Disapearing Crosshairs

Ravlin

We are playing on LAN (3.0 beta 3) on listenserver and sometimes it happens that crosshairs for some marines will disapear. Reconnecting will not help and we need completely to shutdown NS and start again. It happens after respawning.
We played only Combat maps.

DC_Darkling

indeed. happens once in a while.

just type crosshair 1 in console to fix it.

It also happens while shooting.

I was one moment shooting with HMG a then in another moment the crosshair disapeared. Reconnecting didn't help only quiting and again running and connecting.

Risme

Im also a victim of this bug <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo--> happened in combat map also, i was skulk and next when i evolved to a gorge i didnt have crosshair. Shutting down Natural-Selection wont help, nor does crosshair 1 to console. What could i do now <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

edit: I got it back when i disabled it first and then activated it again from console.

Same prob here. But i just can't get back my crosshairs till i re-lauch my NS.
Retrying or typing crosshair 1 in console still dont work for meh.
When it dissepear, "crosshair" still on.. so

Some told me to type "crosshair 0" then "crosshair 1" but still

I should mention that some alien weapons just don't have crosshairs. Are you sure you weren't using one of those Risme?

As far as I know all Marine weapons except Knife, Welder, Mines, and Hand Grenades have crosshairs, so this wouldn't explain Ravlin's bug.

I am not close to reproducing but:

we were playing on LAN a CO game (i think co_kestrel).
First the crosshair dissapeared for the listenserver player. He was marine. In a few minutes some other marines also lost their crosshairs. Seting crosshair 0 then crosshair 1 didn't help. When the game ended players switched sides. Players that lost their crosshair did not have crosshairs as aliens (parasyte for skulk, spit for gorge).
I did not see when the first dissapearence happend. For me I lost it while shooting with HMG. It's not happening in all games, sometime we play a whole game and no crosshair dissapearence.


Post your experiences with dissapearing crosshairs and try to observe the exact time of dissapearence. I will try to reproduce.

Are you guys with dissapearing crosshairs using direct X as the render? Direct X support in HL is badly coded and allways suffered from lots of bugs and lower performance.

I am always using OpenGL in HL on all computers in our LAN
