Well it was just like any other day, i was flying around in my LABC on my account LNS-Hamilton. On this particular day i was exploring the Cassini system which i had just discovered. All of a sudden a planet appeared in front of me (in the nebula) and i flew right into it and died.
The weird thing is (see screenshot) that the death message said i was killed by DRED|Au.Revoir who was in Leeds. So unless there is some new inter-system photon beam then i think this is a glitch Just thought you Admins might want to know about this.
had this happen to me once, I was on my Pirate Raven's Talon( in Kyushu) and I "Killed" a Ln Cap8 Carrier in Alaska ( oddly enough when your death message came up I was fighting the Dred in leeds)
Sometimes the server, when too many things happen at effectively the same moment, gets confused and bungles up client IDs in messages. Things like this happen. Totally harmless, but odd.
As an aside, holy hell, that's an impressive screen resolution. I didn't think DSAce even supported that. How many monitors are you using? What resolutions?
yes it is a good resolution, 4100x1024. Im using three 1280x1024 monitors with 130 bezel correction between each of them, hence 4100pixels across. Nvidia surround makes freelancer "think" they are just one screen, although i had to edit a lot of font/mouse files etc. otherwise the text is massive or to small to read .
Nvidia Surround and AMD EyeFinity support is something I'd love to actually throw into DSAce but the amount of driver API crud needed for that is just insane, so I don't think it's something I'd be able to feasibly do. Good on you for getting it working with FL though!

Success.

PSA: If you have been having stutter/FPS lag on Disco where it does not run as smoothly as other games, please look at the fix here: https://discoverygc.com/forums/showthrea...pid2306502

Well when i got back into Discovery i already had 3 screens on surround, and thats when i got the wonderful idea of trying to play FL on all three. There's only one problem though: in turret mode the ship takes up pretty much the whole screen. Thankfully turret zooming was re-enabled
Interesting glitch message. Havent had it happen to me - did actually once come across a player with nearly the same name as the chara I was flying. Since it was in conn that led to a hilarious death message. Now if I could only find the screenshot.
