Ranger won't enter Orbital D1 interior on 128 player Conquest

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PC
Please specify your platform model. PC
AMD or Nvidia Model Number 4090 RTX
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)
Summarize your bug Ranger does not know how to enter the interior of the D1 base on Orbital in 128 conquest mode. If you go inside, he will climb around on the roof trying to get as close as possible to you. Ordering him inside doesn't work either. He acts like he isn't aware of the entrances to get inside.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Call in a Ranger. Go inside D1 interior.
What happens when the bug occurs? Ranger will not follow you in and will not go inside even if ordered
What should be happening instead? It should act like any other location -- Ranger should follow you inside (unless he has other orders) and he should go inside if ordered to do so.

‌

This has been happening since the Orbital map rework was completed (prior to that, the D1 interior did not exist). I didn't report it previously because I thought it may be a known issue that would be addressed in a patch, but since the bug still is in the game, I figured I should officially report it.

    @EA_Leeuw I'm pretty sure I do. If not, I'll make one next time I'm there. I'll post it once I have it.

    Ok, this video demonstrates it:

    https://youtu.be/Yh7I74RWwPg

    My microphone mysteriously cuts out a couple of times, but I think it's still pretty clear. Please let me know if you need any additional information or clarification. I'm happy to provide anything needed.

    I made this video on a Portal server since otherwise I would be at the mercy of the random map selection to get onto a 128 player conquest round on that map. I couldn't make a solo all-out warfare server for it outside of Portal, because those are limited to 64-player conquest, and this base is only accessible on 128-player conquest.

    Incidentally, when I was making this video I first tried loading up a 64-player conquest server, to see if I could get over to that spot just for purposes of making this video. I could not, both because that base is out of bounds but also because it looks like the doors of the building are walls on the 64-player map. That is, on the 64-player version of the map, the doors into that interior are not traversable. That got me thinking -- I wonder if Ranger is using the 64-player version of the map when he is doing his pathfinding. If so, that would explain why he isn't able to figure out how to get inside of D1, since on the 64-player version it's closed off. Just figured I'd mention it.

    @mitcharfGood job with the video. I think this is probably intended? The two doorways into that bunker are incredibly small. Soldiers basically have to go single file in/out of them, so I don't think it's a good idea to allow the ranger into there. Otherwise someone could just order their ranger to sit there in the middle of the corridor or the doorways. Even inside the room itself is very small. Telling a ranger to puppy-guard that place would be very easy and quite annoying for attackers to breach.

    @Anarchiesx It's certainly possible that it's intended, but I'd be surprised if so. It's the only room on any map where this happens, even though there are others with doors of a similar size. Plus, you could still park the ranger just in front of either door, if your goal was to have him guard them. This really just stops the ranger from being able to fight inside the room itself.

    I'll also note that as much as I adore Rangey, he isn't so formidable that I think they'd restrict him from the room on that basis. 🙂

    @mitcharf, cheers for the video, nice one.

    It could indeed be that it is intended. But I get you, it would be nice if the Ranger would come inside with you to go through the tunnel.

    Will make sure to pass it on as feedback. 🙂

    Just wanted to update that this problem still exists after the 5.0 patch.

    Also, there is further evidence that this is not intentional, because Ranger is able to enter a similarly enclosed room on the new Reclaimed map.

    I've retested with the 5.2 patch and this bug still occurs.

    I've retested after the 6.0 patch and this bug still occurs.
