Zeus Remote Control does not work if remote controlled unit is killed in gunner position
Need More Info, NormalPublic

Description

When playing as Zeus, players experience a total loss of control over Remote Controlled units and their own Player unit when a Remote Controlled unit is killed while in a "Gunner" position.

The functionality cannot be restored unless a Mission is completely restarted.

I have listed this Severity as "Major" because such loss can result in abandoning the game mid-mission, whether MP or SP, as the only possible fix.

Steps To Reproduce
  1. As Curator, select a unit to Remote Control in a vehicle with a Gunner position (i.e. Commander of a tank).
  2. If not already Gunner, switch to Gunner position.
  3. Have the Remote Controlled unit die in combat, forcing an exit back to Zeus.
  4. Attempt to Remote Control another unit. Observe unit cannot be controlled, but inventory, ADS, other functions still work.
  5. Exit Zeus and observe you can also not control your own Player unit.

Can you actually reproduce this without mods?
I tried with a prowler gunner, I get kicked back out to zeus after the unit is dead, but I have no problem after that, movement still works fine.

The video shows a helicopter, and I don't know how to remote control into a helicopter gunner? I always get the pilot.

Gunner position (i.e. Commander of a tank).

Commander is not a gunner position. But I also tried sitting in a tank gunner/commander and exploding the whole tank. But then I still have no problem with further remote controls.

Tested in singleplayer, local hosted MP (where I am host and player) and dedicated server.
All the same.

I need a repro that works in vanilla.
