I know there is a bug about this out there but didn't know if others have recently been expierencing it again. Twice today, my target ridicule never shows up. Also my Friend or Foe Identifiers (The arrows) are missing as well. It makes it hard because I have to watch whom I shoot and where my team is at. Also lock ons are nearly impossible because you cannot follow the target since it doesn't show up on screen (LRMs). Is there a work around for this or do I just fire and hope I don't kill a teammate?

Does this happen in every game? I have heard others complain about his problem before, but it seemed like it wasn't the norm for them.

Also, I think you mean "reticule." Ridicule is what you do to people who overheat in the middle of battle.

I would love a feature or soundpack that ridicules my targets based on their mech choice, action, location, or fit.

"An atlas, capping, hoho what a nubcake!" said by some voice actor.

In fact a soundpack of the clan guy from the original mechwarrior animation would be hilarous.

I've had it a lot since the last patch, had never had it before though. I play on a 5040x1050 eyefinity desktop and it seems to happen more on my middle monitor, and sometimes when I hold Q and turn so mechs are viewed on one of the side screens it fixes it for a few seconds when I face them again.

I add my own target ridicule.

Occasionally when the scoreboard is toggled too quickly the OSD will glitch and not flash back on, even more occasionally you can use this to wake up a reticule not initializing on launch. Other than that you can alert the team as you take a quick mental note of chassis/paint combinations (unless its a yellow green field of new mech) then pick a fire buddy of similar speed (focus fire with them{or fend off any incoming attackers so they may stay on focus}). If you are fast enough you can opt to cause as much mayhem as possible shoot through enemy fire lines, stir up the LRM boats then park behind something big and let them wallow in the friendly fire as you circle into the distance to begin phantom flanking. Get creative and make the best of the situation, with a little heads up the team may be more receptive to what may seem a madman at the helm.

Wait it hit both of you that same round? Also, great playing against you.
