Not sure if this is what people are referring to when they talk about the "HUD Bug" which was just addressed with a hotfix, but I will randomly lose targeting information during a match -- where the blue and red triangles that differentiate friend from foe just disappear.

It's then nearly impossible for me to safely shoot targets -- especially in a brawl (where I like to play). If this was what was being addressed by the hotfix on 5/14, then it is my sad duty to report that it didn't work...

It doesn't happen to me every battle, and sometimes it clears if I bring up the battlegrid, but I'd say 1 out of 4 it's there. I even got my first TK the other day

There seems to be a problem for some people when zoomed in; I've also heard reports of the indicators dropping after a battlegrid toggle. But these seem to be separate issues. Have you submitted a report ticket or checked the support sub-forums?

[Darwins Dog]

It sounds like you are describing the effects of ECM more than anything. The loss of the triangles happens when an enemy mech with ECM moves close to your friends. If it's one of the master mechs (Spider, Commando, Cicada, or Raven) then they are probably moving in and out of battle, which is why it seems random.

In one case, it can be ECM. Check for Low Signal when it happens. If not, then it's possibly the zoomed in bug.

It is not a bug fixed with the patch, the patch fix addressed minimap issues, broken / missing map, and Spectator Mode while alive issues as well as severe loss of frame rate problems associated with error message backlogs constantly being generated.

HUD bugs typically mean things like No HUD at all, erroneous HUD information, additional mysterious crosshairs, glitchy numbers instead of text, frozen or nonfunctional minimap, and even crazy screaming yellow triangles filling the entire screen.

ECM will cause the IFF indicators (of both friendly and enemy mechs) to disappear within it's area of effect, and that is working as intended

Thee is also a non-ECM-related bug that can cause ally IFF indicator to disappear without any ECM, but this typically only affects users while using zoom.

After the patch I've had no problem at all. Used to be 1 in 3 times.

Not had a single in game complaint for a week or so now, used to be every game. You should report this to the team, it's a beta after all...
