** Alt-Tab Glitches **
"There are 2 major alt-tab (minimized) glitches that I know of. Both are fairly common and happen to everyone. Both I think need to be fixed very badly. Both of these glitches I have heard of happening to people who have not minimized the game, but I can?t personally confirm it.
-The 1st one is the prone/crouch glitch. Sometimes when a player brings the game back up after minimizing, players will appear to be running and sprinting full speed while in the crouch or prone position. The players appearing glitched-out are actually in the standing position while going full speed, however because of the glitch, they appear to be prone or crouch. The hit boxes are also a normal standing hit box, so while the player may think they are hitting the glitched-out player in the face or body, they are actually shooting them in the feet.
-The 2nd one is kind of 2 in the same. It?s the invisible player glitch but also the same as the ?shot from spawn? glitch. Basically the opponent appears to be in spawn from the freeze-cam, but is really somewhere else on the map. I only recently came to the conclusion that these glitches are 1 in the same after playing a 12man. 2 players were in the mid no-scoping for 1st pick, however to several other players and myself in spectator, 1 of the players at mid appeared to be no-scoping from the spawn, while he was actually at the mid. For some reason when this glitch happens, the game shows it as if the person has never left the spawn and is moving and shooting in spawn, when in reality the person is somewhere else on the map and in invisible to the player witnessing it. All those times when someone thought they got shot across the map by someone in spawn (as shown by the freeze cam), they were really shot by someone nearby who was invisible to them.
Both of these only happen occasionally, however they happen enough and to enough players that this needs to be fixed. Yeah I know the simple answer is to just not minimize the game or start and stop a demo (both fix the glitches), but these glitches are unacceptable to remain in a ?finalized? game. It?s frustrating to know that every time I minimize the game I?m taking a risk that these glitches will happen, forcing me to exit and re-open DoDS."
So what this goes to say is, If you see these glitches open your console and type record "demo" and then type stop or open your console and bind a key to this - bind "key" "record demo; wait; wait; stop"
I hope this helps!
