Squad orders not working correctly

Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform:PlayStation 5
Please specify your platform model. Sony PlayStation 5
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 Squad orders aren't working as intended and no longer appear on the left side of the screen when giving attack/defend orders. The green symbol DOES appear over objectives when you give the order though. Another effect this bug causes is that squad leaders no longer get an inactive timer while squad leader. This leads to permanent squad leaders even if they are inactive.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have 2+ players load into any match and have the squad leader set an attack/defend order on an objective. Separately, have someone who is not squad leader set a ping on an objective (the one green line instead of four) and then have the squad leader do nothing. Squad leader will not be switched for inactivity after some amount of time.
What happens when the bug occurs? Squad orders are not shown on the left side of the screen and squad leaders are permanent unless they leave the squad.
What should be happening instead? Squad orders should be shown on the left side of the screen. Squad leaders should be removed for inactivity if no orders have been placed after a certain amount of time.

Feel like these 2 issues are related as they both deal with squad orders.

  • I do have 2 screenshots and a video of what should be happening, if needed. I have been trying to make this post for a few days and the post wouldn't submit when attaching them.

    I'd be interested in seeing the screenshots.  Bumping this thread for great justice.  Please get this over to the devs for the next update.

    Actually, an update is pulling down now in the EA app.  Let's hope it's been addressed.

    So, the new update may have fixed the squad issues. I joined into a Conquest 64 server and I was the squad leader.

    I noticed other squad mates asking for orders and saw the objectives on the left side of the HUD.

    I didn't let them takeover my Squad Leader role, so I'm not sure if that's fixed, but it seems promising.

    Its actually been fixed for a few days now. It had been broken since the uh-60 update and I guess it was something easy enough to fix without having a game update. Was a very annoying bug though, so glad it's fixed!
