    Some time ago, the pet enemy locator was fixed so that it would locate freshly spawned aliens. This fix seems to have gone away. Yesterday, during the icy event, I would see the on-screen message that an icy had spawned, but the pet was not aware of it. The drop down list of aliens to locate did not include the icy. If I stowed the pet and relaunched it, it would show the icy on the list.

    Could this fix be put back please?

    True - putting away the pet and relaunching it makes the pet aware of the new alien. My point was that they "fixed" this some time ago, and the "fix" seems to have stopped working. To quote the December patch notes:

    · The Enemy Locator Gear now updates its NPC list in real time and, thus, considers recently spawned NPCs too.

    This functionality *did* work - then. And does not work now. :(
