Grand Olympiad Bug.

Lately myself and others I've spoken with have noticed an occasional bug that happens when spectating an Olympiad match.

Sometimes, you will be unable to switch arenas / return without closing your L2 client. When this happens, you must force close it with task manager. When you re-log into game you will be in rune township.

Another big thing that comes with this observer bug though is, if you're in this state of being unable to change arenas/return from observer mode... you also gain the ability to take a players buffs from their Olympiad Manager NPC invisibly for whichever arena you are stuck in.

interesting.
so what you're saying is... a memory leak causes the game to believe you are in the arena instead of an outside observer...

can you use aoe skills?
that's old school...

I think the Olympiad Bug mentioned on L2guru is way more offending. People using Clan skills/Wards in Olympiad.

i have seen it appearing behind me... i just thought it was a ghost image of myself, but it was a person with a town name on them, and then they disappear real quick.
