Sometimes (very seldom though) I get a weird squadbug.

I'm squadleader - lock the squad and start inviting my fav. squad mates. Sometimes though, one of those who're invited are listet twice in the managing screen and because of that I can only invite 4 squad mates... Kicking that person/making him leave and reinviting solves the problem - still thought I should mention it.

nothing to do with PR, squad related bugs are vBF2 bugs

i belive its the servers, some servers gets this alot.. and Al basrah seems to be one of those squad bug affected maps aswell but then agian

Probably just coincidence, if you spend more time on one server than the other it may seem that that server is affected more. Phsycological.

I play alot, i mean alot and its only on a few servers it happens on.. and ESPECIALLY basrah i promise lol.. do i really need screen shots to prove it ? but then again I could be wrong as always =( one more point for you vikingo =(

some servers happen more than others yes but that dose not give us any clues to what cuase the bug and even if we did know, all we could do is plead to EA to fix it, which they wouldn't anyways...

but finding the bug might be one step closer to eliminating it, however now dont go waste your time on finding a bug like that... go make some more maps instead

Happens on 24/7 servers often, also the spawn bug likes to occur.

*kicks EA in the face again for not bothering to fix this*

Actually I'm not sure it *is* just a bug in the usual sense... I *think* it happens when:

1. A squad is formed
2. The SL locks the squad
3. Immediately prior to/simultaniously with the squad being locked, someone attempting/managing to join the squad

When it happened yesterday, we reformed the squad. Once we'd all left the squad, the squad remained with a guy who hadn't shown up on the player list still inside it, with the squad locked. He hadn't just re-formed the squad (I'd been watching the squadlist as we left, he just appeared in it).

I'm guessing what happens is that the server and the player's client get confused as to what happened first; the squad being locked or the player joining it, and the resulting mess is an invisible player in a locked squad- making the squad appear to be 7/6 when full or, for example, 5/6 when there's only 4 members visible in the list.
