Falkland issue with Deploying AA, TOW etc

Post by boost2464 »

Hey there seems to be an issue with deploying AA, TOW etc most of the time.
I for one have tried it in multiple games in a range of different areas to no avail.
After bringing up the issue with others I have heard similar reports.
It seems that sometimes it just keeps trying to deploy until you try to deploy something else and when trying to run through the area you seem to run into an invisible wall as if it has actually deploy but is invisible then tries to deploy again and lands on you without actually killing you like it would normally if deploying on top of you.
I have seen others deploy things so am unsure how common this problem is on the whole but the majority of people i have talked to have had this problem.

Cheers, this is a known issue and we are looking into it, but what side(s) did you test this on and what weapons for each side did you have this issue on?

Thanks! :D

We managed to place a recoiless fine as Argentina on AAS day, but the AA we placed made me glitch into the map, and when i proned i fell through and had to suicide. Was at Teal Inlet either side of the road overlooking the plains north.

The AA didn't actually place, just seemed to make a hole in the map or something.

I was trying to place and it said 'the asset is being deployed' (or whatever it says) 3 times which I found odd.

Same for me. Tried to place AA, it said it was deploying, I heard the small 'deploy sound' and then nothing. Maybe under the ground? As it then after said that I already placed AA. Same for mortars.

However I watched a squad of Brits deploy a FOB, then HMG, then TOW and AA. So maybe only the Arg side has the problem?

Brits managed to deploy a Milan AT correct without problems? 100% sure?

Also anyone tried deploying mortars yet on either side?

Cheers!

Confirmed that we can deploy mortars\hmg\spg\foxhole on arg side.
Problems in only in AA.

Maybe there some problems with vietnam python scripts?

No I'm pretty sure I know excatly what the issue with the AA is, had it also in the OB testing but trying to work out if there are any other offenders. Hopefully BD will be able to fix it sometime today, if not, I'll have a crack at it :)

Seen a few british stationary AT and AA doing just fine, and also I've placed mortars successfully as the argies once or twice.

Yep, gone though the python files and found the problem and fixed it, was what I thought it was and didn't find any other deployable with the same problem.

Hopefully we will be able to get a server side patch out soon with this fix + a few others ;)
