[Bug] Vanishing flag on Isle

I'm not sure if this has been reported, or if it's exclusive to Isle or not. I believe it has something to do with the Rover respawning ability.

Yesterday during a game of Isle I grabbed the flag and was halfway back to my base when I disappeared and reappeared inside my team's Rover, which was still on the spawn platform. Many people remarked how they saw me, that is to say the flag icon, jump halfway across the map instantly on the radar. When I got out from the Rover, the flag was gone. It never returned. It didn't auto return, it wasn't visible anywhere near the Rover platform, and though I thought it might still be on me only invisible, it was not capable. The rest of the map was spent without flag captures.

Different time, same problem.


edit: I guess for now it should be recommended to not use the rover for respawning if you intend on capping.

I've seen that happen. I was skiing around, with flag, then suddenly in the Rover.. people could still see me.. I died.. respawned, flag was lost.

Weird stuff seems to happen a LOT on the Homelan server. Not sure why or what.
