I created this topic so we can try to find out the reason for the flag bug which started to happen in 1.3.1. It could be totally random or then there could be something behind it. I just know that it's very annoying and it's not fun to play clan wars when this happens.
We were cwing one day and some spec (forgot who) said that it disappears after no one has touched the flag for 5 seconds and it's in the opposite base. Well, I tried this out in b2b and indeed, the BLUE FLAG returned to the base after no one had touched it for 5 seconds or so. I did it 3 times in a row, and it happened every time. However, this did not happen with the RED flag. I also want to add that this was in b2b only, it didn't happen in other maps. But usually when the flag disappears it tends to be in the opposite team's base. But then again, that's where the flag usually is so it doesn't prove much.
Also, I'm pretty sure that it has disappeared sometimes when you just try to throw and pass it to another player. It doesn't happen much but it has happened. Sometimes it disappears almost instantly.
Maps where I have seen the bug happen (confirmed):
B2b
Laos
Voland
Nuubia
Snakebite
Death2
So, I hope someone can add to this conversation so this bug could be fixed, because I'm sure you all hate it as much as I do.
