Minimap displaying incorrect scenario objective locations? (bomb marker)

Post#1 » Tue Aug 25, 2020 2:08 am

As of late when I'm in a scenario the Objective marker (the tiny bomb marker) is sometimes incorrectly displayed on the minimap. I'll head to where it's displayed on the minimap and there is either no one there or no one carrying the objective. I've also seen scenarios where the objective spawns at base camp as if a player carrying it died and respawned. There are instances as well where the objective marker fails to move properly on the minimap and in fact is at a completely differently location but it hasn't updated. It's very inconsistent and very frustrating when trying to work with the team to get the objective done.

I do not know if that is a bug with me or with the game itself. I have VinylUI installed but hadn't have this issue occur until recently. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a workaround or maybe another addon I can use temporarily to address this?

lol over a hundred views, I guess no one is having this issue. Hmm then I wonder if it's my side. Like addons or cache or something. I'll have to take a look.

It's visual bug.
good you have ability to check minimap.
a lot of players don't have it or don't care.
expand that awareness little bit and confusion will be reduced greatly.
like opening map immediately when game announce objective being taken.
if it shows weird place, it's bug.
go to objective spawn location you'll find light pillar moving ( if you're fast enough )

Okay so it does bug out in both the Minimap and Map. I use it often to intercept a bomb carrier or what not. For example lets say I died and I'm currently on respawn Timer, when I go back to camp I'll head to intercept the bomb or something. However, since it's a visual bug as you have confirmed it's hard to do sometimes. I do know about the pillars but it's not always applicable in cases like I mentioned, you are waiting to respawn or what not. In these sort of situations I rely on the Minimap and Map. I wonder if this visual bug has been ticketed?

Ah ha! Apparently it has been ticketed but they haven't gotten around to it yet.

there were several fixes. but it still lingers.
until next fix pay attention to in-game announce and practice guess game.
it's obvious where that objective running. 2 or 3 spots.
