0.8 Rally bug

Here's a new bug that sucks pretty bad and imo needs high priority fixage. Just randomly (I haven't noticed any reasons why it happens) the dot you select your squads rally with simply disappears. You can still see the rally number and marker but there's no white dot to click on so you can spawn there. Other squad members can still spawn in or sometimes it happens to another member too.
Some people have no idea this bug exists which is understandable so early into the release but it sucks trying to explain it to them and they think it's just that annoyance where you have to press enter a couple of times to spawn in.
So yeah, I'm puttin it out here. Hopefully this wasn't posted already, I checked the first page of this section so sorry if it was.

this used to happen i 0.7 so i guess the devs know about it and can't help it.

do you have any repro steps for the devs? Im a QA tester and a bug like that sounds like a tricky one to pin down...if you can find a case where it happens everytime then that info could prob help the devs find and fix it alot quicker

I'm not sure if it's taboo to tell people [I don't see why it would be], but if this bug occurs do the following:
Spawn on another squad's rally point [if there is one]. This will teleport you to your rally point. If you do not have a rally point it will teleport you to the "main" flag, whichever that may be.

Yeah, happens quite often, more annoying when it happens to a firebase which you can'y spawn on all game. Just have a quick check on the map when you get a new rally down to make sure you can spawn on it. If not, ask the SL to place another one right after it and it should go away.

Same thing happened to me yesterday on Barracuda. I was SL and was denied use of the RP I dropped. Also this was the first time this ever happened to me and was never an issue on .756 for myself but as stated above there is a way around it. Now I know.
