Join squadmate on mission update bug

[PITTPETE]

Squaddie types out 17/1/Chayne and when I click on squad tab and click the join button it always shows the previous mission/brigade he was in.

Have to back out and then hit join again for it to work correctly..

Related to update bug?

Dunno. I'll test tomorrow when the server is up.

I've seen this bug occasionally for years. Open the squad tab, and sometimes it takes a long time for it to refresh to current missions. It's one of those "I guess this is just how it is" issues, so I didn't bother reporting it. I know...very helpful...but I assumed it happens for everyone.

I can't replicate this one.

[PITTPETE]

How many squadmates you have when you try?

Usually like 20 plus on squad when i get it Gophur

Its like when a squaddie logs and you still see his name in squad tab for a minute.

Takes awhile to update I guess.

I've seen it with only five or so squad mates on.

[PITTPETE]

This still happens

Try to join squaddies mission

You then join their old/previous mission

Back out and then it updates you to correct mission

Mission update bug?

It's not bug IMHO

I have same problem with 2 squadie online. This can be solved by patience, squadlist wil be refreshed about 20-40s and everything will work fine.

My test scenario is little different

Affected

Player 1, Mission A

Player 2, Mission B

Player 2 is creating new one and speaking :join in to the my new mission, hurry hurry

Player 1 klikklikklikinsecond baaaaaa. It's bug, I am on another mission in another brigade.

Not affected

Player 1, Mission A

Player 2, Mission B

Player 2 is creating new one and speaking :join in to the my new mission, but wait about 30sec at squadlist for refresh.

Player 1 klik ... klik ... klik ... right mission.

That makes sense Clone. Not sure what recourse I have to increase that update rate.

If you can add a forced refresh when the squad tab is opened it would solve the bulk of this problem. When I open the squad tab to quickly join a squadmate in trouble, that's when old data is a problem. If the refresh can be forced whenever the tab is opened, this won't be an issue.

If I decide not to do anything but have the squad tab open for a while, the current refresh is fine since time is not a factor, and I know I got a refresh when the tab was opened (if the fix is added).
