Sticky walls

This is getting irritating. I play lots of ghost mode as GR and BL, and when I play BL I can't bunnyhop anymore. Why? Because I get stuck to walls, pipes, rails, crates, the floor, almost anything I touch.

It happens when I jump, crouch, or even walk into a wall. It also happens when falling from a high place, like in lost relics.

After I get stuck, I become visible and start slowly floating. If I'm killed or the round ends before I disconnect, I'm fine.

After about 5 seconds of floating higher, it says 'Disconnected due to incorrect player info.'. I haven't tested anything on other game modes, but I'd like to be able to MOVE without d/cing.

When I do d/c, it kicks me out of the room and back into the channel, at which point I can simply join the room again. But it's still irritating when you have a good score and get stuck to a wall.

This seemed to start when you installed the UK server and fixed the crate bug in MM.

  • im sure their working on a patch for this issue. have you tried re-installing?
  • No, I haven't tried re-installing. I had to reinstall for MM which was a pain and also a big disappointment. I'm asking if you're working on this and how long it should take, because disconnecting from four out of five matches is not fun.
  • We've seen reports of this floating bug. Does it only happen when your bunny hopping?

    We are looking into it.

    saidin iv read many other threads about this and it appears its just whenever they come near an inanimate object (railings,walls,doors,windows, etc...)
  • No, it doesn't just happen when bunnyhopping. It happens MUCH more frequently if I jump though, which you need to jump to bunnyhop. I've simply walked into a wall and started floating, been pushed by another player and d/c'd, fell from a high spot and d/c'd, basically touching anything that doesn't move will disconnect me. Crouching and jumping, whether I'm only crouching or only jumping make it happen more often, it doesn't have to be both at once.
  • I have the same problem have posted also but from what I have seen doesnt matter if I am on bl or gr. it happens in MM also though doesnt seem to be quit as frequent

    in GM if your backing away from ghost shooting and hit wall or corner or pretty much anything often you get stuck and start floating, as the original poster said I have had it happen a lot when jumping down from high placed specially in Lost Relics, every GM map does it it isnt 1 map. I have had the disconnect due to incorrect player info happen before, usually attributed to lag spikes or some such but there wasnt the floating problem, since this last patch is when floating has happened my ping is always around 50 and my fps on average is 40 I run vista 32bit home premium just so you can compare and see if maybe it is related to certain platforms

    before last patch it was maybe 2 - 3 times in a 2-3 hour block
    now it can be as often as every game, sometimes quiting and restarting cf will help for a few games but often restart and come back and first game same thing all over again

    you can get down sometimes by moving Randomly kinda like old when you got stuck on something you had to crouch jump move all directions and it will let you go sometimes have had it let me go only to start again once I hit the ground too

    it is quit annoying when you have a great match going and it does this I have lost probably 10k xp and 5k gold along with honor cause it seems to register as if you quit the game

    if admins want any other info please feel free to pm me or look me up in game and I will try and get it to do it so you can see it for your self
  • I'm running Vista Home Basic, I have Ventrilo running at all times, I use Avast! antivirus, and my fps is probably 30 on average. And yes, I forgot to mention that you can *sometimes* get unstuck, if you catch it right as you get stuck. If you don't try to free yourself until a few seconds after, you're a goner.

    I rarely got disconnected before the UK server patch, and I've had the incorrect player info one before, except I didn't start floating.

    Specific problems are jumping from high points on Hakenkruez, Metro, and Lost Relics (it seems to happen especially often on LR) getting stuck on walls/corners in all matches, and it doesn't matter what team I'm on, you can get disconnected on GR or BL.
  • I believe this issue is similar to the one people have when boosting.

    I have noticed players getting d/c'd for attempting various boosts or just jumping off another player/object.
  • It's happened to me to in Ghost Mode and in the other modes. It's rather annoying and hope they get it fixed soon.

  • Okay, so I'm not the only one. I've been getting this too when I play in lab. While I'm covering bomb, I cant move and start floating slowly, then i get the incorrect player info thing. I usually don't have lag problems cuz my ping is between 9-15. Hope this gets resolved.
  • Send a replay....? you get disconnected before you can get the reply and if your playing on a 16 man game u get kicked and your spot taken before you can return........i mean u cant even walk around the game before stuck in a wall jump into anything cant play any maps where you have to climb a box ....its freaking crazy!!!!!!!! and now my honor is bad i don't quit games and this is what i get for being a paying customer i have put almost 100bucks into this game and i cant even hardly play anymore.....really bad bug =-(

    We cant get replays because we get kicked out before we can save

    Yes you can still save the replay, after disco it puts you back into the channel room, dont join another game. alt tab out of CF go to your Mydocuments then crossfire folder and find the file that is RTS then change it to same as the other replays CFR I think and give it a name so you know which one it is

    also works for reporting hackers if you dont want to stay in the game and get killed many times
