Summarize your bug Previous to patch 6.2 it was standard to see my name in green (default squad color) on both the scoreboard and in vehicle seats. Since the patch, when looking at the scoreboard, I see my squad mates names in green, however my name is the same white color as the rest of the team. ISSUE: It is now difficult to find myself on the scoreboard as my name is no longer highlighted in green. Additionally, when I am in a full vehicle with all 4 squad mates, I see my 3 squad mates names as green on the vehicle seat list, however my name is always white. ISSUE: At a glance I see the white next to the seat and my brain tells me that it is an empty seat, however I am occupying that seat. This can be very confusing in the heat of battle, when it is not clear that the seat is already occupied by myself. Our group of around 10 players play daily. Of the 10 of us, 3 of us are experiencing this bug 100% of the time, the rest of our group have not experienced the bug at all, nor do they see the white names problem. From their end, the squad names and vehicle seat colors for those of us who are experiencing this bug are displaying properly in their chosen squad color designations as expected. Also while taking screen shots noticed that my player triangle in the mini map is also showing as white.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? As it appears to only affect certain game clients, I do no believe you could reproduce this at will.
What happens when the bug occurs? Player name is white instead of designated squad color (default green) on both scoreboard and vehicle seats.
What should be happening instead? Player name should be designated squad color (default green) on both scoreboard and vehicle seats.

  • @Moov_SystemiK I had that, had to go into the settings and put it back to the green I had before. It’s an odd little bug. You can set it back up under the HUD settings.
