This happens to me too. Have no idea whats causing it. :(

Even though it only happens every now and then people have started calling me a lagger, yet they shoot me and get a point when it happens :D


Title: I found out the problem...!!!

I found out the problem...!!!

Well not that much, but at least how to solve it and how to reproduce the error

It never happened to me until I did "alt + enter" to window the game, and then "shift + esc" to free the mouse pointer from the game... AFTER that, it happens every time you play the game (even if you don't use alt + enter anymore)

To FIX the problem you can erase your .cfg and let oa to generate a new one... I guess its some variable that oa adds after you do alt + enter and shift + esc"

Ill run "diff" later to see if I can find out what variable is messing the game. Im tired now :)

(I use ubuntu btw)
