Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1747	Posted - 2013.11.18 16:12:00 - [1] - Quote Anyone else having issues with their remotes not triggering when L1 is pressed? I'm finding I have to hit L1 two to three times before they finally activate as of late. I'll still get the animation of me hitting the button but nothing happens. Sometimes if I throw down multiple remotes I can see their icons pop up (which I've always assumed is their arm indicator) and when I do trigger only some of them will blow and I have to hit L1 again for the rest to blow. This has only been happening for a few days now. Just poking around to see if anyone else has been getting this or it's just latency messing with me. Youtuber.

RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 462	Posted - 2013.11.18 18:46:00 - [3] - Quote That would explain my remote still on my weird spot after I blew the other one up. I was wondering if someone copied my spot. Do you only notice it after you try to detonate it directly?
Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1753	Posted - 2013.11.18 23:14:00 - [4] - Quote Detonate directly? Not sure if I understand. Like when they're in view? It's happened at lots of ranges so far if thats what you mean. I'll try to detonate from the other side of the map then go back and vuala. They're still there. Youtuber.

RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 462	Posted - 2013.11.18 23:24:00 - [5] - Quote You mentioned something about icons popping up so I thought you only noticed this problem right after you dropped a RE down, but it seems that's not the case. Anyway I noticed this too.
Fiddler Galaine Northwind Alliance Dark Taboo 49	Posted - 2013.11.19 00:06:00 - [6] - Quote Yeah, it happens sometimes. Doesn't matter the range, just when I try to switch to it quickly. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's been blown up already (at an objective).
Ghosts Chance Inf4m0us 145	Posted - 2013.11.19 01:08:00 - [7] - Quote this is caused by the same glitch that makes all equipment unusable, itsnot remote specific. its the quick swapping glitch.
Niccolo deLuce RETR0 PR0 GAMERS 38	Posted - 2013.11.19 10:11:00 - [8] - Quote Since I've started using them again this past month 100% of the time I have to detonate them twice to set them off.

Soooo my fingers are too quick for dust? :( in essence yes but with the way people are talking about the issue there may be a secondary bug causing something similar aka 2 seperate bugs causing it. sooo keep digging we may find something useful.

I can confirm a secondary bug, though I don't know what it is. I still get a delay/failure to detonate even if I have not switched from RE. I set a lot of trapsGÇª a whole lot of traps, and use my passive radar and visual to get people in unsuspected areas. I have laid down a RE and waited patiently for lengths of time without switching from RE, only to have a detonation fail or lag. Also may be unrelated but RE that have detonated still show up on the spawn map. I am apparently not the only fool
Cass Caul 352	Posted - 2013.11.19 17:41:00 - [13] - Quote On Fractured Road Skirmish, I placed a remote explosive over at [A], then I placed a second at [A], then I ran away because people were coming. I pressed the button to detonate and nothing happened. Then I furiously kept hitting the button and got 2 kills. I went over to [A] again, and I find my initially placed RE still there. Only the second had detonated. I thought it might have been the spot, but then the same group of kids came and tried to take the point again, this time I started tapping the detonate button over and onver again and that first RE finally blew up- getting me another 2 kills. Yeah, something here is messed up. +Éß¦ëddGêÇ -çou -Äll+É-çoGö¦ A girl, on the internet?! I roll to disbelieve.
RKKR The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 466	Posted - 2013.11.22 22:27:00 - [14] - Quote After more usage, I can confirm that it's a terrible bug making the REs useless in times of need

CCP Delamorui Eddy C C P C C P Alliance 14	Posted - 2013.11.26 02:41:00 - [15] - Quote Hi, thank you for contacting us. Do you have some ideas on how to reproduce this issue? Dev Team have tried several times but was not able to reproduce it successfully. If you could provide a video or detailed reproduction steps, It would definitely help us chase this issue quicker! But we are still investigating internally as well. Thank you.

Cyrius Li-Moody The New Age Outlaws WINMATAR. 1831	Posted - 2013.11.26 02:57:00 - [16] - Quote I have this on video a few times. I really just throw a remote. Every now and again it won't trigger. I just uploaded a video that it happens a few times in. I'll scrub through it and give you time markers for when it does happen. Youtuber. Your friendly neighborhood whiskey-fueled merc.

I placed some remotes down this one time, and died. When I respawned and tried to trigger them, they wouldn't blow. I think you should try that.
Garth Mandra The Southern Legion The Umbra Combine 231	Posted - 2013.11.26 07:59:00 - [18] - Quote Remember that remotes take a little time to arm themselves. Also keep lag in mind. This can be tested by just triggering the RE once and waiting rather than spamming the trigger.

It happens when the remote is placed down several minutes already, I recently had a game where the enemy and I were dropping REs and there were a lot of objective-flipping going on. One occasion my RE didn't detonate while the enemies squad was rehacking an objective, I went to the point to take a look...the RE was still there, I got killed. A red dot shot my RE (thank you) so I still got some kills out of it after a couple of seconds I died. I didn't even took out the enemies REs and hack points, walking away alive and I'm pretty sure that the player who was using the RE was capable enough to notice and blew me up on those occasions. You also have no idea if they got blown up or not so it's just second guessing to detonate again or not/walk all back to the objective or not.

Medic 1879 Forsaken Immortals Top Men. 1282	Posted - 2013.11.27 18:09:00 - [21] - Quote I see this quite often and it is very annoying, I have also recently seen a few cases where my RE does detonate but does 0 damage to the enemy next to it (happens most often on null cannon points that have the shields round.). I assumed people we destroying my RE's allot more than usual till I dropped one on a point and moved on but only got about 20m away from the point before someone moved in for the hack, I stayed in visual range and could see my RE on the floor and the enemy went and stood on top of it I detonated the explosion happened and they guy starts hacking blissfully unaware of the explosion that occured a few millimeters from his foot because it did ) damage to him. Anyone else seen that as well? TEST signature please help me think of a better one.

Anyone else seen that as well? Mmmmh I think I might recall an instance were some blueberry popped and I survived but I'm not sure if that was a remote. Could it be related to the thing where you can shoot a red without damaging him when he is inside the null cannon shields when you shoot close to the inner walls? I'l try to see if it happens on my end.

There seems to be some delay when you first switch to them, sometimes they don't even appear in your hand until seconds later. Then you have to place them down and wait a couple more seconds just for them to register being there and hope they work when you need them. I would say just try switching weapons back and fourth and then go to the remote explosives and try to place them. Been a number of times after I placed the explosive after being in a frantic fight and they don't work unless I hit detonate multiple times. Level 5 Proficiency in basket weaving.
