BF2S Forums A way to remeve the red/blue bug...

Works only if you are on foot and within seeing range....

When I snipe, I often don't see the actual skin of the other player. And if it's another sniper you can't really make difference between bad or good.

Also if you are in a vehicule, you can't really trust what you see has most of us steel them from the other side at some point in a map.

So the tag is important.

What I don't get is I get this problem very very rarely and some people here some to have it happen to them a lot. May be it is realated to your hardware or even the software running in the background.  All I know is after playing this game close to 600hrs, it happenned to me only 2 or 3 times. And never happened to me since I got my new gaming gear (Dell XPS M170).

the red/blue bug seems, to what i have saw, te be happening more on certain servers and less on others.
about apps running in background, i close almost everything i dont need during gameplay, including anti-virus and such. Computer-wise, I have Athlon64 2.41Ghz, at 2Gb kingston 400mhz ram, ati X800XL 256mb, and antec truegold 480watts power supply, so i dont think that has anything to do about it.

I'd have to diagree with Buzerk and agree with these last two guys. I doubt that it's a cliend site, hardware or software issue, it almost has to be the servers fault, and stoner may be onto something with the autobalance.

As for the real subject of the post, removing the names technicaly fix the problem, but it would lead to other, and most definently a lot of TK's. Nobody wants a Private First Class hopping in an APC getting 25 TK's, making his team loose and getting demoted to a Private now do we?

I have the bug,that i see an red or blue tag on the ground, like a base, but under the ground is no base, eh?

Sorry if there was already a post on this...


But a way to get rid of the red/blue bug would be to simply remove all the red and blue name tags...

Personaly, 95% of the time I shoot the enemy by judging to his/her uniform colour.. Simply because I noticed early on when I started to play that the name doesn't appear right off the bat all the time, and I was too slow reacting to an enemy..


but then I am not sure how we would tell on what side is the tank/plane/humvee/chopper in front of us... so I guess it's not perfect.

Finally! Someone else who uses their brain while playing. I do the same thing. The name tag doesn't define out right which side the person is on. Its the uniform.

Keep up the good work, lol

I haven't seen this bug until I installed 1.21. There should be a manual client and server command to reverify team alignment. So far, the only way I know to fix it is to rejoin the server, or swap teams a couple times.

Yesterday I actually saw the enemy name go from blue to red.I was  playing Karkand and the enemy AT was showing a blue name ( I was right behind him as he was firing on our tank ) , after he fired his rocket , he switched to his sidearm and then his name turned red. He died from lead poisoning right after that but it was the first time I have heard/seen it change like that. The previous map I got a teamkill from a blue enemy too when we fired on a heli (i was our heli gunner) I was getting team damage and a teamkill while my pilot did NOT get the team damage. Weird.
