Kolak - I admit it, you're not going crazy after all

[HoosTrax]

Ok, so a little background on this -

A while ago, I posted a screenshot of a Warpath map glitch where an ammo/health locker appeared in a place where there normally isn't one. Well a few days after that, we were on Warpath and all of a sudden Kolak says that he sees some "wooden posts" in the same place that my locker had appeared. So several of us including DigitalFeeling go over there...and none of us see anything out of the ordinary. We ask if he had taken any screenshots of his magical wooden posts, and he hadn't. Ok Kolak !mistrust ...

So he starts going on about he isn't going crazy , that we have to believe him, etc.

Well fast forward to yesterday...I saw them, the magic wooden posts !dodge , and I have the pictures to prove it:



So anyways, Kolak - you were right, I was wrong, you aren't going insane after all 8). Btw, it was pretty disorienting trying to build there without knowing exactly where the invisible fence was....

How did those posts get there then? That's pretty weird.

 

[HoosTrax]

I'm guessing it's some sort of client side problem or bug (as far as I know, only one person can see the glitch).

So I forgot to mention one other little side story to this - Kolak was pretty eager to try to prove to me that his posts were real, despite his lack of any screenshots. So he whips out his soldier shotgun, calls me over, and tries to draw me a picture of a bunch of slanted sticks using shotgun blasts against a wall .

i found that out from some Jackass... i jsut bought TF2 had maybe 25 points and some idiot goes " dude if u press alt+tab that'll u'll activate ure special for the character... stupid idiot..

Luckily for me, I play in windowed mode. There's got to be some major issue with the fullscreen mode, because it shouldn't take me 10 secs or more to switch back to TF2 with 6GB of RAM.

ITS THE WOODEN POSTS!!!! NO!!! so much mocking..... and yes i am very creative with the shotgun

I would guess it might have to do with the map itself. Seeing as how Warpath has it's own array of strange triggers/walls/barriers.

What I'm seeing is your client getting confused between 2 models, the post and the fence thats usually up on that hill, definitely client side.

It's a client-side glitch from alt tabbing, a lag spike, or too little RAM. Same things that lead to the error with invisible players running around.
