Just wanted to report that i have noticed that the Warhawk zoom is really temperamental.

I have the zoom set to the mouse wheel (zoom in = mouse wheel up, zoom reset = mouse wheel down), and i have noticed that sometimes the "zoom in" event doesn't get invoked, or there is a 1 second delay before it happens. It seems to resemble the behavior i would expect if the mouse wheel was dirty... but i know this isn't the case because i don't have any problems with any other applications.

This problem has only emerged since the latest patch so i'm looking at you PGI .

I have also noticed that a partial red target marker sometimes remains in the hud instead of disappearing when targets are switched. sometimes this only seems to get stuck in adv. zoom mode i.e. phantom target marker gets stuck in adv. zoom. disappears when adv. zoom is turned off, and then re-appears when using adv. zoom mode again - which is very strange behavior but i have seen this problem before, after a patch around 6 months ago (or something like that).

I am curious as to whether other people have experienced the same problem.

Yes, both.

Just out of curiosity, would you be in the UK and using Virgin Media as your ISP?

I'm with Sky but three of my unit use Virgin and have had lag issues of late (~130-140, up from around 105ms). Some of them have also had zoom issues.

With Track IR, advanced zoom is just unusable - the reticles fire nowhere near where you are zooming...

It is like..search the enemy. I Keep all locked in my advanced zoom....since last patch.
To make it clear. When I made the screenshoot. 0 enemys had been alive.

I've just had a drop in a Grid Iron (Gauss, Advanced Zoom module) - enemy target boxes remain in the zoom window even when no longer targeted. Also have partial target box borders in the top left of my hud when not zoomed in

I've seen partial red target brackets that get stuck on the screen. This one feels like a lag artifact.

Dead mechs which remain locked on for some time after death. Long enough that I could toggle R back to them and regain lock on the wreckage. This one feels more like a lag artifact.

I've seen my field of view offset to the left by some degrees of my mech. Like in a hellbringer when I fired my "left torso weapons" they shoot out of the center/right side of my field of view as if my cockpit is floating to the left of my mech's left shoulder outside the mech.

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Shure...I can have the same Player 4times in my Hud..in 4 differrent mechs...I can choose at wich one I shoot..one is correct..and a lot more..It is just laag..NO ist a F bug wich makes it nearly unplayabel.

I have the same problem with my adv. Zoom. The Problem exists since the last Patch! i hope there comes a hotfix, quickly...

Does anyone ever read the freaking patch notes? It's a known issue...

Yup... do you think that this might relate to a latency issue then... not related to the zoom but the targeting i'm guessing?

Fair enough... your right, cause i didn't read the patch notes so my bad there i guess... did it mention anything about zoom lag though? I'm hoping this post has some trace of merit to it, to make up for my eager typing fingers

RARELY? I see RED after 3min ALL OVER MY SCREEN? How can I see iff I kill friend or foe? RARELY? 100% reproductionrate.

Nope, nothing is mentioned about the zoom.

Honestly, i'm having the issue only from time to time, and just in a corner of the screen, so, often it's even unnoticeable.

[Cyberiad]

I've had this issue as well. It is pretty annoying. A quick fix would be appreciated.

[Dan Baxter]

I have experienced both of the OP's problems, but the second one has been far more common for me.

[Septi]

Yeah i have also been getting the ghost target brackets appearing top left corner, and in advanced zoom.
