Really strange bug

[MacavitySWE]

Ok, it all began today when they launched the new patch. All seemed fine at first until I wentup the stairs to the HART... and crashed instantly. My first thought was "What the..?" since I've never crashed that way before.

So relog and come back in, even join up a squad and we go to cyssor to try and get some bases back from VS.

We enter the warp and come to the closest tower near the NC Sanc gate and begin a fight. Soon more VS come along and we have to pull back into the warp for reinforcements, but to my utter surprise the VS come into the NC sanc warpgate w/o getting killed like a enemy is supposed to be.

Oh yeah, to add to this the lag was getting freakin ridiculous, text-chat lag of 20 secs.

Also, local chat, which is supposed to go to friendlies only within 100 metres now was between all empires. We could hear VS chat: "ok so what's the plan? we gonna wait here or go on?" and some VS reavers and troops even came to the warpgate's center trying to get to our Sanctuary. I took some screens also, the whole thing was getting weird so we recalled and logged.

Arent the enemies supposed to be unable to get inside your sanc-warpgate?

And lastly when I tried to quit the game, it came as far as the server-list screen, but it froze right there. Everything at that screen was locked.

I don't think they are supposed to be able to...

Hmm I didn't know that, I've never been inside an enemy warp gate. Me and my friend went on an ant run, and his galaxy took me to the warp gate, but before we got there we got shot down. Sounds like a very strange bug, I also heard enemies talk to each other once like that before.

Yeah, in a previous version of the game I was on Hossin and got shot down while in my reaver.

So I scrambled to the nearby NC sanc gate to recall safely when I got pursued by this VS magrider. I managed to get into the warp and the magrider didn't want to enter after me. I think he/she had tried that before sometime and got killed, so the driver didn't want to do it again.

I haven't seen that happening in the previous versions, but this current version seems to allow people into the warp, which is kinda strange.

The one time I tried to enter the VS sanc wg on oshur it didn't let me in. It doesn't automatically kill you, just acts like a normal wall to nme empires. Oh and today I saw a reaver in the basement of an interlink facility but that bug is old. I got a screenie if you wanna see.

And can the nme hear local (/l) chats if they are within the radius??

[Smaug]

No you aren't supposed to.

Yeah I know, and even a few minutes ago I could hear local "Hello" and "Greetings" from vanus messing around

You can hear enemy voicebinds, but not /l chat, although sometimes when the server is about to crash you can. And no your not supposed to be able to get into enemy sanc WGs, but I know of one way that you can, you can't do anything with it though so it's kinda pointless.

[Smaug]

Lol yeah you can have some lengthy conversations with only voice macros.

Enemy Sanctuary gates are like brick walls. Take this from me, I tried to enter a NC one once with my ANT, and it was like hitting a wall. Heavy damage. My buddy Maddad69 tried with a Reaver, full crank and he blow up when he hit.

As for the chat thing, It has not happened to me yet, but maybe that's cause I haven't played much PS since the newest patch came out.

The other night when the CDL went on our Tank Binge recorded by Manitou on the AGN site. We ended up at both the VS and the NC sanc gates. We weren't able to get vehicles into the gates but we were able to walk into the gates infantry wise. As for the interempire chat, don't know never seen it.

I know for sure we couldn't get vehicles in, because I saw some of our guys going in and forgot it was a sanc gate because I saw our guys going in.... Flew my god damned skeeter right into it like a brick wall.
