Subject says it all. Why is it that i sometimes see a new target on the overview of my alt a full servertick before i can see it on my main? Is there any setting that can prevent this?

Just had an inty warp off i couldn't even start to lock him despite him showing on my alt for a full second before he was visible on my main. Ingame friends who are using 2 accounts told me they have the same. one client shows the info earlier somehow... and it's mostly the alt on second monitor with lower resolution and lower general settings. i hope it's not that realy cause that would be pretty stupid like in the cs 1.5/1.6 times where you would play on the lowest resolution because it was easier to aim...

Not sure if my issue is related, but it seems likely.

One account shows someone still criminally flagged while the other correctly indicates that their timer has run out.

This is including local chat icon, overview and visual graphic... so very dangerous as it could easily get someone CONCORDokened. I've seen people attack me (shortly after a thief-timer wore off) with presumably the same issue and get CONCORDokened for it.

It seems as though sometimes I can fiddle with a setting or two on one account and get the status to update/refresh properly but not always, and not always on both accounts either.
My only recourse today was just to log out since now I'm afraid to fly! Is this a known issue? Is there a work-around?

The only thing I changed recently was some cleaning of temporary files across my entire PC, and running windows update (win7 64).
After that, I noticed that tasking between accounts, while running two as I often do, has been slightly different; sort of slower and more unpredictable.
Maybe I just need to update my graphics driver or something? Ugh

I'd come to conclusion that it is about settings and resolution.. unfortunately..
I have the same issue and tried a lot of things.. my main is on my strongest computer , with ssd and 100M synchronous optics internet, other is on lowend rig and on cable net. All are on home cable gigabit network. 3rd comp is on adsl. Main is played on HD res and full settings, others on lower res and settings... so thing is, nomater what i do main char allways has delay in overwiev.. It would be nice to shed some light on this thing by some of ccp guys..
