Not sure where to stick this, so stuck it here....

Anywho problem is this, recently i have been experiencing an annoying little glitch where (usually during a mission) i run in, hack this, pick that, kill so and so whatever, but realize for some reason i can't hack this, pick that etc. (you get the idea), only to be asked by someone on my team 'why are you running into a wall?'

As it turns out, i'm actually not where i appear to be on my screen, or where my map shows me as being, i'm stuck somewhere else running up against a wall (though occasionaly just standing there). Here's a detailed technical drawing to illustrate -



And the only way i've discovered to repair the situation is to a. Use an ability or b. if i'm running i'll get the old 'cannot use an ability while moving' speil and i have to /sit then stand again then use the ability and i'm suddenly glitched back to where i am supposed to be again.

It's kind of annoying, and seems to be happening alot, not sure whats causing it, if it's just my comp or something or if anyone else has experienced it...but would be helpful to find out.

Cheers.

Another way to get around this sort of problem is to hit /jackout for a moment as this causes the game to double-check your location according to the server.

/jackout might not be an option while missioning.  Forgive me for asking the obvious but hows your connection speed and what is your memory lookin like?

You just have to start /jackout, then begin moving around.  You should appear where you really are according to the server, and not your client.
