Does anyone else have a problem where periodically names aren't visible in game above someone's head? It seems to be happening a lot lately, so much so that I can't tell who's who in my squad. I was hoping there might be a setting I could adjust to fix it because there are times when I need to revive three people and I'd like to get the squad leader first but I can't tell who's who.

This happened to me with Spiff once and I TK'd him twice in a row at Monorail. I have noticed it, and it is frustrating.

I believe the ALT key toggles the hud markers and names. Try pressing that -- I know that's what I do when I can't find the flag markers to give T-Click orders.

Thanks Z, I'll try that next time it happens.

The ALT key toggles the 3D map (flag markers, etc), it does not toggle the names of friendlies on or off.

I have seen this happen many times. The odd thing about this bug is the players name isn't missing, it can usually be found waiting in the UCB or elsewhere on the map. It is very distracting and highly annoying.

I was playing with an all (or nearly all) TG squad on Belgrade and INSUN's name was MIA. In the dreary environs around Statue we managed to TK him about 5 times because we'd see him pop up from behind cover with his gun pointed at us with no green name over his head. It was pretty frustrating for the poor guy and pretty distracting for the rest of us.

Funny anecdote aside, I think its just a bug and there's no setting to fix it. I seem to recall his name was firmly attached to his head in the next round. It looks like time is the only cure.

So THAT'S why he took off in a huff that night XD

Thanks for gleaning some insight into his virtual aneurysm.

I remember someone saying a possible cause for this. It was something like - dying and being teamswitched in the middle of a round? In any case, it seems to persist for a particular player throughout the round.

I believe it is the left ALT key only......try switching it on and off a couple of times.
