I wonder how 'seing everything a bit earlier' is associated with 'skip protection'.

Wrong term, I means "seeing a bit in future" http://www.ra.is/unlagged/walkthroughs.html#SC

Exactly the same feeling I have also often . Out of my visual angle I am behind the wall, but the opponent hits me with the rail. Then I ask him how that can work . answere mostly short : I saw you..

i often have this and I believe that I do not imagine if i read this !

The question : this can be measured and attempt to eliminate this ?

Edit : i think that is not an individual case.

Ps: But I must say that I do not have as much presentiment of that
as this can happen !

Then I do explain. Skip protection/skip correction is to smooth the view of lagged player for others (linearize its chopped movement), ie it is the position extrapolation for lost packets and heavy lags. It is beside the point of topic and does not cause 'seeing a bit in future', unless extrapolation means future for you.

You forgot to mention that your quote is about frame skips, ie when the player is so lagged so server did not receive a packet from it during the server frame.

which is happening pretty often and serverside btw

wrong extrapolation + unlagged shot can give such feeling

Server frame loss can happens pretty often in case of floating ping without any packet drops or real lags from client side

True, but some actions are much more delayed than displayed ping compensation should take. First few weeks after switching from 1.03 to 1.04/2.0 I thought that there is some kind of "buffer cheat" in use here. Then I've noticed that sometimes my enemies comes out of the corners like sheep for a slaughter as well.

Re: [lol?] Railhitscan

I would vote for cyrax to see how he would fix those things he told above about. I am so curious because I don't get the logic.

And on topic, please finally read my quote of myself on previous page and consider it the cause of phenomenon.

Re: [lol?] Railhitscan

Generally you are right about offtopic - I'm just searching for reasons taking in mind that older e+ versions doesn't have highlighted (no only on-topic) things in such degree. You can say that is incompetence (to be clear - i'm troll there a bit Laughing but you can't say that its only imagination. Just because there is known memory corruptions which can trigger anything

Anyway, attention is drawn, expecting some action Happy
