Did 2.13 break crouch-lean-below-light-from-candle-on-a-table?

[Knüppelaufdierübe]

I'm replaying old maps on 2.13 at the moment and found that some, I dare say, very very integral parts of TDM gameplay no longer works. Before, you could crouch and lean forward at the same time, find just the right angle with a bit of luck and slowly close the distance to a candle on a table just enough to put it out - without getting spotted. I know, it kinda is a stretch to believe a real human person could do that, but come on, game mechanics! This was pure genius, and f'ing fun!

However, it seems to no longer work. Which sucks. Is this a result of whatever AI-something-lighting-something described in another thread (all just techno babble to me)?

I'm probably the only one, but I don't like it.

Can you do a video of it? You can install multiple versions of TDM, so, you can have a 2.12 and 2.13 installation, and document the difference. If any.

I don't think anything in 2.13 should alter that behavior, if I understand you right.

He probably means that enemies now detect you more easily when you lean out of the shadow and expect to stay invisible to them. I also used this trick whenever I could, finding just the right spot where it's possible was very fun and also useful for stealing valuables under their noses.

I believe I know the bug you're referring to, which was fixed in 2.13: 

I never thought it was a very fun bug, actually I thought it was a strong enough exploit to make the game more boring. Dead simple to do, regularly turned you invisible in completely bright areas. Also hard to avoid abusing it unless you just stopped leaning in general.
