From the UHall thread...
Now, can those of us that have been stating repeatedly that this issue occurs, have apologies from those that have flamed us repeatedly for insisting it to be so?Yes, this is real and a reproduceable issue. The current implementation for the RNG hasn't changed in years, and is no different from what a Comp Sci. student learns about the rand() function in beginning C++ courses.It feels like RNG gets "stuck" when doing something repetitive and can be "unstuck" when you do something like moving around or changing up what you're doing for a moment.
Is this real? If so, is it RNG or have my reflexes become so robotic that I'm hitting anti-macro code?
Now, given, you're no longer dealing with the anti-macro code. MrTact removed that quite some time ago. Unfortunately, the way we generate random numbers is still prone to cycling numbers (repetitive series), and we're planning on addressing it.
