Squad-mate Downed HUD Indicators Missing After Season 1 Patch

Game: Battlefield 6
Platform(s): PC
Build/Version: Post Season 1 Patch

Description:
When playing in a squad with a friend, the visual HUD indicators for downed squad-mates do not appear consistently. When a squad-mate is downed, their revive icon and color highlight fail to show on the screen. This makes it difficult to locate and revive them during active combat. The only reliable way to find the downed squad-mate is by looking at the mini-map, which disrupts gameplay flow and slows down revives.

Steps to Reproduce:

Form a squad with at least one friend.
Begin a match.
Once in combat, have one squad member get downed.
Observe the HUD.

Expected Result:
A clear revive icon and color indicator should appear above the downed squad-mate, making it easy to locate them in the environment.

Actual Result:
HUD icons and color indicators do not appear above the downed squad-mate. They can only be located via the mini-map.

Frequency:
Intermittent, but occurs often since the Season 1 patch. And never before the patch.

Impact:
This issue reduces team coordination and slows squad revive gameplay, potentially affecting match outcomes.

Additional Notes:

* Both players have confirmed the issue occurs on their client separately.

    ive also noticed i often cant see the downed icon at all for my squad mates, seems to be random, sometimes i see it, sometimes i dont, sometimes it shows up as i get closer to them (5m-1m), sometimes i see a green highlight on their body, somtimes i dont, sometimes the downed icon doesnt show up at all no matter how close i get & we have to guide each other to our bodies (my squad are all on PC) this has never been an issue on any previous battlefield


    started happening for me about 3-4 weeks ago was kind of ok before that, i say "kind of" because i did notice a few weeks before this current issue that i could no longer see how much time a downed teammate had left which is equally as frustrating, & sometimes i can see it but other times it just shows their class icon... wtf why would i care what class they are, i do however want to know how much time someone has left so i can make a sensible decision on whether or not i should risk my butt to save them

    game is so broken atm its made medic class almost not worth playing, & i assume the same is happening for blueberries but no real way of knowing as there is no proximity chat, medics getting raged on hard atm for not reviving, chances are they cant see you 🤬
