FRU is deployed, then immediatly no longer available

[geeezer]

Rethel - Naval brigade 4th Zerst Monday about 1630 US central time

Obtained ML because all others despawned and did .takelead.

Ran 2 k north of town to set up defensive FRU.

FRU was green to go. Tried about 5 times. Every time I got message that FRU was deployed. Then instantly it dissapers and I get no longer available message.

Finally died to sherman while typing ***** in chat.

Your brig was moved or bounced?

[kareca]

It happened to me yesterday too...

[alexande]

happened to me yesterday but I believe it was because there is no active AO. tried to set up one at laon, moments after la fere got grabbed,

This game is complicated!

[snailtrail]

Same problem here. The mission was active and people were spawning but couldn't open fru as it would shut down as soon as soon as the build meter completed.

[MOTORMOUTH]

Ya, we're going to try to do something to sort that out.

[delems]

I've got this, where the FRU completely builds and shows on map, but seconds later disappears and says "MSP gone" or something like that.

I have heard that 'you' (or the system) are bugged when that happens. I log out of game and come back in and it is goes away and I can then build FRU properly. Has happened a couple of times to me, can be pretty frustrating when you need a MSP and you are unable to create one after all that driving.

I want a vehicle FRU so I can spawn in my tank... and if CRS wants to make this even more unrealistic lets have FRUs in the clouds so I can spawn in my plane anywhere I like as well. Hell for that matter fark the depots, ABs, FBs, and airfields all together. Lets just cut to the chase; we all know where this is heading. The future game 1.35 in a nutshell, I’ll spell it out for you… place your mouse pointer anywhere on the map, click and you’re in.

Amen.

I have the same feeling. I was against mobile spawns when they arrived, how can I then agree with these things? The game is losing it's soul, the thing that made it different from all other war games.

[blupete]

same thing for me today at BoZ.

Pls correct it soon, frustrating to drive 20 minutes and then get this ....

for munchkin and shmonkey. I like FRU. Lots of people like it. You know, in the game also INF pays and wanna play, not only tankers and pilots.

Live with that, there's a lot of game and combat behind it. And fun.

You can also build and finally get the MS deployed message if you try to build a MS/FRU where you are not allowed to.

Like if you set a mission one town too far away.

Like for instance your side has don't have an brigade in a town your side control, but in the next town. You see the enemy has a FB up to the town that is now ready to be soft-cap.

You post a mission in the town with the brigade, takes a truck and drive to the next town and heading down to the enemy FB. You get Green ghost FRU and you start deploying. You get message that you deployed a MS. A second or two later will you get a message that the MS was removed. You never saw any MS/FRU in the game world.

Reason: The MS rules didn't allow you to deploy the MS/FRU here.

I suggest that when we try to deploy a MS where we can't should we get a message telling us this.

I don't say that this is what happend to vonKurt since he said it was a defensive MS. That should not have been any problem, hence it sounds like a bug to me (even though I don't have all facts here).

Do you realize that you can actually spawn in in those 1-2 seconds? Anywhere on the map. Just takes 2 people on mission to do it.

[Sparre]

I don't think you can since there never is a visible MS in the game world. Hence there is no MS to spawn from.

I think it just take a second or two for the system to react to give the message that there is no MS. But I am not sure of course. Damn hard to test since you need to be faster then 1 second to hit the spawn button.

[GOPHUR]

Is the disappearing FRU still an issue? Sounds like a server went south.

[Sparre]

Not that I have heard of Gophur. I will have to ask around.

[GOPHUR]

TY Sparre.

It seems this hasn't occured the last couples of weeks. As you said Gophur, it was probably a server hick-up.

[GOPHUR]
