Has anyone else seen these strange 'duplication' bugs?

[HicRic]

I've been playing the 1.2 patch for a bit now and noticed a bug that comes and goes, I'm wondering if anyone else has seen it.

Sometimes when throwing grenades/ammo bags, nothing will be thrown when you click. So naturally, I click again quickly and then two fly out!

But worse, this has starting happening with APC missiles. I've seen a bot in single player fire three missiles from the APC in the matter of about a second, and earlier I was playing online and someone in the chat said about an APC firing 4 missiles in 2 seconds!

I've also seen a blackhawk pump out flares like there's no tomorrow. It must have dropped about three sets of flares in a second or so.

Also, I've heard complaints about people firing anti-tank rockets and TOWs, only to see smoke trails but no rocket, but if they click again then it fires.

These all sound somewhat related. Please, if you've seen any of these or had a similar experience, say so. Let's not get into EA/Dice bashing for this bug please, but instead if we can assemble some useful collection of reports and information on this bug that'll probably help the most. :)

Ha, yesterday I saw this too, only with the flares. I just figured since the
newer, more deadlier rockets, that the flares were made better too. I saw a
blackhawk drop different sets of flares going in different directions one after another.

hell yeah, yesterday a J-10 on wake was dropping flares NON-STOP like a freaking waterfall of them, everyone of course accused the pilot of hacks and he got kicked and banned, poor guy

I wonder if our resident Dice member could perhaps confirm whether this flare-spraying is a bug or a feature. :)

My L95 sometimes never goes through the whole bolt pulling out animation so it makes it like a semi-auto rifle.

There's something going on, looks like a bug on cooldowns in general. I saw someone spamming shock paddles earlier, he picked up like 3 people in under a second.

I can see an exploit in that. Doesn't it automatically recharge if you select another weapon? Well this player may have been quickly switching back to the shock paddles, looking like hes spamming it. I hope that made sense

I saw that happen to an APC on Mashtuur City.

I was sneeking past the APC and I hear this roar of rockets like what a mobile AA sounds like and saw like four rockets launching out of it.

It's good to hear I'm not the only one seeing this! I'm starting to see more threads on 'flare spamming' as well, so I think we have a genuine bug on our hands.

Yep I had two mdepacks fly out when the first didn't throw, and I clicked again.

Wierd. Seems DICE have made themselfs more work, again.

I threw a grenade but two came out of my hand.

I'm not sure if both exploded though.

Re: Has anyone else seen these strange 'duplication' bugs?

Yep me too with the ammo bags and grenades,2 popped out.

ammo/med/grenade one experienced here
usually when it throws 2 bags , the hands turn invisible and the bag remains in the "out" position

Re: Has anyone else seen these strange 'duplication' bugs?

Yep me too , two nades at the same time. Only one explosion though.
