    Hey @EA_Leeuw ,

    I tried to attach a video file of my issue, unfortunately .mp4 format is not allowed and i have no more time left in my lunch break to download something to convert it to a .rar.

    I have to admit one thing - while testing / recording this, I noticed the issue was, as ever so often, between the screen and the chair.. (kind of)

    The issue occurs when holding down the B-key the entire time while selecting a vehicle (then, selection of a drop point instantly disappears). Now, if you hold the B-key to open the menu, then release the B-key, and then do the selection of a vehicle and a drop point, everything works as expected. This is also the reason why it was working with the Q-menu (one actually has to release the Q-key to confirm the selection and open the vehicle call-in menu). @creageaeon You might want to try this as well, maybe we are talking about the same "issue", maybe about something different.

    Anyways, I have to say, this is not the behaviour that I expected - after all, I assumed that it was bugged out for almost two weeks.

    Maybe you want to look into this anyways, since the current implementation might be a bit misleading / unintuitive - it would be great to have it in future so it works as well while holding down the B-key continously while selecting a vehicle and a drop point.

    Thanks a lot for taking the time to reply, and sorry for wasting some time here by reporting a bug thats not really a bug - rather a misunderstanding of the functionality / controls on my side!

@EA_Leeuw The comma rise menu pop's up briefly and closes. Happens in all games modes at random times since the last patch. PS4 video playing portal https://youtu.be/fK9SJ6LzAdw I didn't realize that holding L1 & R1 brings up the "call in menu". I assumed holding R1 or Q on PC then selecting "call in" was the correct method.

I'll get video on the PC also this week.

@creageaeon, alright so this can be two things:
One: the call-in menu has been disabled for this specific Portal mode (which is very much possible)
Two: the call-in menu is bugged

When you go into the solo/co-op AoW mode or any other non-Portal AoW mode, does is then also not work for you?

    @EA_Leeuw there is a bug in the call-in menu.
    if you call-in a vehilce you get the positive response that the vehilce will drop but it wont drop ☹️ from then it is impossible to call-in the same vehicle again! you only see the call-in menu message that you need to destroy the current vehicle before calling a new one. but it never drops and there is nothing to destroy then...
    this bug happends for me many times....really annoying when it happens in early begin of the round and im unable to use a specific vehicle for the hole round
