Title: No team indicators
Description: No "blue indicator or information on team members
Location: Various maps, but not all mechs - some team members have blue triangle and info, some do not.
Reproduction Rate: sporadic
Steps to Reproduce: Random. I shot at a team member until he text complained. I thought he was enemy with ecm because there was no indicator over his mech -red or blue.
I apologized but I don't think he believed me. I think his name was t9nv3 or something like that.
This is a serious bug as it can turn team mates away from you forever.

I too, have encountered this today. I shot a Blackjack that was on my team with a triple UAC5 because he had no blue indicator. This will be a serious problem if it persists.

They weren't powered down, were they?

Seems a lot of this going on:

Did not think this problem was that big, did they break something again?

This happens regularly, no less than 3 times a night. For me I see it most often on Alpine (maybe that's just me). The friendly is typically within 500m of me and is powered on and moving. One moment they have no blue triangle over them and they otherwise present the same details as an enemy mech under ECM cover, then the next moment they have a blue triangle over them. At this point I am usually apologizing for shooting them. This is an annoying feature.

Definitely not powered down. I think blackbeltjones described it best.

Well I can see how this could be used as an excuse if someone is trolling/teamkilling...

[Darth Hotz]

Had this too and was close to kill a teammate. Big bug!

[Cest7]

Confirming this bug has been around since beta.

[knight-of-ni]

This bug is back again. It was supposedly fixed months ago.

No IFF indicator above nearby, friendly mech. Was not powered down. Yes, I'm sure it was friendly. l'll collect a screenshot next time I witness it.

Oddly enough, he disconnected moments later. No idea if that had anything to do with it.

I have had this experience more than once, Both in 12 man and public queue. I also thought that they were enemy mechs under ECM.

I have a video of it somewhere I think.. I will upload it later if i can find it. A friendly lance at the start of the match with no IFF.
Happened to me at the start of a match... I assume based on the recent feedback, it is happening more now.

Pressing 'Q' to highlight all friendlies seems to resolve the problem immediately.
Remember people Friend or Foe at close range... They all have IFF... No longer does ECM block IFF at close range.

[Baldaeous]

It is lame to say remember to hit Q or remember that they are not under ecm from close range.
How about just fix the damn game.

LOL... How about not being a forum troll... It is called a workaround.. You go fix the game Fedrat.

Nice comeback Shin. I just thought that since I had spent over $200 on this game that maybe some basic functionality could be fixed instead of a "workaround". And no, I won't go fix the game, I paid for others who do it for a living to fix it.

Talk about trolls .... chastising the paying customers for wanting what they paid for. Now go back into your hole or under your rock ... wherever you emerge from to berate the people who are frustrated with issues like this that never seem to get addressed.
