    @AuMordumthe only fix at the moment is to open and close the screen persistently.

    Several of us have submitted this as bugs and i included video.

    Summarize your bug The respawn timer for jet after it is destroyed on the vehicle spawn window is not displayed properly.
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Die in the jet and try to get the jet again.
    What happens when the bug occurs? When jets are an option in the game.
    What should be happening instead? The respawn time should be live updating of jet and the icon to click on should not be greyed out when it's available.

    ‌

    Since latest patch the Jet stays greyed out even when available. What happens is that you do not know if the jet has respawned unless you go out of the vehicle respawn window and come back in. It makes it hard to obtain the jet again.   Also, the respawn timer is not updating properly when within the vehicle spawn window. This may or may not occur in other vehicles. This has to be a bug.

    I have the same problem, I tried clearing the cash folder, repairing the game, and reverting every setting to default. But nothing is resolved.

    Hi all,

    Thanks for passing this on to us.

    The teams are aware of this issue and are investigating.

    A workaround would be to go out of the vehicle selection screen and back in, this will update the timer.

    Hi, thanks, for the answer. I hope that you find the solution... the time we spent with this solution, makes we loose the vehicle...

    Same problem with vehicle countdowns after class system patch. Last vehicle used countdown only updates if I close the vehicle menu. Close vehicle selection with 45 seconds of cooldown, wait 10, come back and it will show frozen at 35, etc. Other vehicles continue to count down correctly it has only been the last one used, which tends to be the one you want.
