"My View" shows that i just look into the wall.

"Brothers View" shows that he see a part of me! the blue line shows what he can see

It was no lag because we didnt moved for 2 minutes, a while ago we tryed that on other edges etc and it had the same result Sad

That's Renegade. It is indeed possible that the soldier positions differ on two clients. The lag reduction code allows you to be slightly off the actual position so that you will notice lag less.

Edit: There is actually another problem that causes this to happen, which is fixed if you use the wall lag fix. It will obviously be fixed in TT too.

Also if in first person its possible for you to not be able to look past a wall but for a part of your body for example your arm or barrel to stick out anyway.

I guess this explains why I always get fragged on sniper servers while reloading behind a corner. That plus my average 400 ping.

Turret and wall lag fix are in scripts 3.x. Wall lag fix also needs the server to be running these scripts to work, though.

What is the turret fix? Damage not being registered on client when the turret shoots at them?

In vanilla ren the turret (Nod turret but also e.g. arty turret) would shoot and hit you before you actually saw it turn. The turret fix made it so the client could see it turn.

To be more precise: the turret was not properly updated, causing all turrets to load way slower. At least twice as slow as normal, oftenly slower depending on server settings & your connection. This caused the turrets/vehicles to seemingly miss you completely whereas they actually shoot pretty close/hit you. Turret lag fix fixes this by making the turrets rotate using the right speed.

Both turret lag fix and wall lag fix are indeed available in scripts.dll 3.x.

The OP has an excellent point here, and so does StealthEye in his first reply to this topic. Smile
