and vis list system out of whack. We've redone those systems for 1.34 so I'd really appreciate a lot of testing when we get it into beta.

i havn't heard or seen this since then, so i'm guessing it's pretty rare.

i have fraps mapped to my joystick just incase

It has been happening as far back as I can remember but it is rare.
