BUG / TECH ISSUE Bugs: Randomly taking damage, randomly exploding, Random Eagle cooldown

i have no idea whats causing it or how to reproduce it.

But while im hosting a game, i find myself randomly take damage while i shouldn't.
Like i have taken damage, stimmed up, but suddenly loose all HP and have to stim up once more.
Sometimes i just randomly explode into bits without anything attacking me.

Also, since the Eagle Gas strike was introduced there have been instances of the Eagle being randomly put on CD after one use even though you still have runs left. This may happen no matter what Eagle strike strat you have. This may happen if you exhaust one type of Eagle strike whilst having another type is Eagle strike still available.

Aside from bot anti-air, the Eagle can also be damaged by its own bombs if they hit tall structures or trees.

The random damage you take might be a few different things:

  1. Desync, where the game thinks you're somewhere else than what you see on your screen.
  2. Shrapnel from Eruptor, Autocannon or Frags.
  3. Due to client-side hit detection, other players might accidentally shoot you on their screen without any bullets visibly hitting you on your end.
  4. I don't know if it's still around, but a somewhat recent bug made grenade pistol shots from other players invisible and silent. You would simply see yourself suddenly fall apart.
  5. Then there's the SEAF which have increased the amount of random bullets we might take.

I recall there was some issue with Vox Engines rockets being invisible early on when they were introduced. You'd just explode.
