  • Today a few min ago i was in Hamburg doing a mission with my char WRobN, suddently it looked like something was steering also for me, so if i steer left and the other input made my mouse jump into other directions.
    It was like i was in a invisible box also, i hit non existing walls, and bounced back.


    no one responds in server to anything, like normal.


    a other user BasT also encountered mouse problems.


    So i couldnt do shit, got shot, and so i alt-f4 in hope it saved me from this non sense.
    ofc it didnt save my cargo wich i was collecting for hours now.



    Im pisssed of...
    I hope you can do something about it.
    Because this wasnt the first time such a thing happend. but this was the worst and was obvious a human action in my eyes.
    so thats why i think a hacker or admin (if they could do this stuff) thinks he was funny.

  • Your ship being in a box, and reverse your steering. Never ever heard about it before. I am pretty sure that the administration just has no interest to do that besides there is no way known for me how they could if they could.


    Dunno what could cause that. But tend to believe it must be an error of the game itself at a certain point.

  • hmm try stop ship and shoot at box if exist.

  • Serious, have a look at your mouse and/or desk /mousepad and clean it up if it is needed - it realy sound like this (i am not kidding).

    lol, ty for the tip but im no idiot.. :P


    I have many experience with hardware as well software.
    This was more like someone tried to steer my craft.


    But i know its hard for you to check what happened. And i dont wanna run FRAPS all the time to be abled to record.


    And yes my ship hit invisible things, i even thought of a cloaked thing.


    What happend i dont know, i only report this to you so you all know.
    Also my friend had mouse problems also, hes a technician who fixes hardware from pc's.


    We both know enough to exclude user side errors and faults. This was something the server/mod/game/hacker created. and i dont know what...

  • what connection you use? (wifi,cable,....) I play MP for two years and not heard such thing. If you cannot use sytem chat it mean that your connection to server is lost or temporary lost, dunno why. But other players do not have report something similar. Maybe you are accessing net via proxy with more ppl?


    ... in 1.9 you can encounter cloaked player but I think this is not this case.


    p.s.: have you running any torrent or similar thing in background?

  • ok trying to explain a bit


    1. there is just one admin and this one was not even online
    2. it would be the first time ive ever heard about such a problem (and ive many many years of experience)
    3. if someone would be hacking something then it would be your client PC as if such changes would be done you wouldnt notice them on your PC as the hit detections is done mainly dont client side.
    4. the hamburg system is almost 100% vanilla (only the graphics are different)

  • Hmmm... I don't think there's a hack to spawn a box arround.



    The only similar thing is when you activated ship turning(spinning on itself on left/right) buttons, from time to time it blocks your controls. But I remember those buttons have been taken out from the menu/options with 1.8.

    Chars: [CFPD]Michael~something (x25), [CFPD]~SQMS~{[(store)]} (x3), [CFPD]xfer, Event~Manager~Michael, StarfIier~EM~Michael, Event_Team_2, [GR]Michael[SP] and a blueprint of [CFPD]Sephirothis

  • They have been taken out?
    Why do i have them then?^^

  • When u press enable rotate and space = stuck (or enable and rotate and space = stuck)
    Solution: press again enable rotate command.

  • Or simply keep that option deactivated, it won't help mroe than it "can" damage.


    In 1.8, on my list there wasn't such option anymore, the other 2 buttons to spinn were missing as well. I never checked that detail in 1.9.

  • This is very cool command... like to pvp with rotate enable (w8ing for my gaming mouse..then tatatatata)

    I think this can be very close to solution, really there is some kind of tricky behavior when u activate some of those options, but i can't remember which one exactly!

  • There aren't more options to activate ship movement-related stuff than this one. And that option was giving this problem.


    For now, we can just wait for his reply about this option.

  • Well i think i found it.
    I will try to make the bug to happen again after this post. If i dont post after this i found the problem.


    The problem;


    Today without knowing it i did a mission in what happend to be the same system (hamburg) and got the same problem.
    And at the same location. But now i have coordinates.


    I was going to Lübeck Border Station in Hamburg, i was on a mission wich leaded me to the right of the station and gate.
    The location was more or less at this position; F/G 5
    And again i lost control.


    So i was irritated and hoped for a admin to be online.
    But unfortunatly i wasnt that lucky so im here now...


    I was chatting with some players BG_p0x_r0x and VardelXL5.
    Vardel said he also had some weird issues since yesterday.
    And BG_p0x_r0x asked me to go back to try and repeat the situation.


    So i did. i undocked from Lübeck and put a marker on F/L 5. Exactly on the middle of the line.
    And when i got there my steering was gone.
    Also when i pressed all stuff on scanner to F2 my way to the station again, my ship went crazy.


    The first time i could only do F2 to fly to a place but my ship didnt went crazy on it.
    The second time it did.
    It looked like it bumped into stuff while cornering. Like a invisible small planet is there.


    so i will try it again now.
    If the problem can not be repeated now i will post here in a sec.
    If it happens again i will hope someone will check this out themselves.


    Edit:


    Although mouse flight and LMB hold flight didnt work, mouse view in turret mode worked perfectly.
