Fix for enemies not appearing on first spawn?

Tech Support

I've been having an issue in multiple ops where certain enemies that spawn midway through the fight won't show up on my screen until after the first pull. In some cases, this means I cannot do certain mechanics (e.g. killing blue sphere on Op IX) until the second pull. Another common case is not being able to see the Dread Tentacle spawn on Bestia until after the first pull.

This only started happening fairly recently -- about a month ago. Is this a common issue/is there a known fix? In case it is relevant, I typically set my graphics to minimum, to minimize any lag issues. Thanks!

I know other people who have had the same issue. There doesn't seem to be a fix for it and it seems to commonly occur when x-bugged "thing" spawns and it's not in your field of view. (Meaning it's a rendering issue.)

Hmm, that's unfortunate. It's odd that it seems to consistently work after the first pull, though.

I had this happen recently when I was tanking Soa in EV SM. On the final level he came down and disappeared into the floor (I saw it happen). Couldn't see or target him until after the first pylon dropped and his shield re-appeared.

Haven't seen Soa disappear into the floor, but I've definitely seen him "pop" down in sudden movements instead of descending gradually. I've also had the pylon not appear until it was about to fall.
