I keep losing my friend/foe markers, and no target brackets display .. seems I lose all my targetting HUD components sometimes (entire match, never there and never show up, hiding and showing the HUD with rshift-F11 doesn't help)..

Anyone else seen this? I've had it happen twice already today, but it's pretty uncommon and only lasts for that match.. everything is fine the next match I get into. What's causing the occasional breaking of my HUD?

Off and on. Does make things more...interesting.

Yes about an hour ago. R would not target anything either and still had the floating ghost targeted mech bracket. I hit esc twice to interrupt and go back and it did stop.

Been seeing the R thing, as well.

Yeah, they messed up the UI/HUD target stuff when they put in the new team loading screens and end game screens. Triangles floating all over, target brackets not where they are supposed to be.. and, apparently, that's tied to the missing friend/foe thing as I've never seen it before that Feb. 5th patch. Ever.

I just don't know how new start and end screens are related to the target system, or how someone broke something like that that was working perfectly well before that.

It felt like a dead cockpit when it happened. I think the code has been squirrelly for a couple days now. Major lag with some Euro (?) players about 12 hrs ago. I killed a RVN-3L with a lead that was ridiculous on Alpine, kept leading farther and farther. Two floating brackets once. And a lot of stuttering.

Glad I'm not running for the leader board thing or frustration would kill me.

I know your pain.. I started, but was 4 hours behind or so.. and it seems like most people on the top ranks are doing 2 things.. running 20+ hours a day (and i'm to old for that ****.. lol) and possibly working sync drops with buddies. I saw some chat in group on one match telling someone to join a different channel because "those other guys are in a different game". So, that might explain the 70+ wins to 20 or so losses I'm seeing.. because the ELO and pugging still has me dropping with people that spent MC on rigs and -clearly- have no idea how to play the game or even use their weapons. ... Oh well.. I'll just see where I flesh out with my 'normal' playing style (posting on boards, building new mechs, etc etc).

EDIT: on the up side.. my splatcat now has me over 1.0 for K/D ratio

That was the first thought I had when I checked the rules. Very game-able setup. Sync by chat or even phone.

I did notice the New pilot thing too. One was an Atlas two of us were taking down and we realized it late and took damage from a Jenner that we should have killed first. We got them but LRMs started flying by then.

*Stats are not real high. I really suc ed starting and I didn't care. I played mission after mission in fail mode for "immersion" training lol. I just got ticked and wouldn't stop. Progress is being made.
