happened to me a couple of times- when I asked around I was told to respawn which seems to work. So it seems to be a known (if rather recent) bug. Looks like more Fix 1, Break 2 to me.

Searched but didnt find anything on forum so hope this is not a duplicate report.

Remember those CTDs in like 1.34.5?

Well, now they are gone... kind off.

In 1.34.x versions I got my CTDs when changing brigade from French to English, or when spawning in from like a english armybase while a French brigade was moved into town.

So now when trying the 1.34.7 I am not CTDing when spawning, but instead I find myself in no-man-land:

1. If you try to make a mark on map you get "Submission Denied - No mission" ... twice... in chat
   
2. Objects on map do not update correctly. I had 2 ei:s hunting me with lmg around a fb bust, but noone on my mission could see my chat or they even did not be there at all when running to their positions showing on map. But ops chat was working because I saw someone had blown the fb I was spawned to blow. And I saw it with my own eyes. But on map no allied fb was showing.
   
3. When changing persona to english again, then the allied fb showed, and .ow worked for it. But the axis fb was still there, and doing a .ow on it showed "fb closed", or something like that.
   
4. Trying to spawn after haved choosing a new persona i got "Invalid brigade control notice"... again twice, just after spawning in. And that continued until I restarted game.
   

So hope it isnt a double post... I made some screenshots showing double fbs... but wont post now.. want to get into game again

Update and cleared my findings up a bit for this bug:

In 1.34.7 I am not CTDing when hitting the old CTD-bug (changing brigades from french to english) spawning, but instead CTD is replaced by finding myself in no-man-land:

1. If I try to make a mark on map you get "Submission Denied - No mission" ... twice... in chat
   
2. Objects on map do not update correctly. Was on fb bust and heard it get blown but fb did not dissapear, it was still there. And on map it was also still there.
   
3. When changing persona back and forth, and back to english again, then the allied fb showed, and .ow worked for it. But the axis fb was still there, and doing a .ow on it showed "fb closed", or something like that. SO BOTH FBs were there depending on which town you clicked (on same link)
   
4. Trying to spawn after haved choosing a new persona i got "Invalid brigade control notice"... again twice, just after spawning in. And that continued until I restarted game.
   

Sometimes this error corrects itself by RTB:ing, and then rejoining same mission.

And note:

Other players (opposite side) can still kill you.

AND

You can still hurt enemy (satchel or weapon fire)

Sometimes I think this could explain why I sometimes get problems with ghost players getting visible just a tiny bit "too late".

Like you rush a cp where you know that lmg is deployed in that corner... You rush in that room, empty. But 5sec later (not 500ms) that enemy player magically is visible and shoots you. And this is not that old "being shot around the corner bug when guarding" because this affects the opposite charging player.

Happened top me at least 7 times this week as well as other players on Squad.

Not seeign their marks, not seeing chat but on mission.

They are invisible as well on mini map at times.

Very frustrating

[GOPHUR]

Amen rat.

I'll keep an eye out for this one. Let me know when you see it and if you see any correlation.

[GOPHUR]

What's the current status on this?

[DOC]

still happening when the host has a hairball

not as often as it was, but hasn't been solved either

[jon8798]

A few odd things with the map I've noticed recently.

Sometimes when you try to place marks on the map it doesn't let you and gives "mission invalid - submission denied" error. I restart the game to fix this.

In nearly every battle with more than a few people about there seem to be people missing from the map. So you see someone running in front of you but nothing on the map.

This guy was running around happily but can't be seen on the minimap

Same with this running inf and the vickers

All these players on a new defensive mission, I could see many of them in town...

But only one showing up on the map

Other people have it too. Plenty of times guys call out saying xxx CP is unguarded but my map shows someone in it.

[kieran]

Haven't yet seen it myself, but at least a few times I've been playing with my squad and someone has reported the "mission invalid - submission denied" message when trying to place marks.

[JOKER007]

I posted elsewhere, the "submission denied, not on mission" bug covers these symptoms. Whatever "that" is, is the problem and seems to lead to all the other issues.

not a global or even group in an area phenomenon. 1 person out of the group usually has it for every spawn it. Also, place a FRU and you see it, but as soon as you turn around, it disappears and no spawns on your mission, as if it can't be seen by others.

[JOKER007]

I have played a lot in the last 10 days, US PST late (Aussie/NZ). I have had this at least twice for every play period. I can find no predictability in it. Common bug.

Sometimes - when it is worst - you spawn in and have no "radio" channel labels at all.

I suspect whatever you did to keep the game from dropping players (cthl) by trying to reconnect for longer times is related to this (conjecture).

[expatpom]

Hey all,

Tested this one out with WockaWocka , who also posted on this one a few days ago, think that thread is in the testing/bug report forum.

He was the ML and getting the same as described, I joined his mission and also received the same error.

So it is not only happening to the original ML but the subsequent players who join the mission also.

Cheers

[GOPHUR]

Do you tend to get this after the server has restarted or you've gotten a reconnection message in chat?

Other than relogging is there another way to fix this?

[GOPHUR]

Thanks guys. Good feedeback. Will add to ticket.

[expatpom]

Gophur,

Forgot to mention also that while in this state the other players are not visible on the map.

Same situation for the ML also.

[JOKER007]

I'm seeing this with no server restart and with no reconnection message.

It just happens when you spawn in. And the mission itself is bugged, because you can pass it to another player and *they* cannot place marks, etc.

At least on ground nothing seems to "cause" it. It just is.

[jon8798]

There doesn't seem to be any pattern to it. It just comes and goes regardless of what the server has been doing. Last night I played for over an hour before it happened. I restarted the game and it was fine again.

I've not had a reconnection message in chat for a while now, maybe two weeks.

I've not found any other way to fix it. Despawning and respawning doesn't help, neither does switching to a new brigade and trying again - although I have only tried this a couple of times, my default setting now is to just restart the game.

[wockawocka]

The reason you do not see it because the person that is not showing on map has recently had that "Almost CTD bug", or as I choose to call it "Invalid brigade control notice received"

http://forums.battlegroundeurope.com/showthread.php?t=383224

The invisible person has recently changed brigade and if that person looks closely I think this is where you get the green text "Invalid brigade control notice received" twice in chat (could be wrong here, lot of bugs on top of each other)

HOWEVER

The person that do not see others can't do anything -> It is not their fault. Reported as bug #6209 "Player icons not appearing on map"

AND

The person that is not showing on map is suffering from bug #6202 "mission invalid - submission denied", and he/she can do a simple fix:

RTB, and join the same mission (no delay this time).

Now people can see him/her, and he/she can make marks without getting "mission invalid - submission denied"

BUT

Then another small bug resides for the person that made the RTB fix:

That person can NOT post $miss

Brigade will show, but not the name of the Mission Leader

And this does not get resolved by RTB and spawn again.

Restart of game is the only way I fixed the $miss bug.

But these 3 bugs, maybe 4 are all related to that looooong almost CTD bug when switching brigades/country. "Almost CTD" starts all the problems.

"Almost CTD" needs a ticket when I think about it

Causing these at least three bugs:

#6202 mission invalid - submission denied

#6209 Player icons not appearing on map

"Invalid brigade control notice received" -> or what i call "Almost CTD" bug

[jar644]

Had this tonight when trying to post waypoints on my own air mission. I had a connection to host reset error when I first started up, but was able to retry the enter world and got in.

[qa]

I have gotten this a few times, but I have also noticed that sometimes when I try and mark an item on the map, the mark icon will flash 3 or 4 times and then go away.

[GOPHUR]

Added to ticket.

[GOPHUR]

This should be fixed with today's host update. Please let me know if issues persist.

[GOPHUR]

I'm guessing fixed then?

testing at the moment, reply pending
