The new item hint (yellow dot) doesn't go even when there's no new item at all

This problem happens a lot with weapon modifications (especially when one of your guns reach 20, 30 and 40 level, which unlocks a new camoflage), checking or equipping these new items doesn't make the yellow dot disappear, it usually requires a full game restart (after making sure that all the new items are checked) to fix.

Even with some trouble the problem can be fixed by players ourselves, however, recently this happened:

Apparently there is zero new item in this section (at least there's no yellow dot), but the tab on top says otherwise. I've clicked and selected every single item I have in this section and restart the game afterward, but it didn't fix the problem like before with those weapon modification and camoflage.

The time that this problem showed up should be the time that I unlocked the wing looking icon (sorry for not knowing the exact English name) selected in the picture, which is an unlockable in the season pass. Is this a universal problem or is it just a glitch with my game or account?

  • I have the exact same Bug. I unlocked a symbol, but it doesnt show. Restart does not work. I even cannot see what achievment it was.

    I dug a little bit, maybe it's the problem with the 511 challenges, one of them unlocks an icon that looks like a F117 (can't be found even when select showing locked items), however the challenges were identified as a bug and taken down just 3 hours after its launch. What if we have that icon unlocked but haven't checked it before EA took it away?🤕

    Same bug and good clue about the missing 511 challenge icon. I bet that is it!

    Hi all,

    I'm experiencing similar bugs... For example, the "New." icon on all Kord weapons doesn't disappear when I hover over it, and I have a yellow dot that remains on the Scorpion and the Glock even though I've checked everything...

    Same here with that 6P67. Also, if you unlock any weapon set like "warfighter" & "unstoppable force" after the mid-season update, the hint will be there too and can't be removed.

    My TR-7 and M44 have a permanent yellow dot even after restarting the game. All attachments etc. clicked of course.

  • Recently unlocked the M277 Carbine rifle, all the variants in there are showing "New" gone through all the attachments, camo, charms and stickers. Remains even after equipping the weapon

    Screenshot shows the weapon view of the M277. Showing that the "New" flag is still present even after viewing the weapon

     

  • Update:  

    Today my game crashed twice (first it just suddenly went back to the desktop, the second time even caused a BSOD), after a full reboot of my PC the game told me that my personal files are damaged and were automatically reset. True that all my personal settings like graphics and input were gone, but so were all these yellow dots. 🧐

    Update of the update:

    Anything unlocked after the crash still leaves a permanent yellow dot that can't be removed🙃

    Just unlocked the unstoppable force of my EVO3, the yellow dot said "I'm back and I ain't leavin'"

     

  • the majority of my weapons have new item hits and i have tabed through them all and the dots still don't go away
