Sir Steiger (a teammate - not in my lance) was not shown as friendly - was persistent - I have a screen shot if you can point me to a place to deliver it.

A couple weeks ago I shot several times a friendly Highlander until I realized he wasn't returning fire.... so it happens with assaults too. Another time someone without a triangle appeared and I thought it was the bug but it wasn't, and well a trusting motionless commando doesn't last long :)

I'm getting this every once in a while, occasionally the friendly radar markers will eventually show up sometime in the match, but usually it is off for the whole time.

First time I saw this we were under enemy ECM and I legged our ember in one shot before I realized Oops.

Now I roll with it. It makes me look at what mechs we have and yes I can remember what mechs we have or hit "Q" to see.

When ECM first came out no one had a triangle tag in the ECM field, and many people were receiving friendly fire. That was changed. So I am seeing this bug like that.

I have even seen this on the test server Friday with two of my teammates in one match.

note: i do not think ECM is causing this, but it looks similar to what I saw when ECM came out in late 2012.

i noticed it once that a teammate was only on radar when he was in my sight. if not in sight he dissappeared from radar. ??? and i lately got the problem that teammates are not marked as such.

Dude, I have this problem like every three matches.

It is almost always a lance mate, and they almost always are units that carry ECM. Nearly TKed a Raven the first time it happened.

They also refuse to appear on radar. Sometimes it fixes itself and I can see them correctly. Sometimes they never appear, and I have to double and triple check my fire.

Happened to me. Nearly killed my teammate.

He wasn't happy and reported me for team killing, needless to say I got a warning and I'm a bit scared now.

You got a WARNING for a bug that Piranha screwed up on?

Just another ignored (by pgi) voice in the crowed, but I get this maybe 1 in 20 matches and I typically fire on sight but luckily no one has reported me. I get the one where they are only on radar if I have a visual about 1 in 5 matches.

Seeing this every three or four games on teammates, not so much just my mech. Did become an issue for me on HPG a couple of days ago whilst piloting a Kitfox when a friendly DWF cut me in half with an alpha before everyone told him to stop shooting me.

You would think PGI would offer amnesty while they actively worked on this bug.

Then again, neither is happening at the moment.

Yeah that's rather sad, though it also sounds like he sort of just took the hit instead of trying to fight back against it.

I will point out, praying PGI actually notices the thread, that I have played on multiple different machine's and this only happens on ONE of the machines even though I'm using identical file installs on both of my tests (copy and pasted from the same thumbdrive install). Furthermore I went and tried it on a variety of machines, and this is the only one I had problems with. I suspect it is a graphics card related issue here, since it is an unsupported card.

Happened to me twice yesterday. Once with a friendly Catapult, and the other with a Jenner.

Just chipping in to confirm this one. I too get this. The last time I took the leg off a friendly jenner....not cool. This one can be a match breaker.
