Sometimes it happens if you lock a target which is outside your view the box which should be normaly around the target is just fixed somewhere randomly on the screen.
Happened to me about every second lock.

The red box over targets seems to float around the target while both moving and the target moving instead of being centered on the target mech.
Anyone else got this new development?

Same here, seems to be a pretty common bug.

Experienced this in three games in a row. Sometimes new enemy amrkers don't show up even though there isn't a ECM mech around.

It appears to happen when you lose lock and you turn away just as you regain lock again.

Have seen this twice today, both times it was a teammate that was locked onto the target mech. But i got the red box just floating on my screen.

Perhaps it's the ghost targets from ECM. It really could have used a buff.

Try this with advanced zoom and move your torso. It looks like the hud (lock) is drawn as if it there was no advanced zoom, so you get the rectangle not with respect to the pip, but with respect to your normal view. That makes it hard to associate what you see in pip and what you have a lock on.

Since this patch my HUD sometimes displays a triangle indicating an enemy or friendly mech but they it is static and unrelated to the actual location of the mechs.

Don't know yet how to reproduce but might be related to ECM from what I saw.

edit: Can probably be merged with this thread, sounds the same issue or at least a related issue:

Also getting the stuck brackets, but less often.

Same here, sometimes a triangle or full target square pops up on the hud. Very confusing.
