Hello, everyone!

New player here (well, fairly new at any rate). I've been playing with some friendos lately, and been having fun supporting their Prowler duo with a Skyguard. Blah blah blah A2A vs A2G vs G2A etc... the point is I've been having fun "deterring" enemy aircraft.

But!

Now I can't spawn the Skyguard. Ever since last night, if I try to spawn it, it doesn't stick me in the tank. Instead, it charges me nanites and leaves me hanging. Now, if I go to the Vehicle Pad, I can see a little icon there for the Lightning, and even run into an "invisible" vehicle (though no one else does). If I press E, I can enter said invisible vehicle, but my regular player character becomes super fast for no reason - nothing else happens.

I haven't tried running around in this bugged "in-non-existent-vehicle" state, since that strikes me as possibly exploitative. At any rate, this happens every time I spawn it, and has several times now. I am not sure what to do, but it's crippling my enjoyment of the game to see e.g. an Air Event and not be able to spawn a Skyguard.

Is there a workaround? I saw this bug happening intermittently to some people - heck, I'd tolerate it (but be disappointed) if mine was only intermittent, but it's ALWAYS! :(

Things I have tested:Spawning them in VR training. Weirdly, the Skyguard turret doesn't spawn, but the vehicle (turretless) does. Entering the vehicle puts your view underneath it, where firing the gun sends you flying hilariously. I don't know why the VR realm behavior is different.

Other lightning turrets can be spawned normally, though the server hesitates for a moment. I tried to spawn a PYTHON AP and had time to get into a gun battle with a foe, win, and then wander off with a sigh before it suddenly teleported me inside the otherwise functional Lightning.

Help!

UPDATE:

I fixed it, by taking the Engagement Radar off, then spawning a Skyguard. Now, I can put the Engagement Radar back on and it seems to be working fine. Weird.

Might be important information for you guys since OP found a way to fix the bug. Possibly a step in replicating it.

Thanks for looking out, I'll add it to the bug report.
