Summarize your bug Originally posted about this in the General Discussion forum here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Unable-to-See-Spotted-Enemies-by-Fallen-Squad-Members/m-p/13174952#M185580 A few times now, when playing with a regular squad member, that person would ping / mark enemies nearby when he was fallen and waiting for a revive to help me locate the nearby threat(s). I can hear the spotting "beeps" but I wasn't seeing any red indicator on the screen to locate who he was pinging / marking. We are both on PC, but it seems this affects console players as well.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a fallen squad member ping an enemy thread that is near them to alert their nearby squad members of a threat.
What happens when the bug occurs? A red thread marker should appear on the squad members screen that are still alive and nearby, but it doesn't. Instead you just hear the audio cue that a ping is being made.
What should be happening instead? A red thread marker should appear on the squad members screen that are still alive and nearby.

  • Does anyone from DICE really look at all of this to solve the problems?

  • No. This is the most annoying bug in the [Removed] game right now.I bet it's a 2 week sprint to fix at most but since the devs don't know what a sprint is or how to code, this will never get fixed. Been a bug since the game launched.
