Grapple line quirkiness

Okay, I mentioned this on another forum and some people said they had no idea what I was talking about.

Am I the only one that experiences this: When I grapple something, anything, I start to teleport and shake (I still go where I should go, but I'll travel two feet, then teleport five feet and fly two more)? This makes grappling 100% impossible since I usually end up slamming into an object. I'm not submitting this as a bug yet because if it's only happening to me, well, then I'm pantsed.

Yes, as soon as I played on my own LAN server I noticed thats not how it should work. I have this problem too.

Yeah I played around in my LAN server first to check out the new game and was like Indiana Jones flying around grappling shazbot. I went in game and immediately ended up with my head in the ceiling. I'm suspecting this is caused by bandwidth for the physics being too limited in larger servers. What constitutes 'large' though, is a mystery to me.

The grappler's behavior is very ping dependant in both the T1 and T2 T:V mods.

Has this issue been corrected allready? I hear it was better in 04/03?

If its physics bandwith related... then its already been noted that a ton of Netcode optimization didnt make it into the FP beta release. I havent noticed this problem yet, but my pings have been pretty good in the games ive played.

I assume this is fixed already, when they were tweaking the netcode they probably did something that affected it. It was very smooth in the previous builds so I would be suprised if it isn't at release.

the code has to be made so you move and see yourself and everyone else would see you as if everyone were in their own lan server but only the server would see you as you see yourself currently when grappling.

They just need to unbreak whatever they broke. It was perfectly fine before 05, whatever they altered borked a few things, including the grappler.
