We all know this one. You zoom in while looking around at friendly mechs and once zoomed, their IFF info (the little blue carat, their playername, etc) that sits over their head disappears until you unzoom.

Not only is this bug still around, it's actually been much more present now since the HUD fix. It's not there every match, but it's there a lot more than it has been in the past.

Since it's widely reported, can we assume this is still being worked on?

I second this. As a result of it I TK'd someone today. Which was rather an awful thing to do.

[Waking One]

Confirming. But for me its less common than before.

[POWR]

It is less common, but it happens.

Same here. Day 1, I had no problems. Within the week I experienced IFF missing through zoom, a few times here and there. Last night it happened quite a bit. I fear the bugs are slowly creeping back.

I read somewhere that this was related to a custom FOV (I use 75)...but still a bug that needs to be addressed.

Might that also be the issue with Advanced Zoom?

I only just figured out the "carats" behave as per the rest of the screen when you try to use this item …

[Mild Monkey]

It rarely happens with normal zoom but almost ALWAYS with the PiP Advanced Zoom module.

[WayBadMojo]

I run a standard FOV and have no advanced zoom and I get the issue on a semi-regular basis.

[aniviron]

I get this more matches than I don't. It's been happening for so long that I just don't use 3x zoom out of habit now.

[ArcDemon]

It seems to be map related for me. Larger maps have it, smaller maps don't.

[Aleric]

Happened twice in the new map, came over a ridge zoomed in and almost unloaded on my Lance since it showed no name or tag. I stopped using the advanced pip zoom since the pic is so bad and grainy you cant see friend or foe regardless, if they move forget about it.

[John MatriX82]

I lose IFF always whenever I use the second step of zoom.. it's pretty annoying.

[TanE]

Sometimes, I have it, too.

Only in 2x Zoom. But if I move my torso, the IFF returns when the other mechs are near the border of the field of view.

I recognize the bug only on alpine so far.
