I've *never* seen that issue when I've been on. Rounds typically last about an hour. Whatever, I don't have time to fix it.
It happens quite often, no one even bothers to build, and when rounds last an hour, that's only because there's a few people actively building defenses and protecting the flag. When less people are on, the rounds last minutes as everyone just gangs up on the weakest team to see who can get the most flag caps faster.
