Spectator view artifacts in (V)CTF

Sometimes the following representation is shown to game spectators in a (V)CTF match:

Roughly speaking, this seems to happen when there's activity regarding the flag (taken, dropped...), but I can't be 100% sure. Also, it doesn't happen in equal frequency on all maps.

Hitsounds seem to randomly disappear for some players after a map change/server reboot

Some players had a weird experience where after a server reboot they couldn't hear hitsounds anymore. They fixed the issue after deleting all utcompv18 related configuration lines in their .ini
We didn't manage to replicate the bug unfortunately

Opponents' stats cannot be browsed anymore (F8 key)

Weaponbob breaking when landingviewshake is active

Hi Deaod,
I don't know if u are still working on UTComp but here goes:
Whilst using UTComp i found the following issue with the eyeheight algorith fix:
When the fix is active and landing viewshake is enabled in the game options the weaponbob breaks completely. When i turn off the landing viewshake and respawn it doesn't break.

I created a short video of the issue and u can see that just landed= gets stuck on True when the bug appears and doesn't reset. Do u have any idea what could cause this? Overall the fix is a very nice quality of life feature to have but this little bug does break a lot since footsteps are also tied to weaponbob and well if it breaks weaponbob u become silent :P

Onslaught and Vehicle CTF Forces Player Model regardless of settings.

Hiya. I'm glad to see this project still being maintained! Although there has been some issues I've encountered on my own.

Regardless of any server/client setup I can find. Your own player model gets forced to another. This issue only seems to happen in Onslaught, VCTF. Possibly any gamemode with vehicles involved. I'm not sure if it's intended or not.

minimegatex.utx is required in server's or client's textures folder for the mutator to work
