In pretty much every other match now, I get at least one mech on my team that will not show up as friendly. In the past this was common in the first minute of the match (whole lances would not show up as friendly) but it resolved quickly so by the time battle was really joined it worked fine.

Now the friendly mech will not show up as friendly (on battle map as well) through entire match.

There are easy workarounds so it is not an urgent issue:

1) Just shot them and see if they act friendly.
2) Hold your fire and see if you get vaporized.
3) Go buy a cockpit item.

getting this frequently aswell

[IronChance]

I've been getting this on nearly every match since last patch. I ran the repair tool and it fixed it for a couple matches, but then it came back.

Here's one of many for you. 3 friendlies, 1 appears on IFF.

[Tarogato]

I see it once every three or four matches. It's usually more than one mech at a time and I can't tell you how many friendlies I've laid SRMs into when they came around a corner in front of me looking like an enemy under ECM. It's to the point where I'm afraid of shooting things that probably are actual enemies.

[Ashvins]

Getting this as well. On avarage 4 freindlys will have IFF the rest do not, ya gotta fix this PGI ASAP please.

[Mechteric]

Same here, before it happened once in a blue moon, but I saw it two matches in a row out of a few matches tonight.

[Koniving]

I'm having this every. single. match.

1 to 5 players on my side without signatures.

[Beaching Betty]

Same here, **** this pgi

[Westy543]

You get damage markers on them too. They don't seem to be lance mechs but it could just be at random.

[senaiboy]

I thought you get damage markers on any mech you hit.

At least the TAG does (since I can remember), I've not tried other weapons on friendlies yet for obvious reasons ..

[Draven Darkshadow]

yeah you get damage markers for any mechs which is why they should put a display warning or even a voice call out that you are hitting friendly mechs

[MetricChitTon]

Have at least 1 of these every 3 matches or so. Unintentional team kills are inevitable…

Edit/question: Has anyone seen this w/ an enemy mech?

[Weirdjedi]

I'm getting this every match. It can range from 1 to 11 members on my team. Just started after this patch.

[Entail]

this used to happen rarely (I was under the impression that this happened exclusively on clan mechs),
but now it happens every other match,
I even team killed an atlas today, so to that person who I teamkilled on alpine, I am so sorry lol, I thought you were an enemy atlas with ECM. After I team killed you, I apologized, but you just left, so I'm sorry if I pissed you off
because I get pretty darn annoyed when someone team kills me too

This bug also appears every match, sometimes whole teams are without blue triangles. This actually led me to nearly teamkill a few people because I had no idea they were friendly. And others to teamkill me thinking that I'm an enemy.

PGI fix this pl0x, it's a terrible bug.

P.S. Anyone played Driftwood MC2X campaign and thought about that Davenport Oil Rig mission? Where Wolfman coded some Nova Cats to secretly be enemies although shown as friendly and once you get to a certain spot they would try to assassinate you?

[Gambit001]

Yep, this issue.
It sucks.
Please fix it PGI.
I wouldn't want this happening once CW is out.

[John1352]

I'm getting this every second game. As it's so common, I tend to look for behavior (carefully) if I don't see an IFF. Between this and the desyncs (which may be ~20% better since patch), I want bugfixing more than anything at the moment.

[Blacksoul1987]

this is a big problem I have now TK'd 3 friendlies cause of this Bug seems like I could run the risk of getting banned if this keeps up
