I had some strange thing happen that was, moderately similar.

I was in spectate one day having kicked a TKer... and I saw one of our guys (Wang) standing in spawn, just jumping randomly and shooting. There would be people walking out of spawn and he'd shoot, so I warned him not to shoot in spawn.

It wasn't until later I realized, it was only on my screen that he was standing still in spawn, because the server would register he was getting shot by people, but on my computer he was just standing in spawn... it was bizarre.

But I've heard of people with the same glitch you mentioned as well... never seen it myself.

Morton, either type "Retry" in console (rejoins the server) or type "Record 1" and then "Stop" in console

fixed..!!

I just found it funny thats all. It surprised me at first tho.

Yeah this is a pretty notorious glitch with the game seeing enemies that are allies and people laying down going at sprint speed. What Zahl said works to get rid of the problem.

I have had the same problem many times, and the Record 1 immediately followed by stop fixes the problem, i really don't know why recording a short demo helps, but it does.
