Ok this might have been mentioned before but I am having a very annoying Clan LRM issue.

Basically I get the red of target lock plus the announcement, "Target Aquired" but their seems to be a big delay in ACTUALLY getting a lock. Often, in fact almost every time, I get these notifications only to have my LRMs not actually lock and basically act just like I dumb fired them at the cursor.

Anyone else having the same issue?

Yup. Known issues.

Takes about a full second or so after tone to get full lock. I jet expect it and don't really notice anymore. Heck, honestly, it's ok with me as a trade off for being half weight. The stream fire helps to, but lets face it, if one doesn't have AMS, those streams focus damage better than the cloud of IS LRMs, anyhow.

are you listening for the quiet single beep before you fire?

go off the beep, not the red cursor or voice.

Yep, getting the same issue.

Its been around from the time they put in the clans. THey know about it and they dont care. I asked one of the dev during a game they said "its being looked into" that was 4 months ago.

Seems like an easy fix, I mean IS LRMs work like they are suppose to so just copy and paste the code that manages IS LRM locking to the code that manages Clan LRM locking.

I have seen the lock issue with IS lrms too. This showed up right after they put the reconnect code in. What i find funny is the tone lock works most the time. The code they're using for it should be used for the cursor.

Have the issue with both. Lock is not actually achieved for between .5 and 1 seconds after tone and visual pop up. Really annoying waste of some good shots.

This affects both IS and Clan LRMs, and has been around for several months. Very annoying.

Happens to all LRMs - not just clan issue.

i'v played over 1500 games with LRMs and have yet to ever hear this 'tone', so i wait a sec after lock

I'm having the same issue with IS LRMs. Lock, tone, fire. And they were not actually locked... dag nabit.

I've had that happen on my Trebuchet. Don't think it's limited to Clans.

[Ultimax]

It's a bug, and needs to be fixed.

Yup.

It's also an IS issue, it's just more pronounced on the Clans. I think it's also a bit of a lag issue, where your client registers the lock but the server does not.

At this point, getting used to bug is a bad thing.
