Summarize your bug I have noticed since the latest season patch, that spawning on squad mates, spawn beacons, or friendly vehicles does not work if over a captured objective. The game seems to spawn me on the objective instead of the squadmate/beacon/vehicle that I've selected. For instance, I had a beacon down on C1 of Kaleidoscope. Each time I attempted to spawn on the beacon, I would spawn outside across the street from the objective. Similar behavior with spawning on vehicles at the beginning of the round. If it's over the main spawn icon, I would spawn there instead of in the vehicle.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Attempt to spawn on a vehicle, squad mate, or spawn beacon that is on top of a captured objective.
What happens when the bug occurs? You spawn on the objective spawn, not in the vehicle, with a squadmate, or on the beacon.
What should be happening instead? You should spawn on the selected spawn item - squadmate, vehicle, or beacon.

Since the 7.0 patch, I have not been able to spawn on vehicles, squadmates, or spawn beacons if they overlap with captured or main spawn objectives.

For instance, a friendly MAV moving through our main spawn - if I click on it while it's rolling over the main spawn objective, I will spawn on the objective not in the MAV. Same behavior with other captured flags with squadmates, beacons, and vehicles.

    @G3neral_Tso yes indeed , sometimes this happens.
    I also replied in a "similair" topic about spawn at teammates ect ect that goes wrong !

    Cheers
  • Still having this problem myself. Only partial fix I've found is that when I want to spawn on a squadmate, I can click their name in the corner of the spawn screen instead of clicking on their character icon as it moves around the map. But that only works when I have squadmates that actually ptfo and not hide in spawn, and only when they can get out of combat long enough for me to spawn on them.

    Since it might be relevant, playing keyboard and mouse on PC, and can confirm it's also an issue in Breakthrough game mode.

  • This started several months ago.  How is it they have not fixed this issue as of yet.  It has to be the most annoying bug when you have a team mate on a flag you own getting attacked and you spawn on your team mate and you end up 200 meters off the flag.

    @TheMadGiffer That this post and bug hasn't been acknowledged by any DICE developer or EA staff, or gained much traction (until the last few days) says it isn't a major issue for most players. I find this bug one more frustrating thing in a game FULL of frustrating bugs, decisions, and features.
