I think its unfair saying unapproved since ive still seen this happen even now

[Dr. Greg House]

Yup, this is not fixed.

Clearly, this must be reapproved. This is the list I made to make the ghost charger bug occur:

1. Charge a player and quickly type !respawn <self name> with SM Respawn Command plugin and voila!
2. Make the survivors kill you while charging and carrying a survivor and wait till you respawn and early notify any teammates who is a charger and in ghost mode to quickly spawn.
3. Enable cheats and while charging, change to survivors team. Your now survivor will be posing a T and charging a teammate (careful about this, other bots will ff you and once you hit 1 hp, game crashes) or keep changing from team to team until your old survivor will have the animation of being charged and change quickly to infected team.

I also noticed that when I played on a ___________ L4D2 server, they actually made this plugin also detect other ghost human SI having this bug. Does someone have a modified one? If so, I need it because only this plugin does is kill ghost chargers not other SI.

Plugin doesn't fix problem, what to do ?

2020 !!!
Valve did not fixed that, just saying.. still happens..

[JLmelenchon]

It can even happen with the tank, this game is a mess. This is a bug who happens only when player leave or join the game.

I don't even get how THEY failed to fix it, much less allow the bug in the first place!

All it'd take, I imagine, is for a simple check in the actual function that initiates the pounding animation, for whether the charging player is a charger and not a ghost.
That'd prevent 90% of the cases that'd happen, if probably not all.

Unless doing that makes the game more likely to crash... or make charges fail to grab survivors due to the fragility of user IDs or something.

But if that isn't the case, then it really proves that the impatience of our older generation has doomed us all, for pressuring Valve to make L4D2 in haste.
