I've had prospectors phase through asteroids too.
Pulse Wave scanner issues after update 12

Yes, there are fake glowing too.
Guys, I figured out a workaround, tested twice in a same ring and worked twice:
1, go to the ring, the PWA will show you fake glowing and only the core glows.
2, log off, close the game, start the game (launcher is okay), log in again
3, you are in the same ring, and the PWA is working as before Update 12. Unfortunately, the last chunk missing and the deposits stays active with 0% hull.
Can you confirm it?

Nope, cannot confirm, still bugged. And it's one nasty bug
I didnt relog
After the earlier test i logged off in the ring.
Then later on i logged back in the ring and everything looked nice - lots of lit asteroids and all of them had surface or subsurface deposits
But i moved away from the drop in point and no more good asteroids. Whatever yellow asteroids the PWA revealed, they were only fakes.
So i guess if we move like 30-50 km (maybe more, i didnt had a reference point) from the drop off, there are no more surface/subsurface asteroids, only fakes
Edit:
To conclude - after moving away from the drop off point in the ring (no idea, but i'd estimate at least 30-50km), the PWA will reveal only the cores, no more surface or subsurface asteroids
That's a really nasty bug

Yes. I exactly observed the same today. First thought was the issue has been somehow fixed...but then...nooooooo
Yes, it is still a nasty bug, but it is a workaround, and it is a good workaround to mine for me, I'm currently happy with it, because I need fuel to my FC.
you need to relog after cleaning up the area you drop in....
anyway, the issue tracker can be voted

I played around the issue, 20-22 km is usually the limit of the PWA bug from the drop off point, but the log out and log in again process does the magic, no necessary restart the whole game.
Ok, one more thing.
I prospected some asteroids around one that had the yellow reflections - and luckily i managed to find the source - it was an asteroid that had a surface deposit, but the PWA was not highlight it.
So, obviously, the surface and subsurface asteroids are still there, but the PWA does not highlight them.
Reflections can be used to spot them, but it's literally a hit and miss thing

This works out there in the black, but in the bubble each relog will bring in the pirates
Oh, yes, I nearly forgot them... I've been far from the civilization too long...This works out there in the black, but in the bubble each relog will bring in the pirates
The related report on the issue tracker has reached vote status finally!
Have seen this myself. PWS highlights, which were always too inconsistent for my tastes, seem to have become even more haphazard. The lighting effect is applied erratically, it clips in and out, and it can disappear as you near asteroids.
Can confirm first two when I was mining recently. Don't remember well enough about the third but I think I noticed it also.

Great post...yes, this is exactly what I'm experiencing.
You mentioned that moving away from the drop in point may be a cause or a trigger for this bug. Could it be a time and degradation bug? i.e. it starts fine and then over time the bug gets progressively worse. That has been known to happen in ED though I'm struggling to remember the specific bug...there have been so many.
Also I'd love to upvote the ticket but I think I mentioned, the issue tracker won't let me

I think the issue manifests beyond what would be a normal instance radius, something like 20-25km.
I didnt noticed a degradation, just a cut.
Ahh, ok.
I'll have to go back into the rings and pay more attention to the point at which the issue starts
Voted!
I've just voted on the issue tracker too - have exactly this issue, It's wrecking mining!
Er Guys...
I updated my nVidia drivers and now this problem has gone away. I am now back to normal.
Anyone else?

Thanks for the heads up...I'll check my drivers and update if needed.
