Hello there,somehow rockets and other stuff thats mid-air will vanish as soon as you go down, even if it might hit the target and even if you might get revived.While I understand that there is a need for quick object decay with 128 players and a lot of objects on the field, this destroy the immersion alot.There should be atleast some grace period like some seconds...

@SixSpeedDeath If you're on Xbox, you should be able to just add a link from the Xbox app (or from a site like gameclips.io). Either that or you can upload to YouTube and use that link.

@SixSpeedDeath same here, all stuff seem to disappear when death or even in revive state...(see https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Too-quick-quot-object-destruction-quot-Rockets-vanish-as-soon-as/m-p/12012858)

Hi @SixSpeedDeath,

Missiles and Throwables should still work after you been downed and not de-spawn. Do you have any video examples?

Would help a lot if you have network graph active.

Trying to attch the video, but it doesn't allow .mp4 files, and when I add to a .zip, it says that it's unsupported (but the error for mp4 being unsupported lists .zip as supported? So bug-ception)

There is a Irish turret there that should eat it. @SixSpeedDeath

We are going to need more clear examples.
