| The Ghost Glitch or why can I move around but somehow do nothing... and how to fix it. |
|

Now this has happened to me a couple of times. I enter the mish and move forward to attack. I select my target and prepare to assassinate him. Pressing my attack, I recieve an out of range message. I try all of my attacks, including what range I have. Nothing. Telling my teammates about the problem, they remark that on their map I haven't moved from the doorway. I'm gonna call this "The Ghost Glitch" It is simple as follows, Your point of view moves and you see your avatar move, yet the connection between keyboard, and character is nonexistent aside from visual movement and targeting.
Now, the way to fix it. Exit the mission by going to the door. As you character hasn't actually moved,(only the visual has) you are still right next to it. Exit and ReEnter the mission. Everything should be fine now.

Interesting Glitch.
Sounds like your positional data doesn't get transmitted to the Server. I.e. your avatar doesn't move on a client-server communication level.
Just wondering, what kind of network setup do you have?
Positional stuff is usually handled through the UDP protocol (as it's fault tolerant) and several Wireless routers of the past and present tend to have issues with that.
Then again, since you can "reset" the issue by relaoding, it might even be a bug in the client software.

That is a nasty, and kind of annoying. I think the problem is caused somehow by bad communication between your PC and the server, and your PC being extremely busy loading the graphics for the mission. I am glad to hear you have a fix for it, but if you want to get rid of it permanently you probably should increase your memory. How much memory do you have now?

Ah yeah, I know this bug, rarely happens to me though, and it's kind of an annoying one to get if you're alone.
I never bother with going back through the door, if there's a Teleporter on the team, you can fix it with TP Friend

It happens to me sometimes. I've seen it happen to quite a few people. Like has been said, getting TPd re-syncs you. As does the Pocket D TP power. And I assume the base porter power would work as well. Otherwise, you gotta re-log.
It's most annoying when it happens as you enter a zone and you get all the way across the zone to the mish door just to find that you can't enter cause the doors appear to be gone.

Sounds like a nasty little bug there. Has anyone reported this to the Dev's? Sounds like something they can put on their to-do-list of game fixes.
