Status on squad bug?

[Lan]

Basically just wondering what you guys know about the squad bug and if its been fixed or still trying to find out what causes it. Had it on ramiel earlier sorry i forgot to take note of the server name but im posting this because i realised everytime the bug happens it displays that im on the wrong team as the picture shows below. Probably nothing but i thought there was possibly a connection.



Sorry if this thread is a waste of time.

if i remember correctly they can not do anything to the squad bug , why, i can not remember.

what i have heard it is is ppl making squads early in the game, then leaving it, then creating, then leaving, or something like that.

saposidly, its only cuased when noobs make then leave squads earlier in a match (before the 1:30 min mark...


i may be wrong thow...

The whole 1:30 thing, from my understanding was just to keep people from clicking the create squad button as soon as they can.

My PC loads maps fast, so i have seen the squad bug happen in front of my eyes on more than one occasion. What goes down, from what i can see, is that people are still in squads from the previous round. Maybe because they're still loading, haven't deployed yet, loaded too fast, or quit during loading, who knows. But it screws the whole squad system when there are squads leftover from the previous round, and then someone tries to make a new squad.

So the 1:30 thing is just good practice. It's not fool proof, but at least it gives everyone a chance to quit any bugged squads, or let everyone finish loading, before the squads are created.

And can we lay off the name calling and whatnot when it happens. I've been the supposed 'cause' before, since i was stuck in a squad from the previous round. But, because of confusion over how the bug actually works, and the frustration of seeing a great server go to shit, people lash out at anyone they think could be responsible. It shows a lack of maturity to blame people for unknowing or unwilling causing a bug.

yeah, its people creating the squad before the 2:50 mark. Hardcore servers have the rule set that you can create a squad after 2:50. People go about making a squad and leaving it right away as soon as they load up, and then it happens. It sux. Nothing PR can fix, still a Bf2 problem.

I take it even further - I believe SQDbug appears when the squads are not reset yet on the server (when you load a map faster then the server itself) and you play around with SQDs. Creating, leaving, joining etc.

I believe as soon as the server is ready to go, the squad sytem is too.

1:30 is a fucking pain in the *** and just some 1337-k1ll3r proof way to solve the SQDbug problem - but SLs need some time to coordinate their henchmen - so a 2:59 mark should be more useful.

It cant be because people create squads too early because neither teams had or could create squads yesterday.

1:30 mark is used on most servers because that way people with slower computers can get assets if they want. And 1:30 should be enough to organise your squad.

Yes it was and by the way my name was on the american team and i was insurgent thats why i said it may not have had me displayed on us for you but it was for me.

ya, i have one of the slowest computers in the game =(, and i usually get in at the lateset 30 seconds before the round starts, but usually in in between 1:50-1:00 time, depending on map and server.

and with what badmojo said,

every time i load into a game i allways see "________ has left your squad" or "You are the squad leader" or "you have left the squad" before i load up the kit select screen... so it could easilly be that thing mojo is talken about

The squad bug is a BF2 problem, so the DEVs can't do anything about it.

[ChiefRyza]

Negative on those causes, the squad bug is specifically caused by something else, and it is always as a result of a single person. I'm not sure if I should post the cause here as someone might actually try to do it on purpose.

[Megagoth1702]

@1:30 - ok thanks understandable and I agree with that.

Its always good to get some other opinions on this. THX
