As the post title suggests I appear to be unable to lock up targets with my missiles at the moment. It was working grand a few days ago but last night & today my ship just refused to lock on despite being fully stocked. I even switched the stock missiles out for other ones to see if it would help but alas nothing changed.
Any ideas as to what the deal could be or has anyone had similar experiences?
Thanks!

In my Titan sometimes I have to press the lock button several times to get a lock. And then to actually fire missiles I have to fire countermeasures first or they'll never launch lol.
Judging by boxes falling through ships after just working DURING THE SAME SESSION... I believe servers are having a very tough time staying synced. So the game has a tough time determining their position.
Ya my boxes were disappearing too in the Titan. Now they are spawning on my bed. With no mission.
I think they have mentioned they are pretty much at their limit of what they can Introduce without server side OCS. Hopefully makes a big difference.
I believe that it is a pretty well-documented issue. I can certainly confirm that I've seen it personally. I'm sure it is on the fix-list.
Rebind your lock/launch key to two separate keys. I haven't had much issues locking/launching after rebind my keys to two separate ones.
Hey man Im having the same problem. Have you found a fix?
Afraid not man, I haven’t played the new version. Sometimes I found that scanning targets first helped but it was so inconsistent that it was hard to tell if that was actually helping :| they really need to fix that shit because it’s nerfing the fuck outta my 325
Ok so no consistent workaround.
My friends all have no issue which upsets me as well.
And I know. This "Nerf" sucks.
Aye same with mine dude
This bug has crept up on 3.6.1 but there is a workaround. As you get closer to enemy ,scan them [Tab and hold Left mouse] You will be able to lock and fire missiles after the scan. Its not the greatest workaround but it works. The other bug which contributes to this is rearm is not resupplying missiles for some ships atm. If you do have missiles the above workaround works 100%.
I’ll give that a shot next time round, thanks man!
