Just to check this bug, are you all still encountering these issues? @felker_s, @Tinogiggedy, @RogueZeroRendar?

I seem to have the most problem with Boba Fett's scan, but the other ones are less prominent for me.

 @DYSPROssium thanks for the tag. Absolutely yes. Boba Fetts is actually working more regularly for me so we're maybe up to it working 10-15% of the time from the almost never it used to be like. Unfortunately I have experienced enemies not appearing on radar with Reys insight but still at least enemies remain visible through walls. Scan dart never seems to work still. Bossk still has his thermal vision not work very regularly. The MTTS reveal ability also very rarely works. The few times I have used Finn I've also found his right trigger infiltration ability does not always reveal enemies on radar, to counter this however his dead eye bugged out so I could see where every enemy was anyway, just not on the radar.

    I just tested some things myself.

    HvV

    • I tried out Boba Fett's scan, and it is pretty broken. Sometimes the scan doesn't appear and doesn't reveal enemies. Sometimes the scan doesn't appear but enemies are scanned. Sometimes the opposite... 
    • Reys insight worked 100% of the time. No problem at all.

    Blast

    • I tried the scan dart of the assault and had no problems with it. The enemies were highlighted good and were revealed on the radar. This test wast performed with the extended duration star card.

    GA

    • The specialist's thermal binoculars are broken. They really work like 60% of the time. In one life, it sometimes did look through walls and 1 minute later it didn't look through walls. No wonder no one is using it.
    • The specialist infiltration ability is far more reliable and reveals everyone the whole time. I couldn't get it to not work, but I've had problems with it after the Grievous update, so I am still unsure about this one.
    • I tested the scan dart of the assault and it worked perfectly, even after usage in the same life for like 6 times in a very busy environment. It didn't fail once. This test was performed without any star cards affecting the ability.

    Still, need to test Lando's reveal and Bossk in GA. Will be back later with more results.

      Update on Bossk. I've tried him out twice in GA for a longer time to see if the bug occurs. I can tell that it has definitely been improved, but it's not 100% perfection. 

      Basically, night vision reveals a lot of enemies, but a few times, I've seen players that didn't get marked with the overlay (and thus be incredibly hard to see for Bossk). I've recorded some footages which make it very clear that it hasn't been completely solved.

      One match was pretty long and I used the ability many times, got a 54 killstreak lol. These are the more enjoyable kind of tests.

      I've been using the improved scan dart a lot lately, and I initially thought that it was working very well. But then I came to a CW map and nothing, no radar blibs, no marked enemies. I then thought that the bug is actually limited to CW maps, but that wasn't the case. The bug occures on a random basis. I would say 3 out of 10 matches. Sometimes it even looks like my own teammates are getting highlighted. This is on PS4.
