Dead Tanks that are not Dead

Support and Bug Reports
1

I have had this happen a couple times recently. It has only happened when there are two tanks in a fight with multiple people.

What happens is one of the tanks will die normal, big boom, collapse, and then burning and loot. The second tank to die, from the position of the game host, dies the same way. However, from the POV of the guests, it does not die. It, sort of, sits down or lays down slowly, without blowing up. Then, it is still alive but not active.

It does not happen to the host, only to the guests. If I am hosting a game, no problems. Those who I have invited see the problem. However, when I am a guest, this happens.

The host can loot normally, but the guest will see a live tank complete with lights and sounds, but that is immobile. It cannot be looted, and “knows” you are there because the white HUD awareness sensor will be full and track to the tank. It never turns yellow or red.

Anyone else seeing this? I know a couple other players have when I have been hosting.

I recall encountering this when playing with some strangers on PS4. I killed a tank in front of the other player and he was still screaming at me ‘kill it!!’
I insisted it was dead but he thought I was fibbing, so he kept shooting it. I didn’t know what he saw but I feel like it was probably this bug.

On PC when I joined a mate, one of the tanks still made all sounds and were unlootable, while it were dead and lootable for him. Never happened as host/alone.

(Also at times some Runners don’t show up on the IR scope when dead, or rather half of them show up as ‘cold objects’ instead of as how they usually look in IR when alive/dead)
