"-=Tidus=-" STEAM_0:0:6029999 12:52 116 2 active

wat does 2 active mean...every1 else had 0....ANDDDD

leviathon said when he was shot or killed by this guy it said player name was SNOW CRASH and when i got shot or killed by him it said Renzai but neither of these players that i know who they arewere in the game....i think there is something fishy here with this guy...

Ill try to explain this here and hopefully it wont get deleted. The 2 active: the 2 i think is the last actual number in the steam ID, while the active part means he is actually in game playing (seeing as how sometimes this is listed as connecting when they are not in game yet).

The name change bug is valves fault on the last update ( :upyours: VALVE :angryfire: ) The update included something along the lines of "fixed name color even if player switches teams during round". I am assuming this is the cause for the strife seeing as how i have run into numerous cases where my name wasnt showing up correctly to others, where players would be in the status menu but not in the admin menu or tab menu, and also where some players names looked like players that have left to some people. I even heard of an instancewhere there appeared to be multiple of the same player....very wierd, but again i think it is valves fault, not a hack (but then who really knows)

hmmmmmmmmm even more complicated...i searched his steam id...it was ERIC3304....

this same thing happend to dirty larry...it said he was multiple names...and also like he would talk or type and it would say dirty larry...but when he killed people it said something else.... this patch is all sorts of screwed up...

I showed up as Rincewind to everone for a while. Then I played as Dirty (Rincewind) Larry as a joke for a while but originally it was just from the bug. so Valve :upyours: :upyours: :flipoff: :flipoff: :rant:

Yea. Valve screwed with the names... I seriously think that they don't have a QA department.

it seems to affect the client side only if you do a status and query the server you get correct info so it seems that the communication between server and client is what is hosed

which means you can do status in console and try to pick which players are in game and which aren't....its a game in itself!!!!!!!!!!!! yay valve!!!!! :upyours:
