Investigating Phantom shots / visual markers from other players

[Siddo]

It does not happen with a great degree of consistency and I'm not quite sure when it happens or what causes it to happen.

But sometimes while playing, I can hear someone shooting in the distance - and my gun will flash and look like it's firing at the same time (visual error only).

Additionally, if a player has a poltergeist out, sometimes I will get a phantom polter indicator/laser. The preview poltergeist ball tends to stick and linger for a while.

 

[My Dime Is Up]

I've seen this happen too and its very hard to replicate, but if I do find something out I will update this bug report. Since it is a bug, I'll leave this open but it may take a long time to figure out what is causing it.

Also moved to public view.
