I used to see that all of the time when I was on dial-up. I've never seen it on DSL.

What I do still see is the map isn't updating all of the time, ie: bases under attack don't flash, even after 30 minutes at a base that is being pounded. That could be related to your problem.

I have noticed that it happens most often when there are 300 or more people in the arena.

in my case i've got a high speed DSL connection.

not sure what connection the gent in the mission (the one whos icon was stationary) had. i'll ask him next time i see him online.

thanks Nhawk

Happens to me(dial-up) often on bigger maps and when there's more than 500 in the MA. Sometimes its a dial-up user that appears stationary and sometimes it's not.
But if visual contact is made it goes away.
