I think its the direction their moving in, not where their looking? Could be wrong.

It is the looking direction.

Replication maybe. We can easily update the sai if ELiZ can fix it.

Also getting criticals, haven't had any for over a year till now.

General protection fault!

Here is an example of the bug.

Also @Eliz/Jonny: I have no idea how you's have set up the SAI, however as I used to understand it, only some of the player info was available at a certain distance. So for example on hospital if a player is across the other side of the map, his indicator will not show the correct way he is facing. It will show the last way he was facing before he went out of range? I could be completely wrong but there's been a few times I have noticed that on hospital if you stay at spawn while people rush Garage all their indicators seem to point the exact same way even when they move through the hospital. I'll try get some screenshots when I'm on to visually explain what I mean.

IIRC in 2.8.5 players names used to fade away when they got far enough away, then reappear when they got within range.

Damn I must be idiot, bu I didn't understand what you're saying Eliz :/ Can it be fixed or not? Or do you want it to change or not?

If I understand right, that's a "feature" of the game BUT the SAI tries to override that and provide more reliable information but it doesn't always work. Personally, I don't think it's an issue. You mostly need a dot to show where players are and as far as I can tell, it's updated at LEAST once a second at a distance which is fine. If the rotation and faster replication updates can't be fixed then I would suggest removing the arrow on the player icon at that distance so people don't think the player is pointing a direction they're not.

That would also lessen the information replicated, making it more efficient.

Anyone know at what distance the Player Icons started to fade in 2.8.5?
