JuJo2010...thanks for the feedback because this is all above my pay grade...lol

Greybeard its not constant, but i think TehFocus explained it perfectly. Ive noticed it on the Nak squad servers, both 1 and 2, and those servers dont run ace.
TehF0cus 23 Dec, 2017 @ 4:58am 
That is a bug that happens from time to time. Usually caused by desync or when a client as ACE running but the server does not (from my personal expierence)

Not sure if this applies to you, Jujo2010 but I would suggest just going in the editor and trying it there as well
