Broken Leg Bug

[sackynut]

I serisouly hope this is a bug and Im not just retarted.
So whenever I jump out of a heli, or a plane at fast speeds at a high alitidude onto water, usually I just minorly hurt, and I swim away. But every now and then, its like my legs are broken, when I swim (even sprint-swim) I move less then a mile per hour and Unless i am right next to land I wont make it anywhere and my head is almost underwater, more under than normal, so i just have to suicide, messing with my score. and sometimes, when I make it to land, im still broken-legged and within about 5 seconds of being on land, I randomly die.

anyone else experienced this?

to give you an idea of how slow you go, I landed from a plane in the pool behind the hotel on Gulf of Oman and It took me over 7 minnutes to get out.

It's not a bug; it's a "game feature."

Seriously, though, 7 minutes? o_O Damn.

Re: Broken Leg Bug

this can't be a feature

this happened to be few times too

i'd be flying on wake and drop down to water from around 120 ish feet

and i'd sink down a lot and i'll be swimming around at the speed of 0.00273 feet per sec

Re: Broken Leg Bug

Use your parachute, then you will not have this problem.
Falling from altitude or at speed into water should kill you, the game engine seems to have trouble giving you a death, but thinks you are dead and is probably holding the corpse in water visual. Just pull your parachute about 10 feet from the water and you will be fine.

^, well one of the times it happened I was purposly not using it (it was for a stunt i was pulling, which I did succesfully but couldnt get out lol).

but the other times, a DIFFERENT bug affected me, called the parachute-doesnt-open bug. im not flaming or complaining i find it kinda funny.

Re: Broken Leg Bug

This engine bug assumes that the player is still falling rather than swimming, so that when the player finally touches land they die immediately.
