Base auto caps till you lose.

Its either a new bug or someone was cheating, where your base will start capping as if an enemy is on it and it WILL NOT STOP even if your whole team is standing on it. Thus there's basically no real way to win with this bug as you can't wipe out the other team fast enough to beat the cap.

I had it on the frozen city map, assault game

You were probably at the wrong base. Don't worry, it happens to the best of us.

[Elder Thorn]

it's not even a new bug...

[NutUpOrShutUp]

Its certainly a new bug to me.

Its the first time I've had "base is being captured" start not even a second after the match starts
the cap count down didn't stop when all 8 of us got on our base

If your saying this isn't a game bug, then there's some cheating bone heads out there because no mechs can travel across the map in under a second and get cap with the whole other team on their base.

I was in the group with NutUp when this happened. It was, to say the least, a total surprise and very infuriating to all of us in the group. I can't stand a cheat scripting douchebag!

It's a pretty old bug, one of your team's mechs got the ability to capture your own base, just tell everyone to leave the base and you're good to go.

I saw this Bug too. All were dead only one of us and two enemies still lives. Our surviving was in the enemy Base and fought against the two still living while our base still dropping without anyone in there.

It's the third team bug, not a new one. One of your team members or yourself is in the "third team", and is capturing your base.

well, correct me if I am wrong, but Nutup implied that it started to cap when match started, and continued when his team stood on cap, which if this was a "third team" bug would not happen. Therefore, I would say it is a new Bug, maybe related to the "third team" bug which needs to be looked at. I hope Nutup and his team filed a Support ticket.

WHat is the best place to report "third team" bugs?

Just saw an instance of the "third team" bug in play. Is there a topic for reporting it in this patch?

[senaiboy]

Actually I have encountered this bug once a few patches ago, I was the one in the Third Team. Even when my teammates step onto the base I'm still capping it. Only way to stop it is for me to step out of the base. So it's the same bug I believe.

I confirmed I was in the Third Team as it says "NoName has killed etc" when I score a kill, and I get no extra C-bills or XP at the end of the match.

As to Terisonen, start a new thread in Patch Feedback if you find any bug. I think the developers are aware of this bug though, so I won't really bother.

Is it the same as the radar bug? where somebody dissappears off radar and hud unless you have them in line of sight?

Basically. It's a fairly common bug, but it seems to come in different levels of severity. The most common effect is the one you describe, a bit rarer is that you can cap your own base (but not the enemy one), and sometimes you cannot even chat to your own team.
