Orange dot blocking the screen

Darkomicron

<div class="IPBDescription">On the alien side usually after morphing into an egg.</div>So after playing aliens for a while I came across a bug.

(sorry for the picture of the screen, somehow I couldn't capture a screenshot, it was black :o)

This bug usually occurred after egging. It blocks a big part of your screen and it was very frustrating since I got it twice while morphing into a fade :/ ANYWAY...
The dot stayed on screen, even when I went commander or to the ready room. I had to rejoin the server to make it go away (losing all my resources in the process).

Does anyone else have this problem? I asked my teammates and they haven't had this problem yet.

I've had this before, and, looking at older threads in this forum, quite a few others as well. But since the devs are probably working on optimization to make the game run on PCs older than a month, we'll probably have to live with this for quite a while.

We've had a few of the in 216 as well, it should be fixed once 216 goes live.

This happens if you press B for too long, only tap the B button once and it wont happen anymore.

It's the new camouflage, hide behind the big orange ball and the marine won't see you!

Sebenza

that's the best solution to this.

don't fix it, just call it a feature.
