Possible bug (only seen on Canis)

[Epson]

Thought at first it was exploit but after watching the replay again it seems to be like a weird bug.

In the replay it concerns Artifax's front 2 mexes. And happens around the 13 minute mark.

Artifax upgrades his mex to t2 and surrounds it with storage before starting t3 upgrade and pausing. To Artifax it's displayed a T2 mex on a paused upgrade. To everyone else (including his own team) it's displayed as a T3 mex on 22 HP. On attacking it looks likes its losing no health and is stuck at 22HP but to Artifax its a T2 mex losing normal HP.

Same as the Mex behind it. Looks like a T3 mex on 27HP.

It looks as if the health percentage in your view has the same status as the upgrade percentage in his view.

I've often seen a sort of double indicator when I'm watching a replay. In the main screen, you get two health bars. One of them is full green, the other health bar increases in hp equally with the upgrade increasing in percentage (which you obviously see when you hover over it with the cursor).

This is, at most, a graphic bug, although it may be annoying if the opponents have the same information (it's an indication for how long they still can use a single tax missile to snipe it, or one strat bomber, and the longer they wait, the more mass is wasted on an upgrade that doesn't finish because the building is killed). In replays, I see it on several different maps, not just canis. It happens sporadically, and I don't remember if it happens only in team games or also in 1v1 games. I also don't know if opponents actually can see this, but it is a possibility if I can see it as an observer.

isnt it normal that the health bar shows an upgrade to teammate?

i had that long time ago, but didn't think about like if it is a bug, but yea this happens with all upgraidable buidings

In his replay the opponent (Epson) sees a mex (Artifax's) at 1% health, shoots it, and nothing seems to happen. In fact the mex was at 100% health and is being damaged by the shooting, but the health bar seen from Epson's point of view seems to be based on the upgrade status of the mex, not the health status.

[Epson]

Thats exactly it but its not just the health, its displayed as a T3 mex. None of the other paused T2 mexes show this. And obviously a T3 mex is a good target so I would waste more resources trying to kill it.

A minor desync?
