Minesweeper can't detect mines (VetReinforce)

This works exactly like the VetReinforce bug. It seems that engineer squad reinforcements are unable to detect mines, even if the squad had been previously upgraded with a minesweeper. I am guessing this is one of the upgrades/veterancy issues that have cropped up post Feb 26.

Conveniently, the engineers will keep carrying the minesweeper around, but the effect is purely cosmetic.

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

I have also experienced this bug now in several games. I'm not able to detect mines, think it's fine and roll a tank over it and explode. I thought maybe I wasn't looking but I was standing ontop of a minefield that was freshly laid and I could not see it... I was using brit sweepers.

It looks more conected to the "we make mines unable to be seen by radio interception"

No, it's a VetReinforce-related bug. I even went to Cheatcommands mod to reproduce/verify it.

Which Squad are you using and what kind of Mines are you trying to detect? Unable to repro this issue.

Thanks

That was Royal Enginers (UKF) trying to detect S-mines (OST).

I did notice that some issued coming from the Cheat Mod was giving false positives. Looks fixed on the Hot fix build.

Thanks

Great to hear that it's fixed!

I first noticed the bug in-the-wild (in an 1vs1 game where my minesweeper-upgraded engineers could not detect and S-mine field and died). Then I reproduced the issue in cheat-mod to verify my suspicion. (I built an S-mine field, and then changed the allegiance of the mines to enemy).
