Bug: "Critical wounded timer"

[Natala]

When as a medic the red circle comes up identifying a person as "critical wounded", it vanishes 17 - 15 seconds before the "bleeding" person's time is up. You can still revive them, but the mini-map, nor their body identify them as still "bleeding".

It is a small bug, that I have asked a few devs about before, and seem to be confirmed. It seem to be no real rush to fix as it is fairly tiny, but I haven't seen a thread about it so I figured I would stick it up as a reminder to the team...

...and those that play medics. (You can still revive people after the symbol fade, you still got 17 - 15 seconds left.)

I think that it is not 15 seconds from when they are wounded, but 15 seconds from when they scream "medic!". When you are critically wounded, you are able to click the left mouse button to scream "medic!", this causes the red lightning symbol to appear on medics' screens. However, you are only able to scream it out twice after you are hit (and you automatically scream it when you are first hit), so make sure not to waste them. Wait until you can see a medic on your radar before yelling out.

I don't understand your statement, and I think you are only half correct.

The "lighting symbol" appears instantly upon "critical wounding". It might have to do with people shouting "Medic", but it is automatic, and shouting "Medic" afterward does nothing except alert a nearby medic withing hearing distance.

Even if you don't "shout medic", the "lighting symbol" will be there.

Problem is that when a Medic is charging toward the "lightening symbol", it vanishes before the "critical wounded" time is up. After the "lightening symbol" has vanished you still have 15 - 17 seconds to revive the person.

It is a small bug, the "lightening symbol" should last until the person is "dead".

Actually that's a rather astute observation, thanks.
