Mines are buggy

[[ByS] Minimal]

I played a couple of rounds with friends and sometimes they can't see my mines at all... For me the mines are perfectly visible and for them no mines are showing on the ground... so they often run inside the mines without being able to even see them.

Is it a known bug?

I don't know if mines are even used enough for any issue with them to be "known"

But I have noticed this. There's some kind of stupid desync where for other players the mines are just invisible. Like I've dropped mines for the personal order about a week ago, I can clearly see the mines, and my buddy dies 3 times trying to get his gun he left when he died to the mines saying he just can't see them. It's kind of stupid.

Ye mines are good but if mates aren't seeing the mines it's a suicide ability... That sucks, they should fix it.

Pretty sure it's an excuse and I haven't had issue with mine visibility.

J/k, but 400 hours of play and haven't had this problem, so might be a once off.

We had it 3/4 matches.

some friends of mine have just started playing, and indeed only the host can see mines.
It appears if non-hosts look away from them after they've deployed, your game stops rendering them. Or possibly after X other object get rendered?

Either way, mines are now horrible to use in squad games. hilarious though...

Not a bug, they're visible, you just can't admit you're stepping on your own mines.

Not to try and tell you how to play, but mines are generally useless and more of a threat to the team than enemies. Don't use them.

I can confirm, I had the issue several times even knowing where the minefield was I just couldn't see it. kinda sucks when you are trying to get that full bag of stuff back you lost...

For me the host was the one using mines a lot and he could always see them. The other guy and I would only be able to see half of the minefields he deployed.

I have the advantage of playing with a mate at the same desk and seeing them clear as day on his screen and absolutely zero mines rendered on my screen.

This makes them even more funny. :D

I tested it futher and the mines are totally not rendering if people not looking while they deploy... during squad session our three squad members died because of invisble mine field of the host. Damn, that really sucks their own feature ability doesn't work in their own game.

For me, i see the mines of other players for a couple of seconds then from one to the other frame they disappear. this happened to me since the big balance patch that buffed lots of weapons.

[Rexcoji]

Sometimes the mines are planted UNDER the ground. I also do get the invisible mines where I activate them without seeing them, nearly dying.

We had this happen a bunch last night. Never use mines but the current war effort gives a free call in for everyone so we used em. Sometimes i could see all the mines. Other times i watched a friend walk on an invisible mine 10 feet in front of me and go flying lol.

Probably been a bug since day 1 but its not common to see mine fields being called down 4 at a time in every match since its not a meta pick.
