Javlin lock-on graphic not shown

over the last week or so i have noticed my javlin does now show any red/orange box around objects as i lock on and soflam lazer designations do not appear for me.

 

has this happened to anyone else?

 

were you able to reslove the issue?

 

if so, how?

 

 

i was thinking or deleting game data and re-installing but it would take an hour or more to do this

I have seen random occurrence's of this, but never had it stay like it. I would suggest you turn your router of for ten seconds and try it again first.

Same.  I thought it was just lag,  like when I can't spot fast moving jets from the ground for my team,  I always assumed that internet lag was the cause because the jet wasn't actually there anymore - it had moved on but I received the data late.  So the delay meant I couldn't spot it.

Re: Javlin lock-on graphic not shown

I doubt it's Internet lag, more likely it's the crappy servers that we even have to pay to rent.
It seems that when you get instances like these it effects all people playing on that server, EG: when the sound drops out.

I only recommended to reset the router as it takes a lot less time to eliminate that first.

Stinger / Igla has been the same lately.

Its either flashing box no sound, or sound and no box.

I tend to just spam the fire button anyway so it fires as soon as it can.

Re: Javlin lock-on graphic not shown

Reckon it's EA sold too many servers, not bothered upping the server side capacity

Most servers are crappy these days, the official ones are the worst

Re: Javlin lock-on graphic not shown

It could be lag caused by players from other regions joining the server. I noticed this last night when a few Americans hopped in, that Javelins weren't locking like normal, and neither were tanks guided shells.

 

Everything worked fine prior to their arrival, although I accept it could have been coincidental.
