I was on yesterday having only had the prm mod a week or so and by the way its excellent but i have noticed the Support guy throws two of everything, grenades and ammo bags, it doesn't happen for me on normal BF2 just with this mod. Cheers.........

This happens with every class, with anything you can throw. Grenades, ammo bags, smoke nades, etc. all throw double. It's an issiue that the DEVs are trying to work out.
However, I have never experienced this in normal BF2, so...

always happens to me too, on all classes. At first I thought it was a gfx driver bug, but I am not that technically minded regarding things that would cause that.

Yeah this is a wierd issue.... for some reason it only happens in dedicated servers, not in single player.
I'll have to try it with another mod to see... but I did hear at one point that this is a bug in BF2 and it happens in all mods. Anyone tried another mod to see if this is happening there?
It's an annoying bug, but it is not actually throwing 2 items... just a graphical glitch.
If this is in PR, then we'll see what we can do to fix it.... but there is nothing that I can think of that we are doing that should cause this.

I started getting it in Vanilla when they released 1.2. I get it all the time too, and it can be pretty annoying.

Just remember that it is a graphical glitch only. It looks to me like it has something to do with dynamic shadows (like if the shadow floats in mid-air) and that makes it look like 2 items...but it's just one.

I am getting the same bug, but dynamic shadows are "off" in my configuration, so it would seem weird if that was causing the trouble.

I really hope this is fixed in 0.3. Very annoying and puts me off when I throw nades!

I can confirm that it hasn't appeared in .3 AS YET, but I cannot promise anything

Wonderful news! Keep up the good work, DEVs.

Looks like I spoke too soon
This gfx glitch seems to be coming from an ATi gfx driver glitch when running BF2. Just so you know that it isn't shoddy coding on Project Reality's part
If you are getting this glitch, all we can really do is suggest you update to the latest ATi drivers available for you for your OS/card. I'm afraid other than that, there's little we can do this side of things.

This issue has already been identified and is with the testers. Seems to be an ATi bug. We can't do a thing with it in that case.
