Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug has occurred only a few times now, so I am not sure about the precise steps to find the bug. However, yesterday I was messing around with the HUD settings, so this may have caused the bug. Upon joining GA, I have switched off HUD completely (no text, no point bar, no kill log, no objective markers) only the crosshairs. Then I played for a bit. After that, I switched everything back on, then the bug occurred.
What happens when the bug occurs? The objective marker in Galactic assault, showing the progression on a certain objective stays online after completion of the specific objective. The objective marker will stay visible at the top of the screen, making it impossible to see the other objective markers. Some HUD settings might have triggered this bug.
What do you expect to see? The objective marker to go away from the top of the screen ones the objective is finished and the game has moved to a different phase.
Please select your region Europe
AMD or Nvidia Model Number -
HUD setting that I have changed, after which the bug occurred. (will test this out again to see if there is a correlation)
- Switched off HUD elements, except for crosshairs (scopes)
- Switched off text and kill log and battle points
- Switched off objective markers
Then later in the match, I switched everything back and the bug occurred.
To show which objective marker I am talking about, here is a picture when the bug happened. You can see that the objective marker is at 100%, giving the information that the objective is completed (here: the landing pad is conquered). You can see that this picture is taking in phase 4 Kamino GA, while the objective marker should have disappeared after phase 2.
Some general facts about this bug
- Does not only happen on Kamino (I have had this before on Jakku, some time ago)
- Does not only happen at this specific phase or specific faction or with a specific unit
- Happens only in GA (for obvious reasons)
- There might be a way to stop the bug from being visible on screen by switching on and off the HUD settings. I have not tested this myself.
- If no action is taken, the objective marker stays online until the game ends, next game it is gone. (When you die, it will remain visible in the next life)
