Hi,

Just had a weird thing happen in a match on caustic valley;

Team was trying to stop onslaught of other team, i went far right and ended up in their base, alone.

Great, except for one tiny little detail: I COULDNT CAP?!?!!?

There were no other mechs, friendly or enemy around. I tried powering up and down. Walking in and out of red square. Complaining in chat. Nothing worked.

Was with a yellowang.

Did you take a screenshot and submit a bug report?

are you sure there wasn't a powerdowned light on top of the little base in center of cap i have seen this before and its hard to see them sometimes.

No it's a known issue that occasionally you are not recognized for the cap. You can be alone on the pad, but can't cap the base regardless of no other enemy in the area. It has even occurred that you can be recognized by your own base as an enemy mech when in all other ways your are not. In those cases you can cap your own base if you stand on it.

These issues are very rare, but both can happen. When it occurs you should always submit a real bug report.

One of the things i allways check. Love shooting the little buggers that are stuck/hiding in the structure. Also helipad was empty.

Best suggestion for screenshots is to download FRAPS
