Map start vehicle deployment bug

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 2080Ti
Enter RAM memory size in GB 32
Are you using any software with an overlay? No
Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Multiplayer
Which part of the mode? Conquest
Please select your region North America
On which server did this happen?
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) Random
Summarize your bug Sometimes at the start of a match, when trying to select a vehicle I get a message saying "Deployment Unavailable". Then all vehicle categories get a 2:00 minute cool down. Then, even when the match starts and vehicles become available, I cannot select one in that category as it says I have a vehicle in play (the one originally selected but never received). I have gone an entire map without being able to use a category of vehicles due to this bug.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It's random. Just try to select a vehicle at the beginning of a map and it will occasionally happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? Selecting a vehicle at map start
What should be happening instead? I should either get the vehicle, or get bounced back out to deployment selection to try another vehicle if none are available.

Just had this happen again on Hourglass. Spent the entire map unable to select a vehicle from the Transport category as I supposedly had one in play.

  • I’ve seen this bug a couple of times as well. Not only at the start of a round but also when a new sector in BT opens up, the timer hits zero and new vehicles are available. It feels to me like someone else is also spamming the vehicle to deploy.

    It’s happened on most maps for me on breakthrough. 

    I’ve counted the vehicles after this happened and it still counts as a vehicle is taken so it’s quite detrimental to the team. Let’s say the team is given one tank, this bug leaves the team with no tank. 

  • I just had the same problem as you but the bug was also affecting my spawn in general, so I could not even spawn on my own squad mates... (2022-09-28).

  • I located the problem.

    I was trying to spawn as "Lis" - who I have unlocked previously. When I changed specialist, I could spawn. Before I could not spawn even if I restarted the game.


    EDIT: I noticed that Lis is not comfortable with recoilless m5 due to her normal abilities. Nevermind!
