I've been getting this every couple of games. I can't use Q. Instead of it working properly it disables the blue/red tags above players mechs.

Stock config.

I have this (in)frequently as well. Not too bad while engaging at range, but absolutely terrible when it happens in a brawl! basically I don't know who I should shout of both teams have the same Mech chassis in the fight...

The Friend/Foe indicators just seem to disappear randomly: sometimes they are gone from the beginning, sometimes it happens in the middle of the game, sometimes they come back after some time and some times it isn't even consistent over different zoom settings. Today I had a game where the indicators where only visible when not using the zoom.

Very, very annoying, imho this needs to be fixed asap.

This bug has made me grateful for people having unique camo as well as thermal no longer being the defacto standard. I actually found myself enjoying the lack of clutter to the landscape on a few drops in Tourmaline... man, what a waste it didn't occur to me to get screenies of everyone now that I think of it. Well, there's at least one glass of lemonade that could be made with it anyhow...

Had this one game since the patch. Thankfully I was in an LRM heavy loadout, so I would just aim at a mech and spam R. If the missile lock circles started appearing- Enemy.

Could this be a problem with the security features of the game preventing things from happening because the anti-hack programming can't keep up and does things like eliminating the IFF or jacking the mini-map up?

No IFF in several matches yesterday, worked through it without shooting my teammates too much. Still concerning.

I've also had something similar to this, not sure if its a bug or not, but zooming in i'd lose the blue tags on my teammates. When zooming out, they would re-appear.

Yeah I also have the zooming in that will sometimes make the friend/foe arrows disappear and won't reappear until I zoom out again.

Have the same problem at zoom 3.0. It can make opening fire a bit dangerous to my own team, so the configs I've used lately all include LRMs.

I am experiencing the bug too, it is easily the worst bug possible, not being able to distinguish friend/foe.
