DNA and Camera

I think using the Camera/Eyeballery obscures DNA

I used the camera one one street, spied the DNA down the street, raced to its location & it was gone! but the sound was still going...tried the camera again & it was still gone! - left the street, returned and the DNA was there.
To test it out - I tried it again. And was able to reproduce it. My glitch was out of frame and used Esc to escape camera mode.
On my last DNA, I found it without using the camera, but this time got very close to it...in frame...and snapped a pic with my last DNA (a memento hang in my cottage.) This time, after exiting camera mode the DNA was still there. My glitch was in frame and I used the C to escape.

Noticed on Global that some other folks were not finding their DNA (but heard the sound) and suspect they may be seeing something similar...
:D suspect we should not be able to see the DNA using the Camera view but the hiding code is askew.

What do you think? Have you had this happen to you while searching?

  • If this is happening it's not consistent.  I used eyeballery to find a DNA fragment a couple days ago and it was visible in normal mode after I exited camera mode.  I don't have the snapshotting skill or a camera if that makes a difference.

  • I've not been able to reproduce this like that, but if some folks see this before they get to all of them, please open a bug report from the browser, so we can get an error report in the game. (The error report will give us some technical information along with the description you add.)
