Odd beacon bug

Unfortunately I've not been able to take a screenshot of this bug yet, but I trust you will believe me like this x_X
Dunno if any1 else has had it yet, and I'm pretty sure no1 has posted this on the forum yet, but once I reconnect from a server, sometimes I get back in only to see that every1 has lost his beacons O_o
Then when I reconnect again, the beacons are back..otherwise I'll just go on playing and I'll see only the models
Is this a db bug?
Am I the only one having this?
Can any1 help me if this is because something I've done wrong (with my settings..not some punishment from above or even davidm or something -.- I don't believe in davidm

)?
Hope some1 can help x_X I'll try posting a screenshot the next time I get the bug.

i've had this bug many times, in matches as well. Once that player dies it's back to normal, but its terribly annoying.

?O_o
I'm talking about me reconnecting, and then seeing everyone without beacons.
I don't mean the bug where someone dies and he leaves his radar thingy behind..and then he is shown without a beacon, and his dot-thingy on the vicinity radar will be following him with weird jumps...no I don't mean that one
My bug is leet0r >_< No1 has any beacons then, and they'll all be back when I reconnect.

This happens allot to me. Even if I don't reconnect some beacons still disappear. Not everyone just some or one of them.
I don't find it much of a problem really as I can still use the side and middle radar to tell whos who. Dunno if it is just a DeathBall bug as I havn't played any other part of ut2k3 for years now. But, it is annoying though.......

off topic but i dont feel like making new post
bind something to dissconnect|reconnect and when you reconnect you still have all your stats \\o

U will have all your stats whether you use disconnect first or not.
Your stats are cached by the server for every game since deathball 1.9
The only advantage disconnect|reconnect gives u is that you want have problems reconnecting to a full server (otherwise ut2k3 will start a new connection ON TOP of your old one first, and then attempt breaking off the older one, but it is halted because the server will be full)
Another tip concerning that bind, is adding bug in front of that, and maybe a message, so for example:
F=Bug|say Look over there!|disconnect|reconnect

Hm, took a screenie yesterday, as you can see the players have no beacons, and I didn't remove them myself
They were back after reconnecting
