Strange Derelict Glitch

Logan XII · 09-27-2008, 02:38 PM

I was playing a co-op game and all of a sudden the game put me into the hands of the crane that takes you onto the ship regardless of where i was in the level.

One of the times happened when i tried to get the secret that you open by standing on the TV, the other one happened in the room where the battlelord is, i tried to kill him and was using the jetpack so i was at the highest point in the room bumped into the crane hand and ended up back at the start again.

This happen to anyone else?

That's funny!

Sorry, I know that doesn't help but the vision in my head is hilarious!

Also this may be related to the fact i had the game on for awhile, cause i started this co-op from pigsty

Maybe lag? I know sometimes if I go through a door the game will somehow put me back behind the very door I came out of. That's about 4 seconds after I'm through the door, too.

Somehow, as noticed in laggy games, vertical moves like jumping and riding lifts require more connection resource than horizontal movement like running. Also pulling switches and opening doors could have some delays yeah.. Most of my matches were very smooth though.

The crane has always done some odd things, even going back to 1996. I've seen it get stuck because there's an object in the way in the path below it.

I used to run into laggy conditions playing over the net via Kali. It was fairly reliable (aka you could time it).. if you hit 'use' to open a door and it took 4 full seconds to open, it would always take that long on every door.

Used to have to hit use, run back while counting "one one thousand, two one thousand.." etc, to avoid the "Hi there! I'm just waiting for the door to open, please feel free to shoot a rocket into my back!" syndrome.

Had several times in the past whilst playing in said fashion that I ran into spots that instagib you or warp you to the otherside of the wall (which was usually outside the level, resulting in near instantaneous death).

Lag causes weird things. "It's not a bug, it's a feature!"

Ahh.. those were good times. </me says nostalgically>

My comment on the crane has nothing to do with lag and multiplayer, I was talking about single player, actually.
