@OKaysional  Thanks, I just tested this myself and it's not working the same on PC either. 

[OKaysional]

Seems to only happen when not the jumpmaster. When playing as jump master it works as intended like before the patch

[EA_David]

I did notice that myself when I got some games in after work.

I think the line from the Known Issues list addresses this. 

Mirage clones sometimes appearing behind the player and die prematurely.

‌

Kept noticing my copies on the initial jump were disappearing.. turns out they're going the wrong direction.  noticed it one match, tested the next match as jumpmaster, they behaved normally. 2 additional attempts after that, not as jumpmaster, the copies flew in an entirely different direction from the one I was facing.

Vid of it happening, they fade quickly out of range.

‌

Anyone else noticed that Mirage decoys used when you drop from dropship, shoot of in weird directions, not were you are "aiming"?

[EA_David]

I noticed this myself when I checked, thanks for the post.

@Shockr88TV 

Thanks for the report! I suppose the bright side out of this is that they went in a different direction than where you were dropping.

What happens when the bug occurs? Ill be dropping from jumpship and I've been using mirage since the start. Paid for him and it was my best decision. Lately everytime i jump and use the decoys to spoke the enemies they would go backwards or right. Any people say they can even see it. This started happening after the recent update
What should be happening instead? It should be controlled and visible
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Maybe set up a random account and try pit mirage. Im not sure if it happens to anyone else. But I expect that i never see any other decoys while jumping it might.

This doesn't effect my gameplay just would be nice to have it fixed.

When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) occurred after the update just before season 2 started

How severe is your issue? Minor impact to gameplay
What happens when the bug occurs? while deploying decoys they shoot off in random direction, usually straight out to sea.
What should be happening instead? they should shoot off in the direction the view is pointing (towards cursor/aim dot)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? This bug is only present as follows: you must pick Mirage, you must NOT be the jump master (but still part of the group). In this situation the decoys shoot off randomly. However, If you ARE jump master OR separate from the group (essentially becoming jump master) then the decoys shoot off in the aimed direction. The problem lies in the code for Mirage ONLY when following the jump master.

‌

This should be more than adequate to ascertain the location of the erroneous code.
