    Control Points and disappearing ads during the defend phase

    This has been happening for a while, but seems to have become more prevalent recently. Certainly before the last update, but not much before.
    Symptoms:
    1. Take a CP, I do them on L4, but I've seen it on lower levels
    2. Call in the reinforcements
    3. Fight up to and including the boss - kill him/her
    4. All ads in the arena are dead, but stay in combat state (music still going, armour bar still depleted)

    There are a couple of different possible resolutions:
    1. You search the area, and find an ad dumbly pointing his gun at a wall, kill him and we're good
    2. Run around the immediate area, kill whatever ads are around, even do an activity, and at some point the CP is declared as clear (I suspect this is a timeout, or the errant ad, stuck in a spawn somewhere just dies)
    3. Having called in the reinforcements before, cleared as described, and waited around a bit, the "call in reinforcements" text appears again, you call them in, fight to the boss, and things usually go well (I suspect this is a timeout also)

    This doesn't seem to affect all CPs, the ones that it DOES occur on frequently are: The Mast, and Metro Ruins.
    THERE IS NO WAY A VIDEO WOULD HELP HERE, I'D ALSO NEED 20-30 MINS OF IT (ME WAITING AROUND FOR 10 MINS), SO DO NOT ASK

    Ubi? Anyone home?
    Had some very annoying examples of similar behaviour over the last few days:
    1. Elite territory control in New York, chungas boss stuck in a brick room at the top, won't come out, immune to fire etc.. Twenty wasted minutes
    2. Elite convoy in DC - fought off 3 waves of ads, all quiet, game telling me about the convoy, showing me the convoy icon, directing me to a spot, nothing there, pulsed to find no enemies - another 20 minutes wasted

    Hey GlennFlatpack! I apologize for the delay. I appreciate you bringing forward all of this information, but I am so sorry to hear that it happened in the first place! Your frustration is completely understandable. Videos can be much more useful than it sometimes appears, so if you have captured any even snippets of this behavior you're experiencing, it would be helpful. I can certainly report this to the team though, and look into similarly reported issues. Do you have any screenshots of the boss stuck in the brick room at the top from your example 1 in second post?

    Anyone who plays the game will experience these problems pretty quickly. I started a thread on it on Reddit last week and got quite a lot of responses
