i and another player were invincible.
At the start of the game i wasn't then i was.

server cindy.coldmoon.net
map smokin camels "gzdm1"
players 5
connection 56 k

i am fairly sure the server had the bug fix, so the only explanation i have is that i became a "ghost"(i can't remember being one) because of my high packet jump and therfore went "invincible" because no one can kill you while a "ghost" and after i went back to being a "non-ghost" i remained "invincible"

ask if you want that explained again ;)

Being a ghost when high LAG is normal, you can't be killed but also you can't kill.

The invincible bug is when you're invincible but you still play normally (ie not only moving, but also make frags).

I don't remember if i had a LAG when i had this bug, but i think not.

The gamemode was instagib, but it was with the old 2002_10_20 version.

My girlfriend has seen it lately in insta once and once in ffa.
It was not lagging or being ghost.
The problem goes away on reconnect, but it´s annoying

Sorry, didn't know what server ti was on. The server was stuck on Insta on SP maps. Hopped in, found it was an SP map and naturally started spawn-camping the point with the gauntlet. Anyhow, I quickly discovered I was even more successful than normal with my unscrupulous tactic and was invincible. Unfortunately I'm an idiot and didn't make note of what server it was or what version said server was running.

Anybody playing there that day remember? I logged out/in again and then we managed to switch the game over to Darth, with insta (which some ppl complained about - I liked Darth, sue me).

I was there... unfortunetely didn't remembered the server too, but it was probably the latest version, as i didn't experienced the double-ogro bug, while i have it *everytime* if the server isn't patched...

lol, this is even deadlier on a SP map ;)

One thing in common with the time i had it is that we were many ppl (~6-8) on the server.

I was playing instantgib today (can't remember the server), and became invincible once. There were 4 or 5 people on the server at the time. Disconnecting and reconnecting fixed it.
