This really annoyed me yesterday, it happened twice that the squad I was in had 7 people. They happened once in each round on Suez Canal I think.

The first time I was in a squad where I was the only mic, and it wouldn't let me leave it. The message about not joining a squad came up for all of us and after the given 90 seconds I was punkbusted. I just jumped back in.

The next round during the minute before the game it happened again there was 7 in our squad this time my SL had a mic he thought someone was glitching, I wasn't quite so sinical. After a couple of seconds he said it was ok we had 6 again but my screen said 7, I kept quiet.

Also during that map our spawn beacon was flying irregularly around the map, like it was on a gunship, I think it was just me but not sure.

I wonder is this something to do with me, EA master server or the 50 person server.

When you notice that you can't leave a squad, there is unfortunately only one thing you can do. You have to reload the map.

You may hear this referenced as someone being "squad bugged". Resolution: disconnect from the server and reconnect.

or, you can even just stay there until the end of the round.. that being said, i think a TG server will kick you...

I've only ever been squad bugged at the beginning of a new round. Squads are supposed to be broken up and everyone unassigned but for some silly reason it doesn't work out that way. How long has this been happening in the grand scheme of BF 2142?

Since Day one.. there is also a bug floating around where in Titan mode, you sometimes cannot spawn on the damn thing.

Or you could try commanding that round.

When you switch teams, you switch before the squads are removed. I'm not sure why you join the squad automatically though. But if you look on the squad screen before the 1:30 timer starts (for those who join early) you can see all the squads being removed or not getting removed.

STOP! If you get to command, you will stay. You must stay in command until the next round after that it should be fine. Or on the other hand the other bug with losing your unlocks could happen, this has a small chance of happening though.

Hmm, everytime I encounter the bug, I'm not able to leave the squad, but also I'm unable to apply for commander either.

It's usually wise to disconnect and reconnect.

I believe the bug usually occurs when you are forced to switch to the other team for server balance. You are in effect on the team, but not a member of the team. On the one hand you are in the same squad because that's the squad you were in when you were either EU or PAC the round before. On the other hand the server counts you as a member of the opfor and you cannot leave the squad (you have no squad on the other side technically) and you cannot apply to the CO position (cannot lead the opfor team obviously).

The only thing to do is force a disconnect and reconnect so the server can place you on a team properly. The only way to prevent this is to manually switch sides to perserve server balance and not let the automatic balance kick in.

Kinda sucks really because you lose all your field unlocks in the process.

Hehe, 'squad, hit your suicide buttons-now!'

I have never seen the 7 man squad bug before. How common is it?

I've gone weeks (months?) without seeing it and then last week it happened to me three times in one night.
