Depending on your connection this "updating" takes any where from a minute or so to 4 - 5 minutes. This includes dar bar and everything.
Is this what might be happening to ya?
Nope, that's a different and very normal thing.
But when you log in and a base is already under attack it will not see it flash. You might even see enemy dots withing dar range. If the enemy is using GVs only (happens alot in EW) you don't get any indication at all that there is a attack running. This bug has nothing to do with the login updating process as such.
Only when all attackers have left the base, the flashing bug kinda resets, the next attacker to enter range will make it flash as usual.
Because of that bug, I developed the habit to check all frontline bases each time I log into low populated arenas like EW & MW to check if any towns are udner GV attack.
A similar thing is that a base often (everytime) continues to flash when a attacker disconnected while inside the trigger range.
