[0966] objects disappear in UAV

[Pvt.LHeureux]

As commander, sometimes when in your UAV it will stop displaying certain vehicles/wrecks/FOBs/infantry. It's really annoying to look at an enemy tank, trying to lase him, then see him just vanishes infront of you. You have to redeploy the UAV or wait for the enemy vehicles to move to another place.

Another bug is that sometimes the UAV won't properly lase, so you have to redeploy the UAV or lase stuff closer then start lasing further untill you reach your target, really irritating when trying to lase for CAS.

I experienced this issue last week on Op Marlin on the PRTA server:



I was Canadian CO and saw a MEC chopper land in J1 and an Inf squad start to build a FoB. I looked back some time later and couldn't see the FoB and assumed it had been destroyed. I was then informed there was a "MEC fortress of HMGs, TOWs + Infantry etc on J1/2" which was completely invisible to me in the UAV.

Definitely a serious issue in regards to the usefulness of the UAV.

I think it has to do something that the UAV is outside the viewrange on some maps.

because on some maps I dont have any problem with UAV but some maps fobs,tows and hmgs is invisible.

Pretty sure that can't be it. As in my example above, I saw a FoB being built which later disappeared, and occasionally re-appeared. And others in this thread have similar examples of things like that happening. It seems to almost be area specific at times.

If the problems caused due to z-fighting, it should be fixed in 1.0 . Sounds like what's causing the issue, if it's not, well that sucks

The whole UAV rotation should work on dedicated as well in 1.0, it's totally bugged in 0.97, and has been for several versions...

Yeah it depends on the position of the UAV and the view angle. I experience this bug every week.

For example, you look at a FOB, its there, you look at it 3 mins later, its gone. You wait some seconds, its still not there. But if you move the crosshair of the UAV somewhere else, but still keep the FOB location on the edge of you screen, sometimes it appears again. Disappears, as soon as you look directly at it again.

Its really annyoing. Especially if you play as a commander for 3 hours in a row on every sunday, and the UAV Laze support is really needed.

View distance is slightly higher on the edge on your screen than in the middle. It is a BF2 thing.

If you want to avoid the disappearing bug, place the UAV marker within ~500m of your target. Everything further away than 500-700m of your UAV marker will probably disappear after some time.
It seems, it is map related too. For example i am having this problem on Kashan but not on Silent Eagle.

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Weird, Predator.v2, I had the problem on both maps and also I had it from targets that were RIGHT under my UAV.

[Steeps]

Sometimes I notice on some maps that things only disappear in one direction from the UAV. Like east or west so I just reposition to the other side of the object and it shows up again.

Just tried it again to be sure.

Joined empty Kashan server and placed uav marker right on top of the US main.
Then i drived a truck like 500m down the road and hopped in the UAV.

Result: All vehicles in US main and the truck were visible all the time.

Then i repositioned the UAV like 700m away from the truck and 800-900m away from the US main.

Result: Vehicles started to disappear. Shortly after they disappeared, i could still see them on the edge of my screen until they totally disappeared.

Thing is the actual UAV position is either 200-300m north of south of the UAV marker. Just try it and you will see.

[ExeTick]

the thing is viewrange on most maps is around 500-600 meters (I think) but you can see further in a UAV but all units and fobs will be gone after 500-600 meters.

So if you place your UAV and its further away then lets say 600 meters. everything is gone.

Totaly right, i hope the UAV-System gets reworked and has a longer or permanent up time in the new version.
