bug in current stable version (2.8.2)

I think this might be a possible bug, maybe it's already been discovered.

I was playing on Tiger's speed blast (and sometimes happens to me on bugfarm fortress as well)

When I 180 going fast, then right after turning adjust myself so i am grinding immediately, there are times when I actually go through the wall i am trying to grind, almost like the server didn't see my keystroke to turn parallel to the wall (cycle goes straight toward the wall) and hit another wall, should there be a wall there to hit. Maybe it's something artificial that I'm just seeing because of lag, but it happens way too often for it to be that I think.

Sounds like the old bounce bug that still happens every now and then. It was fixed, once upon a time, and people wanted it back.

Is it basically that you're grinding a wall, then you 180 towards that wall to go down the tunnel and instead you're outside the tunnel, heading the direction you expect, and there's a break in your wall?

nah thats not the one...although that bug sucks too....here's a drawing (yes my hax0r like paint skills) the arrows along the lines are the direction the cycle would be travelling

Aha, I see. This is the same bug being discussed in another thread, and the reply I just wrote there was intended for here.

If it happens on bugfarm, yell BUG when you see it.

That way z-man can take a look at it and the recording and hopefully fix it.

On the older servers, like Tigers (which is still running 0.2.6), you're just going to have to live with it.

Umm, this is the phasing bug z-man's trying to track down and smash once and for all, so if you can duplicate it at will, you might go find as many different ways to make it happen as you can on bugfarm and yell BUG for each one (with a description of what's going on, of course).

Yeah, if this really happens on the server (and you crash where the picture indicates) and not just on the client (and you get bounced back to the correct position half a second later) on Bugfarm, yell BUG. If it's just a clientside effect, please send a recording.
