Well... I'm aware of this bug for a long time now and surprisingly no one has already made a post of it.

So, here we go:

Sometimes I can't see an allied teammate on the minimap.
When I have line of sight and I look at him, he appears on my minimap (and also the tactical map), but as soon as I turn my field of vision away from him, he's not visible on my minimap any more.

However later in the game I could see him again even without line of sight... maybe it's because he got some damage.

I made some screenshots.

You can clearly see the Stalker on the minimap...



But as soon as he's out of my sight, he doesn't appear on my minimap any more.



Here's another example: ... it even doesn't exclude PGI members



And now he's gone... it's magic



It seems to happen only to the last player in your lance.. maybe this is just a coincidence

Does anyone else have this bug?

(/push)

Yes I've started noticing this lately also, just happened on last game, jenner on my team standing on same cap point but at other side of structure wasn't showing up.

[armyof1]

I think this have been around for a while, suddenly the map beeps and I think it's an enemy showing up, but instead it's a team-mate that for some reason didn't show on the map until now.

[Deathlike]

There's really no rhyme or reason that it happens, but it definitely does happen.

[Mizore]

Had the same problem twice again today... in the first game it was a member of the other lance, and in the second game it was again the last member of my lance.

[Squash]

Seen this for about a week. Also will start a round and it appears there are only 7 on the team, but really there are 8

[armyof1]

If I'd make a guess it has something to do with when a team member is added late in the game and isn't actually dropped in before all the other mechs are already starting/started up.

This bug has been in the game for MONTHS. I'm surprised it hasn't been fixed yet.

[Mizore]

Did some more testing:

It definitely only happens to the last mech either on your lance or the other lance of your team.

And it happens very often... maybe in about every 4th game.

[Dirk Le Daring]

This is something that has been happening for a few months now. I see it often.

[Asmosis]

happens in every match for me, the 4th member on my lance list requires LOS to show up on radar. I think it goes away after a while, possibly once you've locked an enemy mech since i've never noticed this towards the end of the match (might be because he died though).
