Crypto Drone Bugs

After the update Crypto's drone is behaving strangely. | EA Forums - 13508954

I've encountered this a few times as well. It seems to be happening on platforms other than PS, too.

I agree i noticed this issue as well, it's really frustrating, i hope they fix this asap 

Villevejje​ Thanks for the report!

1. Drone going in third person randomly
   - I've seen this issue myself as well and had already forwarded the issue to EA/Respawn.
2. Delay when controlling the drone
   - This issue, (as mentioned by m_rikomeiko​), was also forwarded.
3. Not being able to use mobile respawn beacon in drone
   - This issue has been reported a few times, (such as here: 

   Crypto Drone Cannot Use Mobile Respawn Beacons | EA Forums), and was also forwarded

Furthermore, I've also had/seen the following issues involving Crypto which are reported/forwarded as well:

• Crypto's drone is hard to control when near an Axel tactical
• Crypto will call out nearby enemy teams while the banner cards would say 0, (or a number that does not match Crypto's call out)
• Crypto's drone may not be able to pick up teammate's banner cards in some cases requiring Crypto to either manually pick up the banner themselves, craft the banner cards, or to try again with the drone from a different angle
• When entering the drone, the player's view may glitch under the map for a brief moment
• When flying the drone, elements on the mini map, (such as the ring), will follow the drone around leading to the mini map becoming misleading
• When flying the drone too close to walls or objects, the drone can sometimes see through the wall or object
• Crypto can respawn his teammates at the same Respawn Beacon with his drone after the update that allowed Respawn Beacons to be used once per team, (this one however should already be fixed)
  
  

I do also find it a little funny that Crypto, (a hacker/coder), has a lot of bugs in their game code.

I know you’re already aware of this, so there’s no need to report it again, but—almost as if mocking me for filing bug reports—the situation has actually worsened; ever since a minor emergency update, the drone interface malfunctions every single time (whereas before, I hadn't encountered any interface bugs at all). Isn't it Crypto who actually needs fixing?

m_rikomeiko​ I'm having more issues with the drone as well, along with the banners not syncing the correct nearby squad count:

Come to think of it, I also encountered a bug where triggering an interface glitch would switch the minimap to the drone's perspective. I forgot to mention that.

That said, this never happened at all on my system prior to the mini-update. I’ve been playing, but aside from deploying or retracting the drone acting as a trigger, I really can't figure out the exact conditions that cause it. (It doesn't happen 100% of the time.)

Note: The behavior of the minimap when the bug occurs is not necessarily the same every time.

For some reason, the situation has improved slightly of late.

There are fewer instances of significant drone lag (so the drone appears in my field of view less often).

The drone UI persists on screen less frequently after switching back to Crypto.

The squad count display hasn't improved much; it still fails to render correctly for a few frames when switching back to Crypto.

There has been no improvement regarding the difficulty of controlling respawn beacons and the drone.

edit: The frequency of false positives has dropped, but a UI bug popped up the moment I said that. Since the issue hasn't been completely eliminated, this is seriously unacceptable.

The only issue I been having is the drone not being able to respawn teammates in the deployed drones I thought they removed it or something
