But it is a major bug and a major annoyance The other bug is minor and quite funny actually, basically if you host a listen server then you have the power to turn yourself into an invisible unkillable zombie. Fly up a while then come back down without braking but press b to access the respawn menu before you crash then afterwards you press esc you will not have died, your health will be stuck at 0 and you will be unkillable, you will have no wepaons but are able to stock up at an inv, the best thing about it is that you will be floating around in your death pose ^^. Anyone in the server will not be able to see you, but they will get hit by your weapons, and no, it doesn't work on a dedicated server ^^    Report

Anyways, the mention of "grapple bug" made me remember something that im surprised no one else has posted. I hope im not reposting because I did read the grapple thread on the suggestions/requests forums and did not see it mentioned. The grapple bug happens when you delatch and very quickly after change weapons. You continue to swing around on an imaginary cord and it requires you to shoot the grappler twice to delatch finally (I think it may even take another grapple away.) Cant believe I, or no one, ever thought to mention this in the initial flood of requests. Most likely im probably just an idiot and missed it.    Report

However, I’m not concerned about bugs on a listen server. Because the client acts as the server as well, that particular user actually has the ability to do all sorts of crazy things. That is simply beyond the scope (or care) of this project. In fact, I’ve always found a listen server to be particularly useful for debugging because of the client/server issues. =) -rapher    Report
