    Contamination events are messed up.

    Hello all, I noticed a new issue yesterday and it also happened again today, just now. Yesterday, after a contamination event ended, the area still remained highly contaminated and I couldn't enter it. It kept telling me filter failure even though the contaminated event wasn't active. Today same thing, contamination event happens, I clear the first part, no information was given on how many out of 6 were killed, I tried running to do the other section but no enemies had spawned. I kept going in circles trying to find them but nothing, the zone kept being contaminated. When the timer run out I went to clear the normal boss but I couldn't enter, it kept saying Filter 6 required although no contamination event was active. This has only happened in the last 2 days which tells me something went fubar in the last maintenance or something else is wrong. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me? Thanks for any help you might provide.

    I had this also a few time before. No event was showing but the contamination was deadly.

    This hits me every now and then in DZ 09. Heck, sometimes I wander in long after someone else has cleared it out, and it's still deadly.

    Thanks for the videos. If you guys have any more to share on the issue, please do. Can anyone confirm this occurs on any one platform? I'll have the team investigate the contamination events asap.

    PS4 has had this issue maybe like back in a 1.7 days already. I have witnessed, that in some servers the filter level is always 9. I think this error is like server specific, because if i got transitioned to another server, then suddenly all was fine. Have not seen this happen for a long time however.

    However, we still have issues in some servers with certain landmarks. Opera, Armory had issues of not respawning NPCs at all, while The Deck had one NPC stuck inside the wall, like that long LMB in DZ06 extraction zone once. Times Square mission has problem with stuck enemies too, especially annoying when you don´t get to fight the named enemy at the end sometimes.

    This kind of stuff only happens on select servers (except Times Square stuff) by the way. Too bad there is no way to identify which server you are in, so we could report it by specific server.

    Xbox One, here. Contamination can be stuck at 6, at 5, and once it was 9 and pretty much killed me in the time it took for me to realize 'hey, this area is contaminated still'.
