Your not A Lone i have seen this 2 on planets but not only with drones but with Pol Faction ships in a No Mining Sector to hand in 50 Fuel Cells missions i was just sitting there having a smoke as i watched one of there C.V fly past Witch all so had a fue Survey drones flying past and they all Vanished for like 10 to 15 Secs and then Re spawned back to where they Originally where. this was all so on a Dedicated server hosted by G portal and ill not say name of server butt i check all logs and such and i found no errors and all working normal.

no Probs on G-Portal with this

I have a problem too with the bomber drones attacking my base, and I'm in single player unmodified RE1.9. Other drones are fine.

I am also on a G-Portal server, as i had massive trouble to get the mod running on Nitrado - that was like 2-3 years ago though. So no clue, things seem to have changed in the meantime. But i was still going with the G-Portal one.

Runs absolutely fine otherwise. Just those drones are weird. They shoot.. disappear.. shoot some more... spawn close to ground... hop up into the air suddenly. We just started a new round, so it is super obvious, with those little weak weapons you have in the beginning.

I sometimes feel like it may be related to player deaths, as they have been killing us a lot with this weird hopping around.

Once we had some vehicles and could should them down with miniguns, things seem to have improved some.

So really hard to tell what it may be. For now it appears ok again. But the initial time was made a lot harder with this weird behaviour.

We played several rounds before, same hoster, never had issues. This is why i was wondering if i maybe missed out on an option or configuration switch this time.

Similar issue fighting in space against interdictors, etc. They disappear and reappear with full health. I have shot one 150 times with my CV - it disappears every 5 seconds or so and reappears a few meters away at full health.
