Firebugs really bad suddenly?

[delems]

Just had like 3 fire bugs in 15 minutes (not me, other players).  What is up with that?  I've noticed more of these lately.

I have not seen a firebugs in months....

most likely you or the person with the firebug is having connection to the game issues

try playing with netcode3 off, see if any change

I think one of the main causes of fire bug is when you connect 2 or more accounts
The connection is impaired.

(The player with fire bug may have two accounts connected)

FIREBUG:

When one client has either lost the sending or receiving packet stating that the weapon has ceased firing.

If 10 players see 1 player with firebug, the firebugged probably had packet loss.

If 1 player sees another player with firebug and 9 others do not, the player seeing it has had packet loss.

Enemy players with firebug = free lunch

I have experienced fire bugs and engine bugs. Also have heard the same too.

I am only using one account.

I have noticed it a bit more also.
Not like everyone having it, but one person will have it and have it consistently.
If its a busy area, might see 3 or 4 people having fire turret engine bug.

Since it is not every player, i am assuming its on the bugged persons network connection, but cant be sure

I think Kareca is on to something, but also agree with the OP as I've seen it more even with just one account logged in. 

Same with engine bugs, I'm making a thread now

I have experienced many fire bugs as well. More than say.. last year and prior.
