Question

Product: Battlefield 2042Platform:Sony Playstation 4Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 4Are you using any software with an overlay? NoWhich part of the game is the issue happening in? MultiplayerWhich part of the mode? ConquestPlease select your region North AmericaOn which server did this happen? any serverWhen did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) been happening the entire time ive been playingSummarize your bug when I use a scope that should have a high magnification, it will often bug and make the scope only zoom as if it was an iron sights.How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When I switch between anything in my loadout, usually my secondary it will do this, and so what i have realized and what I haven't seen anybody else mention, is that when I equip a bipod on my gun, it will do this, when I unequip a bipod the glitch never happens. so I am 99% sure that the glitch is caused only when having a bipod equipped.What happens when the bug occurs? when I use a 6.00x scope or 8.00x scope on my sniper the when I do the thing that I stated on how to make it occur, it will act like the scope is an iron sight or low magnification.What should be happening instead? the scope should be zoomed at a higher magnification.‌I don't have any footage, but I explained what happens and how it happens.

@chickenboi99999 This exact issue happens to me all of the time, I figured out you can reset it to proper magnification by scoping in with a different sight (say a holo) and then switching back to the high mag scope, but it takes too much time and is very annoying.

I am on PC, playing with Steam.

I've had the same problem, the "fix" is changing back and forth between scopes.Also the scopes zoom resets on throwing out the ammo cache or healing cache, which is dumb.

I have experienced this issue as well, although I have found that it can also happen on DMRs and with the 4x scope from my experience, and without a bipod (or indeed any attachments other then the scope). For me, I have noticed it seems to happen when I ADS with a primary with a scope (4x, 6x, 8x) directly after switching from a secondary or launcher that has iron sights or a low power scope on it.

As mentioned above, if I have the bug happen, I have found that switching to another sight in the plus menu, ADSing with that sight, then switching back over to the higher power scope generally fixes the problem, though only temporarily. I have had this happen multiple times with-in the same match, and even multiple times with-in the same life. I hope this gets fixed sooner rather then later.

I'm playing on PC btw.

@chickenboi99999 Been happening to me as well, a simply attachement change of anything on the gun was the simple fixe like the underbarrel ao it didnt take forever to load, but sure a large nuisance

Same here. This happens every single game. Been trying to work on snipers as they are my least favorite to use, and this has been such a headache. Yes, I can fix it by switching sights, but I cannot count how many times this bug has gotten me killed. Seriously hope this gets fixed soon.

Also, on PC and Steam.
