Since the update I have seen friendly dots on the map in places other than thier true position.
When I log on I look for squad mates, so I use the goto feature then check the map and ask a guy to say something. On the map his dot expands and it shows up at a position usually a full sector away from his true position or it just stays in 1 place.
At other times someone will say they see a enemy darbar in our sector or an enemy dot but I see nothing.
Any others having this problem?

Does this happen only right after you log on?
Because depending on how many players are online, your game has to run a check on every player, his position, his status etc..... quite a lot when 400+ are online.
For me it usually takes half a min or so till the map "settles down". Up untill then, i dont trust ANY radar dot/dar, because they jump HEAVILY!

It happens throughout a session. Whats funny is, most people are right where they are supposed to be, only a few percent are displaced.
Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if this was happening to others.

this has been going on for sometime now

I noticed it a little as far back as AH1 when the MA had over 500 in it. It didn't bother me then because I was not in a squad and my PC did not function well with so many on anyway. Within the last year 600+ on happens often at "prime time" and that's when I see it most often. I think it happens along with the net being at a peak also. Me being on dial-up probably doesn't help either. I've also gotten the impression that certain maps are more prone to this but have not taken notes. It's particularly un-nerving when it's the goon on a long NOE that seems to be stuck at the start base. Have to keep asking for PosReps to keep from draging the fight his/her way.
