Sudden strange player movements
DDay 1.9.0 beta 6.7, happens in both Hexen Deathkings and Plutonia. May have something to do with running the expansion pack WADs.
I'll be walking along normally and sometimes I get "propelled" backward or sideways a few hundred map units. It's a sudden, fast running motion like those scripts in Hexen that propel the player through doors. Except it happens in random places, and not just in Hexen. The motion appears to ignore some laws of physics, because I sometimes end up outside the level completely.
I've seen this more often in Hexen than Doom, but I the only place I've been able to reproduce it is in Plutonia MAP05. There is a teleporter near the center of the map with red banners behind it that takes the player to a platform near the megasphere. If I walk into the teleporter and immediately take a small step backwards (without doing any other movements, just tap the "S" key or the back arrow key) I get propelled rapidly to the left and fall off the platform. If I move in any other direction or turn around before taking the step backwards, the movement works as normal.
