Cant foward spawn to RP; Objective control showing wrong on map
Around 1900 BST I lost connection to net, so I restarted the PC and modem.
I got back in game and choose my slot.
After I got my boots on the ground, I could not forward spawn on my FT's RP. Other FT members did forward spawn normally.
At that same time, the UKR side held all three Foxtrot zones, but after I JIPed my map was showing F1 and F3 as red, and F2 as blue.

I tried these things and still could not forward spawn to RP and map bug was still present:

-rebuilding both menus.
-reconnect to game without restarting Arma.
-reconnect to game with restarting Arma.
-changing kit at ammobox.
-taking the different slot within my FT.
-taking the slot within the other FT.
-respawning

Again great feedback.
The map zone ownership issue is known JIP issue and should be fixed in C6.

Our investigation does show that the server side keeps the truth straight and accurate.

As far as these other issues, I have seen these before on battleday, but I can never reproduce them outside of battleday. This makes me blame BI for its storied problems regarding disconnects and the same player trying to reconnect and not fulling getting in and recognized as a true player. What happens is the player is treated as a half player and half AI and many times attached to a null group.

Hopefully Operation Arrow head will be better in this regard.
