That Movement Bug

[Reise]

I'm sure this has happened to some people by now.

You join a server and spawn, only to have it feel like you're walking with a ball and chain stuck to your leg. Looking down while walking you can tell it's like you're kinda jittering forward and backward really quickly, causing the slow effect. Reconnecting to the server fixes it, but I haven't discovered any other way to work around it.

Any chance this could be looked at? I'd make a video of it but I don't have the means to do so ATM.

It's a connection issue, most likely a routing one. For instance, there's a particular server I have on my favs that I can count on this happening 100% of the time. Physically it's close to me so it's not likely my route is going to change by "reconnect" as it would with another further away. The cause is most likely a bad node bottlenecking traffic along the way.

It's odd because my ping doesn't show anything suspicious. That's why I didn't chalk it down as a connection issue.

No, it's Skynet.

It's irritating. The only fix is to reconnect, because you move so slow that you'll be doomed. A 15/15 Firebug with a Flamerthrower out can outrun me at 1/15 with a knife out when the glitch hits...

Hehe I've got this pretty often and I didn't know how to fix it until a couple of days ago ^^ Jumping every time you're trying to move works as well. Even tho its hard to shoot at the same time and people look at you like you're crazy -.- but nice, then it's only to reconnect =)

Yep, i've already had this problem. And it was a really very big s*** when you want to escape from a huge wave of ZED.
The only way to move quickly is to jump but it is so lame, and very problematic to shoot accurately !
