Project Reality Forums

today playing in Muttrah in the Divisul Server early i see a mines blocking the main entrance, later my driver did not see it and go forward were the mines were and i did not see it too and we blowup.

As far back as I can remember, probably even in vanilla, you can't see mines placed before you joined the server. Might have been what happened here?

i crash lather and came back but my driver was playing before.

Thanks for the bug report

Currently working on a fix. For the fix, when a player leaves a mine, then disconnects, the projectile gets removed which means for new players, the projectile left by disconnected players doesn't stick around. It might be able to fix others not being able to see mines.

So that means when you are making a minefield and you ctd... Your minefield is gone? Imo it's better to keep mines from disconnected players in the map.
Isn't it only when you join a server after mines have been deployed, you can't see them?

Not sure about when crashing to desktop, but disconnecting yeah so I assume it would be the case with a crash.

Also it removes the mines once switching teams, but it only applies to mines (so far)

I'll see what I can do if it's possible, though not sure. Previous attempts to make it visible hasn't been successful

For example, if a player deploys a mine, disconnects, then reconnects and then gets a kill, I don't know if any score would be added. Unless I'm wrong

Yeah, when someone joins a server that has mines deployed by active players in the server, it's invisible though active. Not sure if the fix would correct that and make it show for new players. It's a vBF2 issue as far as I know.

That could be dangerous for abuse. Players could mine their main, leave, and then friendlies would die but not get team killed.

Not fixed for next release - just discovered the bug is still present even with the fix.

You don't see mines that were placed before you joined the server, old bug surprised that was unknown, just assumed it was a hard coded bug.

It was known But no one has been able to fix it, ever.
