#6123 - I can't reserve other Infantryman.

[mjd]

When I despawn I cannot reserve a different infantry class and spawn in. I continue to spawn in as the first class of infantryman even after I try and reserve another unit. I have go back to the mission screen and reenter the game as a different infantryman.

[GOPHUR]

What is your rank?

[mjd]

German Lt Col.

[GOPHUR]

If you want I can try spawning in as you. I'll have to change your password and what not but you can always change it back.

I've not heard anyone else with this issue.

What infantry are you stuck with? First one spawned? Does it change if you relog?

I get the same occasionally and in different ways.

Lt Col in all three allied branches.

Lets say you spawn as engineer, despawn and the game automatically selects the 1st one in spawn list on new spawn in (rifleman) while before it used to keep the same unit you had spawned before (reserved).

Another variant is this:

You spawn out as whatever unit and select another one, spawn in and it keeps the one you had before.

Sometimes this goes on for 4 times and you have to randomly click through units and hope finally it sort of 'resets' and you spawn in as what you actually wanted.

When this last thing happened to me today i also noticed that the 'reserve unit' button wasn't showing.

This is what I am experiencing, but when i press the reserve button nothing happens. it doesn't show the new unit that I picked and when I spawn in it is the unit I originally had from the previous mission.

I've ticketed this. If anyone is seeing this please post here. If you can replicate it please post the method. RAMP and I are going to try and do some t testing and see if we can figure it out.

I get this bug when equipment is reserved upon despawning and the equipment list isn't updated from some action such as changing to brigade screen or using the +/- icons of the lists.

Some different ways to replicate or avoid the bug:

1:

-spawn smg

-rtb smg, read "smg reserved" message

-at mission screen the first entry to equipment list (rifle) is highlighted, regardless of which infantry equipment is selected I always spawn with the reserved SMG when I hit "enter world". The "reserve weapon" button doesn't have any effect except for the clicking sound at this point (the button works before spawning).

2:

-spawn smg

-blow yourself up with grenade, despawn with KIA

-reserve weapon button is broken, but it is possible to select and spawn a different equipment type

3:

-spawn smg

-rtb and reserve equipment

-select equpment from another list (e.g. a vehicle): in this case the bug does not appear as the new equipment is not from the infantry list (which is open by default when going back to mission screen).

4:

-spawn vehicle

-RTB

-spawn infantry (i.e. equipment from open list): you spawn in with the same vehicle again.

5:

-spawn smg

-rtb

-click on "minus" button to minimize infantry list, then open it again, select different equipment: in this case the bug does not appear

Another workaround is to leave the mission screen (i.e. go back to brigade screen) and enter it again. "Reserve weapon" as well as selection of equipment works again.

A little update on the above: I downloaded the latest installer and reinstalled the game. This fixed the problem as well as a bunch of other bugs.

[GOPHUR]

The latest full installer? Or that 1.34.5 patch?

[GOPHUR]

Also awesome testing. Thank you.

[mrfancyp]

The latest full installer? Or that 1.34.5 patch?

I used the full installer version 1.34.4, I still had to download a small patch (1.34.5) through playgate after that.

[GOPHUR]

Hope that fixes it for mjd and marcus as well.

[GOPHUR]

Is this still an issue for anyone?

This HAPPENS A LOT ON PARAS!

You spawn then you despawn and click enter you don't spawn because unit is not really select.

[petzl]

This is happening constantly for me...

Spawn in as ATR, then next time i try to reserve different infantry, it wont show me the picture of that new infantry type, and when i spawn in, im the same old type.

This is very reminiscent of the "mission pending" bug....

The issue here is that you have to double click the class you want to spawn, some times you even need to double click twice to get a new reservation.

This wasn't the case before 1.34 was released. Back then was it enough to just click once (mark the class) to change what type class you spawn.
