I’ll try, but since posting this I’ve only seen it happen to someone else. Actually assumed it got hotfixed as this was very close to when everything got switched to not the event.
I did not receive the weekly chaos waste reward after complete the mission.And I cant post a topic as well.
You sure you checked Saltz’s illusions?
Just updating to say I haven’t seen the Bomb bug since the day or two I made the report.
Have you @Max93 ?
Sadly this bug havent happened to me for a while, but my mate as RV with level 30 bomb talent had it happened today when we played together.
Nvm I just had it happen again, but wasn’t recording.

Hey, chiming in on this, saw it happen today as well with pretty clear view and got the log alongside it, hope it helps and gets this thread sorted.

From what it looks like to me is that I as a client just couldn’t see the explosion and the bomb marker followed a ghost bomb through the floor, but clearly the bomb exploded if you look at the killfeed/enemies closely. It’s a visual bug perhaps or something? The bomb hit a shield from what it looks like and afaik the bomb effect gets reduced and all that when doing so, might be related to that?

@Foctopus haha np, it’s much appreciated! I’ve passed the info, video and log on to our QA team to investigate. Thanks!

Hey, an update:
Doesn’t seem to be related to hitting a shield from the new instances I ran into and the bombs actually don’t explode at all if they’re thrown by a client (at least I think so) or the explosion is extremely reduced both in AoE and in damage, that’s an answer for the QA team lul.
I am not sure if the feeling that it happens way more often to engineers no matter if host/client running the both effects for bombs is because it is so, or if it’s just engineers throwing 10x more bombs in general than everyone else combined.
If host engi throws a bomb and it bugs out, it explodes but doesn’t do the fire dot and neither leaves the burning ground around afterwards. It’s not even just invisible like with the first post, the enemies are completely fine in the area.
I think I have seen 3 different scenarios if my memory serves proper, I’ll try to post it whenever I get the chance to, don’t have Access to my pc for a while.

Thanks for the added info! Our developers and QA team have looked into this one, and they suspect it’s a result of desync between two clients, which if the case isn’t something we’d be able to do much about unfortunately, as it’s quite normal if there’s a bad connection.

Glad to have you back and hope you enjoyed your time! Got back home myself earlier today as well.
Posting these as I mentioned I would, the other 2 recordings were corrupted sadly.
That’s very unfortunate to hear, but thanks for the effort nonetheless.

Thanks! It was a good recharge 
I’ve passed these recordings along also for discussion. It’s unfortunate if it’s down to client desync without a clear fix, but we have agreed that it’s unusual for the effect not to show up - so we’ll do a little more digging just in case!
yeah it seems not to be a client issue alone, because i had it several times that there is no explosion, no effect etc, the bomb just travels and disappears where it should have been exploded. Excatly like in the second clip of @Foctopus. It was like this also during the summer when i have posted it the last time.
