[QUOTE="countcb, post: 25212, member: 867"] My guess is, that the physics engine is running with more fps than the video output of the game. physic calulates position and the current position gets drawn on screen physic calculates the next position which is not beeing drawn physic calculates again. checks that there is a colision, handles the collision, changes speed and direction, calculates position which is again not being drawn physic calulcates new position and current position gets drawn on screen. so there have been 2 calculated positions and one collision that was not shwon on screen. I think this is what causing these "ghost" collisions. That means the collsion engine works as it should. it is just not showing every calculated frame on the screen. And that the physic calculation is running more often then the screen is drawn is pretty normal and the way it should be. [/QUOTE]
