Strange thing - Keziolio - 10-23-2014
A noob friend of mine is having this issue with xonotic:
What's that? Very funny tho.
I think he's on windows. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this for that reason.

Ha. How did that happen?

Beautiful! Could you ask him to run Xonotic from console? Then we might have a look at potential error messages Xonotic spits out during the game. Also, could you provide more information, like, does it happen always, also in local games, or only on a specific server, or randomly?
Actually it looks kinda like your friend was very creative with the effectsinfo file and played back a demo ;o)

That's my bad, There's a troll called "Disco" in the EAC server so I made a fun little mode for him.
He's German but connects from a proxy in Bologna, Italy. I've added a Geolocation check for that area to start the effect automatically.
If you get that and say something that makes sense in Italian (ie: proving that you're not him) I get notified on IRC and can disable it. (I need to be online though)

You scare me sometimes and I thought I was the weird one spending $100 per month running servers.

Unbelievable, he actually lives in Bologna, I've thought about everything, but this was way too much!
His name is Vict0r, can you please disable this?
It's not the best thing for one that have just downloaded the game, Bologna is one of the biggest cities in Italy, and EAC is one of the most played servers, this could happen again, and it's impossible to figure out.
Luckily you read this post

Well, we haven't seen Disco in a while, I guess I can disable and see what happens. If he shows up again I'll put it back up.
Note that this is an alternative to completely banning the region so, as I said, if this happens all you have to do is make the admins know that you are not a troll and we can disable it match by match.

Ha! I'm so glad you look at this forum. Can you imagine the troubleshooting it would be

First thing i thought when seeing it was "thats code, not a bug"
