Sniper’s mark disappearing as soon as it’s placed

Hi,

This is my first time posting anywhere on these forums, so I apologize if I’m doing anything wrong/unorthodox.

Last night I noticed that my sniper’s mark is disappearing a split second after it appears above an enemy’s head. I can see a flash of green above their head, then the animation of that green sort of ‘dripping away’ (the animation that occurs if the mark were to be replaced by something, and then a bit later my mark on hit support would try to reapply it, only to have the same thing happen. It disappears so quickly you don’t get to see the symbol appear fully.

I’ve done some troubleshooting of my own, but I’ve had no luck:
- It’s not mark on hit support: this happens when I self cast it too
- It’s not a mama problem: level 1 sniper’s mark and lifetapped level 20 sniper’s mark both have this issue
- It’s not an issue with being somehow affected by other links, because they’re on their own 2-link
- it’s not some strange bug about being socketed specifically in Rakiata’s dance, because they don’t work when socketed in my rare boots either
- Most bizarrely, ITS NOT A PROBLEM WITH ALL MARKS. I tried using alchemist’s mark, just because it also uses a green socket, and it applies and stays on an enemy just fine
- It’s not just a visual after: after taking off my aGMP and returning projectile support, I can see clearly that the mark is not splitting any more projectiles

Anyone ever encountered anything like this before? I’m on Xbox One, and while I noticed it last night (about 10 hours ago), I can’t say when it started. I can’t remember the last time I saw that mark symbol above an enemy, but that doesn’t mean very much.

Thanks in advance!

Are you aware that you can only have 1 enemy at a time Marked?

So if you're hitting a whole bunch of enemies using Mark on Hit, the mark may simply be moving to a different target.

Have you tested on a true single-target situation, like a boss in a boss room with no adds?

Yes, of course I'm aware of that. I tested this in an Enslaver fight. Put on alchemist's mark, he's marked forever. Swap the gem to sniper's mark, it doesn't work. Also tried in a synth boss fight self-casting.

It's not an issue of hitting multiple targets. If it was, I would see the issue with all marks.
