Strange looping effect

Post by Bottle »

This has happened only twice so far. The only common thing has been that I've been in a dive when its happened.

Symptoms; The entire game starts to madly loop or stutter with about a 1 second periodicity. The sound goes choppy with the loop. It's like for every 2 seconds of flight, the game rewinds 1 second and then starts again, so you're going backwards and forwards in rapid bursts. Needless to say there is no/little control and sooner or later you end up as pancake.

Nasty, have not seen this one at all. Unfortunately, we have some rather pressin items to fix, I'm sure you can guess what they are!! But once done we will look into the rest.

I think I get this too, but so far only when I've been hit, am I supposed to hear rounds hitting my plane ?. The first thing I notice is reduced control, look out holes in wing, followed by a wing dropping, followed by a spin. There then seems to be some kind of stutter and flashing with no action possiable by me untill I crash.

This sounds almost like the "death sequence", though it is not as radical as described above.

The death sequence, when you get hit so badly that you are instantly killed
was never looking good to me. This one is the same one as used in BoB1.

It looks like this:
--You do hear bullets hitting you, BTW.
--You are thrown into external view, and your craft appears to shake a bit.
You will see that your rudder is gone.
--You will not be able to change views.
--You have no more control, but can bail, I think. :roll:
--If you do not bail, you crash. Seems like a straight dive.

I just got a death sequence 2 nights ago:

No I don't get transported to external view, It stays in cockpit, and like I say I hear no bullets hitting the aircraft, or me :) , and I don't think I can bail I thought it initially was just the shadows playing on the cockpit as i was spinning so I would try to recover before hitting the ground but either I,m sprogging it or like I say it seems to go into some kind of stutter with no possiable imput from me.

I stay in cockpit and hear no bulet hits. However, what I've experienced doesn't sound like Mowgali's. With me the game goed M A D, bonkers crazy. The whole image and sound goes choppy. I need to test it however. It may be that I've accidentally hit time accelerate just as I've been critically hit. I'll report back.

What sytem specs, drivers you guys have?
Does this nastiness happen randomely, or with specific Instant Action or in Campaign only?.
Can it be reproduced or localized to a certain situation where this gets triggered?

I posted my personal game settings on the other forum.
Try those, just so the both of you use identical settings.

Other testers did not report this, and I never saw it.
Give us some more details, so we can figure out what may cause it.

All of them or only some?
Is it random, or is there a noticeable event that sems to trigger it?
Also what input devices you use.
ATI drivers version?
