The getting a kill before entering glitch

[Gasy_Europeon]

This glitch is really annoying, and it is really unfair within our players.

Here is a prime example;

So, is there anyway to fix this? It would be really fair if this were to be fixed, so players wouldn't get killed when the joining player didn't join yet.

Hmm. What difference does it make if the player joins literally milliseconds later? Ooglie would've still gotten infected. I'm not sure this is an issue after all. Besides, it may just be that the two things happened at the exact same time and the game decided to put a certain one first.

I wasn't in spawn. When a player joins his/her skin flies across the map, sometimes causing it to hit people making them zombies.

Oh dang.

Well don't people enter maps/servers directly through the center of the map? This meaning the only reason they do fly through a map is because the spawn is at the corner of a map or something.

((Just a theory. I don't know if this is correct or not. I just think that's what happens.))

Interesting, I've never seen this before. If this actually happens, then it's quite an issue.

I've had it happen to me, I joined the game, and suddenly I had killed storm886 who had been on the other side of the map :/

On the map named "ship" , i know the exact spot for that to happend 100% of the time. Everytime we play this map i go there lol, its in a corner and underground.

It doesn't honestly seem like that big of an issue and it is quite rare as well to begin with. Also (probably wrong), it only seems like the player flies across the map if they are lagging heavily on their end. But, if you are bothered by it, then just stay away from the corners of the map if you can.

I can't think of a fix for this other than having people join not become zombies for like 3 seconds and then automatically turned after those 3 seconds.

The server needs some time to check the spawn location for a map, even though this goes extremely fast it can sometimes happen that a person gets infected when standing in a corner. There is no real way to fix this except for Ethical's but that wouldn't be fair to zombies that otherwise would've gotten the kill. It's no major issue and I rarely hear people complain about it so there is no need to take action. It may be annoying if it happens to yourself, but it should almost never happen so it's no real problem.
