Thread: Another weird bug yesterday

Yesterday, on Fall of Berlin, I was unable to spawn on my squad leader.

There WAS a green dot, however. It happened to be the enemy APC on the defending side. The entire round, I could spawn whenever I wanted well behind enemy lines when anyone got into the enemy apc and started driving it. I would spawn right next to it.

It was confusing as hell, I kept thinking my squadleader had snuck around really well and got behind everyone.

Once I figured it out, I told the squadleader. When he placed a spawn beacon, I could spawn on that also, so i had TWO green dot spawn locations to choose from.

Apologies to anyone I killed while that was happening, it was wacky and I had no idea what was going on for a while.

Has anyone ever seen this? I figured it out after a minute and just learned to not spawn on the green dot that was moving. It seemed that everyone in the squad had this issue.

Maybe it was just completely random, but it sure as hell was weird. At no point could I spawn directly on the squad leader.

If you are defending Bavaria sometimes you can spawn in the enemy uncap in any of their empty APCs. Random.

Well, sometimes that is due to someone running back there, blowing up the assets, and hopping in all the apcs to annoy the enemy team.

This time, it was enemy APCs that were actually being manned by the enemy, and only when they were being driven, as far as I could tell.

Yes it's a definite bug. It's happened to me in the Walker on Tunis Harbor were people kept randomly spawning on the walker. Just try not to abuse it if it happens to you regardless. It's still considered exploiting a bug.

Roger that, I did spawn in several times totally confused, but didn't do it again once I realized what was happening.

I kept thinking how crappy my luck was that I spawned in the exact second my squad leader got ran over by an apc....

LOL.....yea its a bug. It's happened to me on several occasions but not on an enemy APC, but on an enemy soldier.

I remember the first time it happened and I was "WTF....where are you squad leader? Wait....I'm at their uncap...holy hell!" I thought it was a one time thing, so after I killed the closest enemy and got anhilated half a second later by the swarm of red dots.....I spawn again on green and I'm right behind the same guy I just killed and he's running flat out in front of me in the middle of nowhere with no one else around and oblivious to me untill I blew his head off.

Now I'm thinking it's tied to that soldier, but I spawn again and yep, he's right in front of me looking at me as I spawn, so I riddle him with my voss again.

I didn't spawn on green again that round, but you had to know that guy was pissed! He had to have been spoutting abusives at me for days thinking at first "WTF...how's this guy keep finding me...out in the middle of nowhere?". Then I'm sure he became the first devout "Mustafah the Hacker!" disciple.

LOL....

Oh, man, I just seriously laughed out loud Mustafah. My officemate, non gamer that she is has no idea why I just started laughing.

That's my kind of humor, thanks.

Yeah been happening alot if your talking about the PC version. No idea about 360 or if its even effecting both games.

I think its just because of the games popularity and servers have been prioritised for full games only which is causing the delay. A month or two ago starting a game with only a few people in lobby was easy but now that so many are playing only full filled lobbys seem to start in acceptible times.

Switching the lobby leader seems to help aswell. Ive seen it quite a few times with the original lobby leader searching for server for upwards of 5-10 minutes. Everyone tells him to change lobby leader and game starts almost instantly. No idea what that is about.
