UAV shaking and invisible markers

Post by Mouthpiece »

Description:
Today in PRTA Marlin STD I was using the UAV. Quite often when turning the camera (with mouse) the UAV view shaked drastically (like being in a tank and getting hit by another tank). Also some markers wouldn't appear on the map. I tried to mark one FOB few times without any success - later I used the objective marker and told everyone what it ment. Also I couldn't mark a Tank. Anyway, for me it seemed that 70% of markers did found their way on to the minimap, but the rest 30% just were invisible (although in chat it was written that "commander has set that and that marker").

Steps to Reproduce:
Go commander, launch UAV (in Marlin; haven't tested anywhere else) and check it out.

Screenshots / Video:
no need

Tested On:
Marlin AAS STD, PRTA.CO, PR 1.0.35.0

Just in case, sys info:

The shaking is caused by explosions. The marker problem seems to be a linux-server related issue and was reported several times already. Markers seem to reload much longer than they actually show in the interface causing them to not be placed until they are fully loaded. I did not test how long the "background" loading takes.

Linux servers cause old timer timings.

Should be ~ 1 minute.

The shaking reminds me of "nadiring" the ball (camera) on a reconnaissance platform.
