Auto Flag Return Timer.
IF you haven't noticed, sometimes if a flag carrier is killed the flag gets auto returned.
Same with flag throwing.
My guess -
The auto flag return is based on an OVERALL timer that returns flags to their original "flag holding" placements in every 30 seconds or so increments. If flags could be free of the "overall timer" and have individual timers, this would fix the flags' auto return timer.
side note - I've been gone for 20 days from Soldat... Weapons are pretty balanced, but Ruger's speed is slower and is 'bout time it gets its power back up to around 1.2.1 power.

If you go around killing flag carriers you'll notice the bug's still there, just that the interval is probably longer.

It's only there if the server doesn't have the dedicated server update.

Ruger is alright. I think the reload speed should be like, an eigth of a second faster though.

Yay, another news bringer with yet another "constructive" critiszm about 1.3.1 :)
I suggest you give it some time, play some more.... before starting any more threads of "My thoughts about 1.3.1"
Ruger was nerfed just because it was what it was, so bringing it back isn't so wise now is it?
I actualy REALLY like the new ruger! it really makes the user think about each shot and aim it, if he hits it good, the weapon will be very usefull. which basicly means, it requirs skills and practice :)
Doesnt get any more perfect than that.

Bug didn't come until 1.3, when flag throw was 'invented'.

I don't think I updated the u13 servers yet because the only time I remembered to was when the server was full, but I may be wrong.
Even if it is still there, it is a bug (as I'm sure you're aware of by now), and therefore it will be fixed in due time if it still needs to be.
