What did you do to my proxies!?
BAH!

And the contrails don't add any sort of 'hey there he went'.....jus to let ya'll know. When someone HJ's, usually you cannot turn your camera up fast enough to follow, especially in a lagged area like mara.

Guns have been given a spit-shine.

Something feels a little different with hacker animations (whether intentional or not). In that unless you're right next to the NPC you're hacking, you don't get *any* visual clue as to whether the attack hit or not. While that may be good for PVP with masses of people, it's less than helpful for new players.

It's funny looking around and seeing everyone's CQ. A lot of people have much less then I thought... SMILEY

ps> the <Scanning...> bug is back and hard.

**Pirathanite**

I ran into a couple of strange bugs while I was in zero-one today farming heads.

First off, I switched between sneak and disguise, then back to sneak, and as I was switching back to sneak, I got shot. Now, this knocked me into a state where I could still do my specials, but I couldn't see the bar going across. Also, when I fell off of something, no damage was registering on my health bar, or in my text windows. Things got even worse when we finally killed the taskmaster, as I clicked on him to loot and nothing popped up. someone else tried to loot and they were unable to also. Anyhow, I tried to go use the zion proxy and jack out, but when I clicked on the zion proxy, nothing happened. I tried to right-click on the zion proxy and click "use", and it actually made the problem worse. Now I couldn't hyperjump using ctrl+space.

I tried to submit a bug in-game, however since everything was frozen, it was kinda pointless. I eventually got the game to switch to windowed-mode and just hit the X, waited until I jacked out, and came back in.

I tried to reproduce it, but I wasn't able to. Might want to have someone look into this, because it was REALLY annoying and it cost me a taskmaster head SMILEY

That sounds very much like your client losing synch with the server. Usually happens if you've got a problem with your 'net connection. You couldn't loot the task master partly due to that and partly due to the desynch showing you the wrong position for his corpse. That particular problem happens a lot actually, and is usually fixed by moving far enough away that when you return, you force the client to redraw the area - that usually "snaps" the corpse back into the correct spot (ie. the spot that the server say's it is) once that's done, the loot box is able to fetch the loot.

But the other errors you describe are classic symptoms of your client being right out of synch with the server. The usual result is your client eventually giving up and crashing you back to the desktop as the desynch is too great.

Trust me, thought about that, and it was definitely not it. I was completely bugged. It wasn't a synchronization issue, and I know for a fact it wasn't my network.

This was something completely different.

Sim updates. Excellant. Detail changes. Excellant.

I can confirm that it's happened a couple other times to other players.

I'm not the only one who's seeing the issue.

Sorry if this has already been asked
but where are the Ad space for rent competition winners ads?
or is that in a later update?
