Invis Players

[plastik]

I know theres a topic about this already, but I couldnt locate it, so oh well.

Now I saw at a security website that there is an exploit for the r1q2/admin software that if you try to get userinfo too many times it will default you to invisible.  Of Course, there is a patch, but what I'm wondering is if it exploitable still, since alot of people are invisible.  I usualy see one per game, and they are usually last to join the game.  I wonder if the admins can analyze packet/pc data during these little bugs.  As far as I know, no one has been able to recreate tastyspleens server bug, or correct it.  But I have my suspicions, because a couple of people have been invisible more than 3 times, and for more than one game, and I've killed a few, and they just disconnect , reconnect, and their still invisible!  I myself haven't been invisible once.  When you kill an invisible player, they become visible on the next respawn.  It's not too bad of a bug, because it is manageable, but I would guess tastyspleen would want to find the root of the problem before someone else does out there.  Because right now, since it is dubbed a bug, anyone invisible isn't blamed for it, so if they are themselves exploiting it intentionally, there is no reprecussions for them.

I'm just pondering if it is because of any bug fixes or updates applied, if it is time sensetive, or some other type of factor, like skin type etc.

I was just invisible in a mutant game a few minutes ago.  Damn fine fun if you ask me
It's happened to me my 5 or 6 times.

thats all fine and good, but some have been invis game after game.  So I doubt that situation is random.  It's cool to get invis if its like a lottery, randomly. But its another problem when players come in invisible all the time.

I had invis a few months back on the map TLTF, and I also spawned with like 500-600 health I think, or maybe it was 5000.  Something fairly high anyway.  Was fun =)  I believe there's a lottery on some of the servers where you have a small chance of spawning initially as invis.
