btw, hitman. i just looked at the pictures you gave... the upper one... the german soldier holding no gun. well, here's my thought: i've encountered so far one case where a player (server host) was invisible... it came out that he was trying out a new skin. well, i don't know much about how this all works, but... might it be that the player in the upper picture is using a modified skin for the gun?

to Ever:

I too have a Logitech Optical Mouse, Dual Optial version. And for me, I would suddenly find myself looking either at the sky or my feet. During a gun fight, this is not where you should be looking. I changed my mouse pad to a uniform color and it solved all my problems. My old one had lots of colors, different small designs, ect... Duracell Hockey Mouse Pad to be precise.

That's one of the reason I don't botter trying out new skins since the other players don't get to see it... at least, that's what i'm thinkin'.

Seen all of this as well, except for the Up and Down. Usually I freeze and can move left and right, up and down.

Didn't experience it that much when I first bought the game, but last night....every server almost I had some type of problem you mentioned.

Now, I have a new one. When trying to type a message, I would get something like this; "What go948ing on, is the3234re a l3122g".

Always with numbers. I got freaked and thought someone got my IP and was screwing with me. Turn off the computer, discon my cable and tried again. Same shit.

I'm using the Game Commander 2, so I thought that may contribute to my messed up typing ability and sometimes my weapon changing, but if others are experience these, something has to be wrong with the game.

My two cents.

I've had a few problems myself - the gun repeatedly firing for a few seconds - that's happened to me a lot actually.. never stays around for long, happened to everyone on the map at the same time.. (which is kinda funny if you're in spectator mode, no one's moving and you hear gunfire coming from all over the map... ;-)

Also, the other day, two things happened which I thought was wierd. I was on the bridge map (same as the pic above with the guy in mid-air..) First off, starting that map, I had no gun in my hands. It was there, I could shoot and see the bullets hitting things, but I could neither HEAR the weapon or SEE it. After I died (rather quickly I might add) the problem solved itself, so I didn't think too much of it.

Second round now, everything seems to be working fine. I join a few of my axis friends doing a rush through the underground/sewer which leads to the river/bridge. When I get to the doorway leading out to the water, I see half the allied team standing there, mid-rush across the water. (think about 5 seconds after the map starts, usually most of the allies jump the bridge and run across the water - that's where they were 'frozen'..) I of course unloaded about 5 clips on them, not doing any damage. Figuring they were 'stuck' or lagged all to hell, I took advantage of the situation and armed the bombs under the bridge. Keep in mind that my team is still moving around with me... As i'm hiding under the bridge, I see a few of my teammates sparring in the water with an invisible foe... they of course die and then it was my turn to fight an invisible ally. I don't use any modifications, I've been playing this 'out-of-the-box' so to speak, so no problems with models not being there or anything like that.

Didn't happen again after that, but the strangest thing I've yet to see in this game - and I'll be glad to not have that happen again.... just another beefy by-product of The Bug....

The mouse thing is definately a bug. I ran into it last night on an Omaha map and, as you said, everyone was experiencing it. I'm stumped. Why the heck did it stop in RtCW when I changed mouse pads?

The ubersoldat, Germany's flying man. BTW - no, he couldn't be sniped while flying.
