New Bug?

[Rogue845]

Hi all,

I don't want this to turmn into flame fest or an EA hate sesh, but I think I've found a new bug.

A couple of times now, I've been playing as Spec Ops and gone over and blown up enemy arty, uav etc. When I push the button on the detonator, I get 'Team Vehivle Damage'. WTF?! It's not just a message bug either, my score drops accordingly.

Has anyone else come across this?

And before anyone says it - YES I'M SURE IT WAS ENEMY EQUIPMENT!

Cheers all.

Re: New Bug?

Strange, it's only happened for me since 1.2, and it still happens after1.21.

Lucky me.

Re: New Bug?

i think theres a nother bug.. your walking in the game minding your bussines (far far away from any enemy) and you get points for killing people?? or get the sign you were killed by xxxx though you live and it counts in the server log..... WTF???

Re: New Bug?

Tem vehicle damage when taking out arty, You got killed by xxxx while minding (and continuing to ) your own business far away from combat are from 1.12 and 1.0.3, respectively, in my experience. Might have been there even before that.

Re: New Bug?

yup, I think with the current 1.21 you will have to change your gameplay.

Loaded up the patch, joined a server & within a few mins with my play normal style was -8 wtf, went to ground to get the score back and even more crazy minus scores for team mates.

I noticed tk for mines was also on so server side settings may haven't set yet fnar

Happens on wake when China reclaims arty.

Re: New Bug?

Yes, I have experienced it on Kubra Dam while bombing the enemy assets... it is so sweat to have +1 point for each asset and than due some bug destroying it again you have -2-2-2 teamvehicle damage... pffff O_O

Re: New Bug?

rofl, people still do not know about the arty capture? lmao

Ok here we go again...

All maps that contain a capturable main base that has artillery pieces attached are as follows: (64 player variants)

Wake Island: Chinese airfield (3 artillery pieces)
Kubra Dam: MEC Airfield (3 artillery pieces)
Songhua Stalemate: Chinese HQ (3 artillery pieces)
Strike at Karkand: MEC Factory (2 artillery pieces)
Sharqi Peninsula: USMC TV Station (2 artillery pieces)
Dragon Valley: Chinese Airfield (3 artillery pieces)
Mashtuur City: Both teams have capturable mains however since there are no uncapturable flags on this map either no cannons are converted, so these 2 factors cancel each other out. No conversions on this map.
Operation Clean Sweep: MEC Airfield (3 Artillery pieces) < However due to the large size of this map, quite often only the northernmost artillery cannon is converted because of the large distance to the USMC main.

The process: We shall use a Wake island round as an example, you are the Chinese commander.
How to capture artillery: USMC forces assault and capture the Chinese Airfield, spec ops forces destroy your artillery pieces. Now all commander assets have a respawn time when destroyed, this time is typically between 3 and 5 minutes. If your artillery is still destroyed when that respawn timer expires then the artillery cannon is automatically restored to full health. If the opposing force (My USMC team) is still in control of your Chinese airfield when that timer expires then control of that artillery cannon is transferred to the opposing team. After the conversion if I were to fire artillery at a target area then the 3 cannons on the small island, and the captured one on your mainland would fire at my command. Now if one of your guys were to repair that cannon before the respawn timer expires then you retain control of that artillery cannon. The same is true in reverse, meaning if you were to retake your main base and destroy the artillery cannon that I had captured, let it respawn, then it would then be back under your control.

Now this process applies to all of the maps and flags I have designated towards the top of my post. This applies to Artillery ONLY, you cannot capture the enemies UAV trailer, or Sattelite communications dish (Except on Kubra Dam, there is a BF2 bug there that renders your sat scan trailer and UAV trailer useless after the enemy captures and holds the "Intake" flag for a certain amount of time).

Re: New Bug?

Another bug my friend found out was that when he joined a server for some reason it said he wanted to kick vote someone

Re: New Bug?

I've had the "kick vote playerx" bug happen when I've joined a server... It's somewhat annoying...
