It's nothing. That happens when you get bugged. Reconnect and it's fine.
If you lost your cd and have the old drive and have not reinstalled UT2004 or reformatted the drive, you can find your old cd key in the registry here ...

Lag/Packet loss. It's a variable name for the RPG Weapons actually, so you shouldn't see it in game.

Well, I'm not sure if this is what happens but I think it might be what happens. The data gets lost, corrupted, or incorrectly sent, and when the data gets there, its in wrong places or fills in wrong. The way I am thinking is that the comp looks at data for a name, fire type, image and stuff like that and when its in wrong places, it can't run incorrect files like for the image, it doesn't show up since it doesn't have that image (since the data isn't about an image, it can't have an image of such data). I have recovered from this one time during a map without dcing and coming back in, what I did was wait almost entire map for what I figure must have been the lost packet, or a resend on that packet and I got it and things went back to normal for me. But that was like 30 or 40 minutes of waiting without dying (dying after ressing again). But the name not where it should be and is getting replaced instead with name of file of that rpg weapon magic type is part of why I think it might be something like this. This is just what I am thinking and I'm not sure about any of this.
Sometimes a crazy move is the best move.

hmm...scion you sound like me :-)
there are many more "names" of these rw-"weapons", i had them a lot long time ago, but packet loss is not allways the reason, but thats another thing i didnt explain that now the 1017.th time here.


i found a screeny

when new patch was available and we got that "lucky-bug" (which spawns thousands of shields, doubledamages...)
was the first time i got essr, then i was weapon-(switch-)bugged too.
the strange thing i remember there was no name at all, and my weapon moved from shockrifle-position to shieldgun-position, but it still fired ssr-beams...

...

ats

ps: maybe this topic should be moved to bug-forum?
Do not try kill THIS bug !!! ->Image Your monitor may not like it...
