CTF Flag bug
#1
This happened once before a long time ago as well, then happened again tonight. What happens is, I grab the flag of the opposing team (from the flag post, not getting it passed off to me by a team mate), and then at some point before the 180 seconds are up, the flag is automatically returned to the flag post.

The first time it happened there was about 90-120 seconds passed when it returned, this time it was less than 30 seconds. Farnk was on me the whole time, so he might be able to confirm witnessing it. I can't give you much evidence other than my journal file. It shows me grabbing the flag, my health never getting very low (not dying), an absence of "You must take the Red flag to your flag in ___ seconds or it will be returned!" (usually says that every 30 seconds), and then finally Tempest capping for his team (impossible if the flag was still in my pack).

Here is the segment from my journal (I took out all "you are frozen and cannot move", "must wait to perform another action", and razor's [Beneficial, Harmful, and Last Target] lines to make it easier to read):

Code:
You got the enemy flag!
Game: Veranis (Blue) got the Red flag!

I'm somewhat aware of this issue as it has happened to me while playing CTF before. I skimmed over the code at the time but couldn't see where it was occurring. I'll take another look now and see if I can figure it out.

What's weird about this is the message "The Red flag has been returned to base!" never occurs in your journal. Can you confirm you didn't accidentally edit that out?

Edit: It looks like this might happen when someone on your team idles out of the game.

This should be fixed with the next patch, let me know if you notice it occurring again.

Awesome, sounds like you found the probable cause? I just double checked and can confirm that message you asked for is not in the original journal.
