Dont know if someone experienced the same but i (rvn 3l with ecm) had a 1 on 1 with a jenner 7D and my ssrm weren't able to lock on to him.

No one nearby who could bring an ecm (45 seconds into the game), even switching ecm modes didn't help.

match ended 13:20 gmt+1 on caustic conquest mode.

server lag (usually)

maybe i wasn't clear enough^^

could not lockon = no rings, no lockon animation of the crosshair, nothing. tried to fire them cause i thought the animation was bugged but nothing :/

Well, i was in that match too. It was a smooth running one. No lag.

Oh ok, you weren't clear indeed in that case. No rings I've never seen. I'd have said a power down/up cycle might have brought them back but since you tried locking blindly that probably wasn't it, guess the server thought you had no launchers.

Server lag is when you have rings but they just do not lock.

Just experienced yesterday the opposite bug : two ECM mechs surrounding a streak-ECM raven 3L, one in counter, me in disrupt, and starting to dance around him.
No other ecm opponent was here, and still the raven was able to strike me with 3 or 4 strikes of streaks, like the counter+disrupt werent working...

The bug seems pretty new, but i think that wasnt the subjet here, sorry...

[Hot Rod]

was able to pin it down.

was switching weapon grouping on the walk to the point.

when you don't have the weapon (ssrm in my case) in any group they wont lockon..

SOLVED

It was me in the Jenny and I can confirm there was no hidden ECM behind the corner.

-e- Good to know

Just to make absolutely 100% Sure that there are no other factors influencing this... here some silly, but important questions;

Did you have SSRM ammunition on your mech (regular SRM wont work because you changed from an SRM build to an SSRM build recently and forgot to change the ammunition for example).

How high is your ping and how long were you able to keep the Jenner in your reticule at a time (SSRM lockon takes a little time and if you loose lock during that time, then you have to start from scratch... plus if you haev a very high ping, then it could be that you have to aim agead of the Jenner to achieve a lock)


EDIT... damn... I really should type faster or shorter posts....

I have had the same problem with LRMs on my Catapult-A1... no ECM involved.

[Mounty]

I've seen this in a couple of games running a new Raven, I haven't used streaks much for a long time now so i wasn't sure if it was an ECM thing or not. Sometimes the targeting circles would be there sometimes they wouldn't, I couldn't figure out what I was doing differently.

In one game I chased a Commando for about 5 minutes made and broke contact with him a dozen times or more. If the circles came up no problem, if they didn't nothing I could do would make a difference, range, ECM mode, time on target. I had to break contact and re-aquire him sometimes several times. I never made any changes to my weapons groupings, so I'm thinking theres a bug here.

[Rushin Roulette]

This is not a bug...

You probably did not have the weapon group 1 selected.. You need to have the selection cross on the weapon groups on weapon group 1... otherwise you will only be shooting the selected weapon group and no others. If you have lasers on 1, TAG on 2 and SSRMs on 3... but have the selection cross on weapon group 1... then you will only be able to shoot the TAG and no Lasers or SSRMs.

[Codejack]

Lag can cause that if the server thinks that an ECM mech is in range (or if it doesn't think that your reticule is actually pointing at the enemy).

same experience one time on RVN 3L few day ago, 1 vs 1 with a Stalker ! no lock all around!
also as spectator on another 3L, he has had the same problem and claimed for this bug.. mh.
