Gamebreaking bug with Shadow Image return.

Basically there's a new glitch introduced with the latest update. About each 2-3 min of a fight in cyro my character gets locked out of using any skill, dodge, block etc. Everything.

The character can "move" around the map on my screen, but on other people's screens the character just stays in one spot.

After ~1-2 min of this state the char is reset at the original location and all skills start to work.

It looks similar to a huge lag when you died, but still can move on your screen. But in this case it lasts for 2 min instead of 3-4 sec:)

Zero lag present (~100 latency). No lag spikes. No correlation (that i was able to find so far) with specific abilities used by me or other people.

NA Vivec.

    this sounds exactly like lag. you move but the client doesnt send the update to the server, therefore others dont see you move.

    On the other hand you see everybody moving. Even beyond client render range.

    Lasts for 1-2 min.

    Zero lag on the client latency and on other people's actions.

    So server thinks that you're stationary on one hand, but you're moving on the other hand (that's why it updates your surroundings).

    This is not a lag. This is a straight-up present from ZOS:)

    For instance you can clearly see when people start to kill you:) Just can't do anything.

    Ok. We found the source of this problem.

    It's 100% reproducible when using nightblade Shadow Return when out of range of the shade.
