What's the filesize of your UT2004RPG.u file?

Okay - hopefully I remember how things went ...

I was playing my Weapons Master.

Things were going okay, I was weeding weapons in the midst of trying to kill things.

I noted that I had no Mine Layer for some reason - assumed that I had thrown it accidentally instead of throwing my Bio. Switched around - I'd swear a couple of other weapons came up, but somewhere along the line, I think I went to switch to my Shield Gun and I saw:

RW_Healer

And then no weapons would come up. The Mine Layer display showing how many mines I supposedly had out (0) came up. The HUD would switch to different weapons, but no actual weapon would pop up (like I was lagging, but I wasn't, as I was able to communicate).

SuiGhosted (I'll have to add that to the "words" thread) as someone suggested that it fixed itself when they Ghosted. Did not fix it for me.

Suicided. When I respawned, all was well.

For the record, i've mostly been playing my medic, but even with my other characters I haven't experienced it either.

Very interesting. Thanks for the info Fro, it helps, in a sick and twisted sort of way.

I have experienced dissapearing weapons with my WM. I believe the latest instance was 2 days ago. My shots began to dissapear and then I couldn't see other players/monsters. Another time I didn't spawn with any weapons. It doesn't happen frequently, but it is definitly a pain when it does happen.

Fro: I've seen you drop off and come back on quite a bit some days - aren't you having connectivity issues?
 


Well, my connection isn't all that reliable. On nice days the speed will be up to 1.5 megs and the ping will be nice and low. On off days Ive seen it drop below 200 kb with horrid pings.

Now that mention it bot, that one day you saw me drop off and on several times I was experiencing the disapearing weapons and what not. I fixed it pretty easily by turning off the 360 that was downloading a bunch of stuff.

Even with the bad connection days, I don't experience much packetloss. Just really bad ping.

My character archietoast has no skills, just spent stat points on abilities. It happened to him today, so it's not something skill (or class) related.

If it's not your modem, if might have something to do with the translocator. The time's its happened to me it seems to usually start when the trans beacon does not fire. The rest of it just begins to fall apart from there.

Today I wasn't able to last more than 2 waves without my weapons dissapearing. At the time there were 14 or 15 players online. I think the problem occurs more frequently when more people are playing.

Now that you mention it I believe when it happens to me the server has at least 10+ people. I've never had it happen to me when I'm on late at night with only 3 or 4 other people.

I just remembered, small maps seem to aggravate the problem too (ex: gael xl). Sometimes my weapons start to trickle in if I move away from other players, but that rarely works.

I just played two games in a row were this happened. I don't beleive there were more then 10 people playing though.

I had terrible packet loss for the first part, but that didn't seem to be the only problem. I'm still sticking with my original assertion that something is wrong with the trans that causes the big failure in the weapons and ammo. Sporadicaly through the games, I stopped being able to see shots being fired, but none of those times caused the full loss of weapons, hud, etc... The only time that seemed to happen was when the trans was the projectile that was missing.

I played quite a bit today, at least 5 different games, and didn't have any problems with weapons disapearing. Even when the server was completely full I was able to play just fine. Were any changes made?

ok, i had it happen to me today on rusing. The map before and the start of rusing i was getting some lag and my ping was high 100's low 200's. My ping started to drop to about the mid 100's. I started to partially lose my shots at about that time. Like only 2 shards of flak would show and maybe every 3rd shot would not show, but that would come and go. Then my ping went back to normal, the lag stopped, and I could always see my shots. No problems up until I died. After I spawned, I couldn't pick up any guns and I couldn't see many monsters. So, I reconnected and have been fine since then.

It happened to me today on the first map I played. I reconnected to the server, but it just started happening again. Plus I spawned with this curious weapon (I took the screenshot while it was flipping out, so it looks larger than normal):


say wha?
