[0909] No Molotove Cocktail Flames

Main problem is I can not see the burning area and flames of the molotov cocktail I throw.

Actually that happened to me twice but now I can't recall the map of the first one but it was one of the Urban City maps. At that time I though it somehow entered the building but now I'm sure there is a problem.

Yesterday in Iron Ridge, in the forest, we found a enemy fob. I throw a molotov cocktail but as long as I see nothing happened. I was like WTF. And just run towards the area I throw where suddenly my man started to shout and my screen filled with blood. I ran and looked back. Still nothing visible. So I asked my mate and he said all the area is actually burning. :confused:

So again WTF? :-?

Happens alot with me too, only on some maps though. Usually I just stay away from the bottle.

From my experience, if you're a SL you can't see the fire. Odd.

I Usually can't see the flame of the moletov i throw but others i can. Just stay away from the bottle until you think the fires not there anymore or else you'll get burned

I was not a SL at that time :(

Anyways... Tonight I'll uninstall everything and re-install 0.9 and also will use that bf2cleaner thing too. Lets see if it make any difference. Though I'm not very hopeful.

Yeah, happened to me too while playing as Hamas SL on Asad Khal. When I threw the molotov, the bottle is shown on the ground and the sound plays, but no flame is visible. If I approach the bottle = burn. :? ??:
