I was going to comment the same thing about the black hole glitch if nobody else had because it's the exact same thing. Me and the boys always used to end our night of melee by messing around with it and we weren't allowed to call it a night until we got the gamecube to crash. Good times.

[@zenlis1291]

you didn't randomly die, it just got so fast that it surpassed the speed of your airblast.

[@umyum485]

i think the random arrows going everywhere was tf2s aim assist and other projectiles affecting the trajectory

[@the866-sushi]

But doesn't that only trigger for projectiles that are not reflected? I'm assuming you got that info from shounic, but the reflected projectiles only aim assist map geometry, of which 1: They were staring directly at each other and 2: There are no moving map elements on cp_oooooooooooooorange correct me if I'm wrong, please

[@co5micwaffle742]

@@the866-sushi The aim assist is for both players and map geometry (shounic used moving geometry in a special map to showcase it, but he also used players), and the aim assist should trigger on pyro reflection as well.

[@meteorytekrenaryte]

Yes, because TF2 has that. (Yep, I watch shounic too)

[@deadmanbomber]

this has been known by a few people. the more people that join in with the stickies or any projectile, the worse it gets. and anyone with a bad pc looking directly at it will have their game crash with 2+ people. also I am glad to have helped in the experiment. I was the demo that placed the sticky jumper stickies and was backstabbed (Hello, it's me, real pure trash!). its also not just this that can crash servers like this. multiple sentries attacking someone and a beggars bazooka soldier can also put strain on the server. it can get to the point of where projectiles and other entities like health packs and resupply lockers no longer function or work correctly. a server will show signs of struggling when rockets just glide on the surface of a wall/ceiling/floor and not exploding. I have two theories as to how this happens. 1: the game itself struggles to perform the massive amount of interactions in such a short amount of time that the game starts having issues trying to perform all of these actions and or the game itself crashes one too many actions or interactions occur in a short amount of time that they all cant be cleared fast enough. this is a combination of both client side and server side. if your pc cant take the amount of actions the game is trying to render, then it will crash. 2: the plugin and config used by the server could be causing this. I haven't tried this on other x100 servers that isn't blackwonder, but it would work differently I would imagine. those are my theories as to how it could occur. I could be wrong, but that's how I can see it happening. I'm generally active on these types of servers, so ik a bit about this type of stuff. Black Wonder servers might be the only one that are affected by this, I'm not sure, but its worth testing other servers on this type of stuff.

[@moejother3116]

Yes

[@kekcola]

DEADMAN?

[@wuzz111]

It more or less looks like a red blue line (if using projectiles like the arrow) though if you use a rocket then it becomes an orange line

[@btf_flotsam478]

The real question I see here is exactly why the game decided to trigger the sawblade kill icon. Maybe it's some counter overflowing? Also, the pulling effect of the airblast could be due to some shenanigans related to how the airblast is calculated. There's some strange stuff other than the explicable and relatively normal "game crashes due to too many items" stuff.

[@deadmanbomber]

@@btf_flotsam478 I only listed some reasons as to why the game can crash occasionally, or at least have the server get locked up and stuff doesn't work properly. I haven't seen or remember seeing much other strange things besides that. the airblast pulling effect for stickies specifically happen every other airblast it detects, which I have no idea why that occurs besides on how the plugin was setup or how the game handles airblasting stickies.

[@Sinstarclair]

7:37 My theory as to why it displayed a sawblade kill instead of a Huntsman headshot is probably because of how the game handles speed. So yes, by colliding and airblasting that many arrows, they reached the speed of the Sawmill Sawblades

[@AntiDragon]

If arrows touch eachother in midair, they break. Thats why you were unable to crash the orange server because both of you were looking the exact same way so arrows would collide with eachother.

[@postboysgameshack4547]

Me and my friends found this on a x100 server, if you use rockets and the pyro’s slowly walk closer to each other it will instantly crash everyone’s client that had the rockets loaded at that time. Huntsman arrows can straight up entirely crash a server.

[@missingtextureman101]

I think the crashes are caused by the entity limit being surpassed, thus causing the engine/server to crash. Thats probably the reason why the crash didn't happen on orange was because Orange is a simple map and has way less entities

[@racer927]

This is like the setup of Smash Melee's infamous "Black Hole" glitch. The poor server owner is probably looking at the dedicated server program and going "why does this keep crashing?"

[@michaellatner975]

One of the better ways to do this, is just find a demo with scottish resistance, have him put as many stickies down as he can, then have 2 pyro's airblast em, it'll take 5 seconds after starting to crash with the amount of particles being created.
