What happens when the bug occurs? Enemies become highlighted with white outline, and continue glowing like that until you move aim reticle from them. Only happens in Arcade with Iden, but looks bad.
What do you expect to see? I expect enemies not to be highlighted like that while aiming at them with Iden, I hope it will return to how it was before and how it is for rest of the troopers/heroes.

Described bug is visible on the following images, enemies start having white outline around them when aiming at them with Iden. This is not a huge issue, but makes experience inconsistent and ruins immersion in Arcade.

Not sure if it was different before, but I made some tests with Kylo, Grievous, and Iden this week and it's clear that these white Outlines are tied to their Frenzy, Thrust Surge, and Stun Droid abilities. When an enemy is outlined white, it means they are in range for these abilities to work.

If these abilities are in cooldown, then the white outlines won't appear until the cooldown ends. So it's just an indicator for these abilities to show when the enemy is in range for them.

This bug is pretty distracting, I avoid playing as Iden in the Arcade because of it. Should be a pretty easy fix too, let's hope they do it.

I thought that she was supposed to do that to make them easier to see and hit, but maybe not.

Nope, this does not happen in multiplayer and didn't in Arcade before the July patch. It can't be a difficult fix

@We_are_demons Now there is even worse kylo reb, Dooku, Grievous and even palpatine has that White outline on enemies but even if you put the option White outline off it stays ON

I hope they fix this but since last year they didn t touch that bug so they will not do it now :/
