XBOX Drone medic mod heals do not heal in 2.4 Xbox

XBOX

PROBLEM:
On the Xbox ever since the latest patch (2.4) my Drones heals do not heal me.

WHAT HAPPENS:
My drone (level 2) has the medical mod and 5 medical kits in it's inventory. When my health drops low enough, it will say it's healing line (I'm not only pretty... blah blah) and cast the heal on me triggering the red circle effects on my and it will use one of the medical kits - BUT... No heal is applied to me!
Because I'm not being healed, after the cooldown, my drone will once again try to heal me (and use another medical kit from it's inventory) - but again - I'm not receiving the healing (maybe it's checking my health, but applying heal to itself?)

WHAT I HAVE TRIED:
I have tried to exit the game and reload it. Same problem.
I have tried to remove all items from it's inventory - and then it will say something like (I don't have any medical kits, so I can't heal you).
I have tried to remove the heal mod and replace it with a cargo mod and then replace the medic mod back. Same problem.
I have found an upgrade (a level 5 drone) - and with medic mod and 2 cargo mods and 5 medical kits in it's inventory. Same problem.

I first noticed this on my Level 2 Drone, which only had the heal mod on it, and then it had 5 medical kits in its first slot (locked). When clearing a tier 5 POI I usually rely on my drone to heal me (as I'm still at a level where things get crazy and I don't have time to heal myself).

Eventually it will just run out of medical kits - though I usually stop it after 2 uses and remove the medical kits (why waste them).

I hope this gets fixed fast - since at lower high levels, when you first get the drone, the med mod is one of the best mods in the game until you get high enough level to be able to dodge most damage due to skills and armor - and after that it's kinda useless and nothing but cargo mods are cool

I've heard of this and have been attempting to reproduce it to no avail, but maybe the slot locking is the trigger. Will play with that

I am having the same issue on the Windows version of the game since the last patch

Same issue on steamdeck

Is there any news about this problem? I'm still having it and its frustrating

So far the only way I've been able to reproduce this is when the drone tries to heal you and there is some object blocking your way, it could be really small. For example, some spikes:


This results in a failed healing. Already being investigated into fixing though.

If anyone here has a case of this where the drone has a clean line of sight with nothing blocking or even anything between you and the drone, I'd be curious though. There's a fix for the medic mod bug where it wipes inventory in the works too

This is not the case for me. It does not matter where I am what I am doing the Medic Mod will not heal me. I was on a Buried Supply mission with the drone right behind me backing away from Zombies in the Open and it used all of the heals in it's inventory but never healed me. Another case I was in my main HQ and zombies broke through my wall. This was the first time I encountered the problem. Again the Drone was right at my back and no healing was given

I noticed that bug too while playing on a dedicated server.
I also was able to easily recreate it. I am using the Linux version of the game if that is important.

Apart from the natural generation I don't see any effect from the drone healing me.

Thanks. Hmm. I'll have some plays with that situation. Nah OS doesn't matter in this case ^^

Okay, lots of discrepancies with the state it's in. For now, hold off on that healing mod until we port fixes over to public for it. Thanks for the info!
