    This is the second time this has happened to me. An admin told me to report this so I am. it was on the COOP USA server. I suffered a huge lag spike, thinking I'm about to blue screen for the 4th time today and I took a screenshot. Note the fine details in the bottom right, indicating that i'm about to wirelessly disconnect from my wireless router or something. I'm sitting at a 50-60% signal strength connection to my router at all times with my antique wireless ZEW2500p USB device with a VISTA driver on win 7 64-bit. Attached is the modified screenshot. I'm in Seattle, FYI.

    In the screen my launcher has 100+ ammo and I'm raising an incap under the car. I had blown up some cars with my launcher (just to be cool) and the old man's bazooka sent some car 100 feet in the air and it landed on someone. I was raising him, but then someone else did. (I lagged and let go?) Then the lag hit me and these zombies spawn-taneously showed up. But i didn't blue screen my way out of the game this time. I came BACK! Note that I have a molotov and windows is telling me i have a connection problem and the netmeter shows that my downloading has stopped. You can't ask for a more informative screen shot.

    I blew up about 3 more cars with my launcher, just to be lame, and got downed a few times and then finished the map as an incap. Next map.

    I'm on my feet, some guy heals me with a med kit and i'm able to throw my moli inexhaustibly, which is a glitch that extended into the finale. The only way to stop this was to pick up another throwable. I threw a pipe and went back to my moli and once thrown, the throwable grenade slot became empty. The end.

    I have a very high rez fraps video of me throwing 3 consecutive molis. and here are 3 screens of that. I am not buying molotovs.

    Hello,

    Thanks for the report. We have a bug tracker and it would be good to use it for something like this, but there is a problem.

    This has happened to me once before, and to ilenia too. But we don't have the lag spikes either, and since it only randomly happened once to the both of us, we couldn't target the source of this glitch.

    The molotov just magically reappears in your hand after throwing it, like the !buy menu blessed you with heavenly throwables that never deplete. It seems to be a very rare occasion and I don't think it really disrupts game play... you have people who throw dozens of molotovs in one round with bounty.

    On a side note, don't incap others when destroying cars. It's team-killing and you can get banned for it.
