Seaford,

Yea technically its not a real glitch - just more of an interesting find i thought -- then someone mentioned its part of the bug reporting instructions - pull the debug info and latency when sending a bug report

lol I had no clue - I dont even know how to send a bug report - haven't really tried to

I did find the ALT + f6 interesting - after doing some digging I found a few keys and their function names

ALT + F6 is called the Resync Key
Basically in Networking Terms this means to Pause your entire Game itself while the data stream back and fourth to the server is catching up - its basically a mini - reconnect
it does lower your latency (ping) when you have been playing a while as it allows the data to refresh and catch up

Give it a shot after a hour or 2 of playing you can compare latency

I have also found the following keys and what they are called

SHIFT + F11 (The Kraken Key -- Does nothing on open servers - but I think on test servers when they had Kraken in the works it was how they called it on command to test its function and models - thats my educated guess atleast)

just some interesting info
