    Category: Server
    Operating system: Im running Win7
    Build number: 781; I've seen this before now, but not this badly
    Description: A thrown bomb will get bigger and redder until it eventually explodes, with some odd effects.
    Steps to reproduce: 1) Join a server with 150+ ping
    2) Become a bomb knight
    3) Throw the bomb
    4) The bomb should turn red and get progressively bigger
    5) The bomb will explode, taking a second to do terrain damage and then applying player damage later as if it just went off.

    Screenshots/Videos: I was getting the screenshot bug, this should be easy enough to reproduce though.
    (I'm reporting these two tegether because they are probably the same thing.)
    Category: Both, I think
    Operating system: I'm running Win7
    Build number: 781
    Description: If you're seeing lag bombs as per the bug above this, it's possible to pick them up, duplicating them at their current color and size and resetting the fuse on them, should you pick them up close enough to detonation time. I've been able to get one bomb go through 4 generations of this. It's also worth noting that it seems to be a 50/50 chance (depending on the ping) whether the bomb will be purely client-side or not.
    Steps to reproduce: Repeat the process for the first bug, but pick the bomb up right before it explodes.
    Screenshots/Videos: Screenshot bugged, and after I left the server to fix the bug, the lag stopped.

    Don't use colours next time. I had to edit your post manually to make it readable. The same goes for the other thread you've made.

    So this has only ever happened to you once? Are you sure it wasn't just regular lag? Have you been able to reproduce this in the latest build?

    Sorry for the late replay, I was out. Every build of Beta I've seen this, and it only seems to be when someone is lagging the server with a bug, and seriously lagging it.

    Has this still happened? If so, could we get a screenshot/video of it?

    I frequently see tomato bombs, in servers that are lagging/bogged down. Never tried to pick them up, though! This is interesting..
     
  8. This always happens to me when I'm lagging.
