Hmm I cant reproduce the issue, once my vehicle becomes abandoned the ability becomes available again. Is there any additional info you can think of to help me reproduce the issue?
Or can your provide a video of the issue occurring?
An idea: Could it be that when the bug occurs:
- The vehicle first gets abandoned
- Then, the command ability becomes neutralized
- However, since the vehicle is no longer in control of the affected player, this doesn't refresh the ability of the player to designate a new command vehicle?
This bug definitely exists, and occurred to me every time a Command Vehicle Universal Carrier gets abandoned (4 out of 4)
- Take an Universal Carrier (no upgrades)
- Upgrade Carrier with command vehicle
- Start shooting at it, and pray to the RNG gods that it gets abandoned
- UKF player is unable to designate a new command vehicle.
Moreover:
- Even when I managed to recrew the abandoned Universal Carrier, the vehicle had lost its command ability (both aura and free-recon ability).
@Spacebus:
Perhaps the tool you are using to trigger the 'Abandoned' critical also triggers other things that prevent the bug from occurring (a true Heisenbug!)
This definitely occurs on the wild (100%).
