[GAME BUG] Cannot see C4 obj disarm from distance


(tameJeans) #1

This seems to happen randomly, and it took me a while to figure it out. If you have C4 planted, and the enemy is disarming, you should see the blue disarm progress bar on the screen if you look at the C4. Since the latest update (R54964 USA_EU), this progress bar sometimes shows and sometimes doesn’t.

I have confirmed this behavior a couple of times, I’m not sure the issue is specific to the map, or just my client.

It’s not a bug. It is working as intended. If a teammate is looking at said objective, the progress bar shows up. If not it will not show up

This is a change in behavior in this update. Previously if I look at the obj from far away on any part of the map, I see the disarm notification. This no longer happens. This change is not in the release notes (http://steamcommunity.com/games/333930/announcements/detail/990033542758995192), and therefore I am reporting it as an unintended change (a bug).

Sometimes this works correctly on maps, I can see the disarm progress on the obj from any distance, sometimes it doesn’t work.

This bug happens consistently on an objective or stopwatch map for the attacking team, it appears to only happen on the Terminal map. The UI behavior on other maps is working correctly.

Apparently these patch notes aren’t shown on Steam.

So to clarfiy, now it only works when you have direct line of sight on the C4, Terminal for example has plants inside a container that you can’t see from a distance.

It only works when you or other teammates are directly looking at it. So, no it’s not a bug
