I am just wondering what happened.
Some matches spotting is actually broken complete. Just will not spot anything.
It worked fine for a long time. But it stopped working properly and just lately it barely functions at all.
I can point at one vehicle or person. Sometimes it will put a red contact tag in the sky. It is bizarre. Mostly it seems to not work at all as far as I can tell.
Hi HiredRanger,
BigBoy here. I've reported the same issue you're experiencing under the Bug Reports section titled "Ping/Area Marker Issues." Hopefully, the developers can investigate it soon, as it definitely affects gameplay when trying to mark locations accurately.
If anyone else is experiencing this issue, please add your feedback to the bug report as well. The more reports and information the developers receive, the easier it will be for them to identify the cause and understand how widespread the problem is.
Having trouble spotting anything while in a vehicle since the last update.
Hi HappyOz99,
BigBoy here. Yes, I’m experiencing the same issue too. Sometimes the ping doesn’t register at all, or the marker appears way off from the location I was trying to mark.
I’ve noticed it seems to happen especially when you’re in a vehicle, where marking areas can become very unreliable. Hopefully this can be looked into by the developers.
I'm not entirely sure, but I think they modified how close you have to be to the target to actually spot it, you now have to be pretty spot on for it to work. Albeit that only seems to be the case for non-recons, playing recon it feels unchanged.
Hi AlphiB,
BigBoy here. I play all the classes, from Assault to Recon, and I'm experiencing the same issue. For me, the ping either doesn't work at all or it's completely off target from the location I'm trying to mark. It was never like this before, so I'm really hoping the developers can identify the cause and get it fixed soon.
Everything seems broken in this game. NOT surprised though, its EA. They ruin EVERYTHING they touch.
Wait, just to be clear: you’re talking about the spot diamond above the head or the ping you can leave for team mates?
