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've tested the Binoculars on Geonosis GA and they did not work consistently (02-03-2019, 15:30 EST).
Sometimes they would highlight enemies, sometimes they won't. Even when they are clearly in my direct sight they don't show up, and it doesn't only affect enemy officers.
Makes me wonder if that sentence in the patch notes actually mends this bug...
Hello there!
So in one of the updates, they announced to have fixed all instances with reveal abilities, including the ones named here.
I am a bit late, I know, but I still wanted to try them out before calling it a victory.
So I tried the 2 that were the easiest, the night-vision gun attachments and the scout binoculars.
SCOUT BINOCULARS
I've tried a complete Geonosis match to get it not-working, but it always showed all the players. Very nice!
What I also saw is that if you mark someone and you die and be specialist again in the next life, the cooldown of the binoculars isn't reset. Weird.
Seems to be completely fixed this one! :eahigh_file:
NIGHT VISION ATTACHMENTS (only tried CR-2 on Geonosis 28-05-19)
I am sad to inform that this is not working, getting mixed results. There are times that everything is properly revealed, but quite often I see players highlighted and non-highlighted at the same distance in one view.
Image below shows what I mean. Here 1 trooper is clearly high lighted, but there is another enemy right left to him that isn't high lighted. That player walked before the highlighted one just before I captured this, so it is really weird.
This one is harder because someone shot a laser just when I took the picture, but behind the laser you can see an enemy that is not high lighted.
Can you pass this along, @EA_Ataashi ?
The issue was never fully fixed (I still had issues with Infiltration) but after the latest patch it's happening more frequently again, like if the "fix" was reverted or something. Video of both Infiltration and Scan dart glitching and failing to show enemies:
EA Staff (Retired)Well, they never fixed these, and guess what? Now Rey's Insight also suffers from this. You did it DICE, instead of fixing a major BUG that affects a multitude of classes and abilities for almost 20 months (1 year and 8 months), you just allowed it to continue disturbing games, and now even overflow to new and old abilities alike. Both the BX Droid Commando and the Arc Trooper are affected by this BUG with their revealing abilities.
And now even Rey's Insight, one of the only revealing abilities which weren't affected by this is now affected. I'll have a video for this soon as it's a video I'll upload anyway.
You can't do things right, you keep doing mistake after mistake after mistake. You can't take the programming aspect of this game seriously. The pile of BUGs is overwhelming, and after the terrible launch it's what cripples this game the most.
Yes, now this happens with Rey in every HvV match. Instead of fixing this BUG, DICE has made it worse
This MUST get pinned. A Day 1 BUG, affects countless different Weapons/Abilities, messes with overlays (heat vision, night vision, boba's scan), with outlines (scan dart, rey's insight), and with dots showing in the radar (infiltration, motion scan).
This has never been fixed, not even improved despite Patch Notes stating otherwise. It has been applied to new abilities (Infiltrator's revealing abilities) and to old ones that were immune to the BUG previously (Rey's Insight).
Bossk is definetly the one who suffers the most with that because not only his Predatory Instincts is completely unreliable as it may show some enemies but not others, but it also makes the environment so hard to see, that an enemy which isn't shown because of the BUG will blend in with the environment and may kill you from a few feet away, something that would never happen if your heat vision wasn't being used at that time. It's infuriating when a trooper kills you as Bossk right in front of you, but because you relied on a vision ehancing ability you couldn't see him because he was as BLUE as the environment around him.
Seriously, can't we get a true focus on this BUG for September's update? After DICE made this game a tremendous BUGfest with the Chosen One Update, surprisingly the Disabled Block BUG, the most notorious BUG at that time, got fixed in no time. A BUG which had been in the game since launch, and which I've been trying to help solve for more then a year. This shows how they can manage BUGs if they get prioritized.
So please DICE, fix this day 1 game breaking BUG, which affects SOOOOOO many abilities and aspects at once. This is definetly the worst and most problematic BUG in this game since release. It has never lost that spot.
Maybe Santa has stopped by DICE? Or will it be Fake News again?
It's not the first time things were stated fixed or improved, and in the past all of these failed. Let us hope they get it right this time.
Fake news. Binos are beyond broken cant see anything.
