I just tested some things myself.
HvV
Blast
GA
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.
It´s sad! Same problem with me...😢
Plz EA do something!
Thanks for the tag, but is there any visual effect to show that people have tagged me here? In the main forum we have the notifications icon, but what about here in Answers HQ? That's why this totally skipped my attention.
Well, before yesterday's Dooku's Patch, I was still experiencing this with the Specialist's Infiltration ability and with Boba's Scan, but I can't say about the others as I rarely touhed them. Rey's Insight never ever failed, it was never a part of this BUG AFAIK, as I've been using her regularly since launch and I've never experienced this at all.
Now, after January's 23rd Patch Update, I tested Boba Fett and he is still with this BUG (didn't test any others though). In Boba's case we have the enemies not showing in radar BUG (just like with the Specialist's Infiltration), but also the yellow-orange outline not being properly applied at all (and seemingly independent of the enemies not showing in radar BUG).
I've tested both the binoculars and the night vision attachments today and they are both still not working 100%.
The attachments
I've tested this with the night vision attachments of the CR weapon and although it seems to work better, I still can get enemies in my range in direct sight that aren't marked.
The binoculars
It sometimes just doesn't work and sometimes works. In the video below, you can see this. I try to look through the mountain on Hoth and it doesn't work. Then just before the video ends, you can see that I was able to look through the hill and see enemies. Thus still very inconsistent.
I've tried to better determine when it doesn't work and it seems to happen if you do something like the steps below. Keep in mind that I am not 100% sure of it.
Hey, sorry - as it has been mentioned before me, the tag is not visible anywhere (except emails, which I rarely check...), so I didn't notice your question.
It doesn't seem like that any fix or improvement was made. I could write a list, from "rarely ever bugged" to "100% useless":
Lando's blaster > Bossk's vision > Boba's reveal (map) > Boba's reveal ("wallhack") & Binoculars > Scan Dart.
I've played a lot as Lando, and it was extremely rare to see his blaster bugged. Same for Bossk, but it happened a lot more, and it's also more problematic, since you tend to activate that ability to get out of a sticky situation - blindness does not help with that. With Boba's reveal, it seems like that the minimap markers are more reliable than the actual wallhack-like reveal, the latter rarely ever works for me.
Couldn't really decide where to put the binos: I don't really use them, but I've noticed them to be bugged quite a lot of times out of those occasions.
And then there is the Scan Dart: that's just 100% bugged, at this point I would just simply remove it from the game and replace it with something else.
It also happened to me with the Specialist Infiltration not showing enemies on radar and with Lando's scope not applying the night vision overlay on enemy units after January's Hotfix Patch
Hello everyone! It seems that this bug has some update since the patch notes for tomorrows update (27-02-2019) included:
> Fixed a visual issue where target outlines would occasionally not show correctly when using the Thermal Binoculars as an Officer.
This is promising since it is one of the first times actually naming this bug, but the way that it is written is kind of weird. How could the Thermal Binoculars be equipped on an Officer?
Anyways, if you use any of the abilities described in this thread and see any improvement or notice the bug is still there, please comment to this thread!
Thanks,
I hope so! I played with assault 2 days ago and the scan dart didn't work. Then after dying because of that I got the specialist and then Infiltration didnt show any enemies.
