DroneDeploy terrain following not working on M3E

Updated DroneDeploy last week and now terrain following doesn't seem to actually work on my M3E. The flight plan shows elevation changes in the preview but the drone flies at a constant AGL based on takeoff point.

Flying over a site with 80ft of elevation change so this is a real problem. Getting terrible GSD variation across the site.

Anyone else seeing this? Is this a known bug?

Known issue with the latest DD update and DJI SDK. They're working on a fix. In the meantime, use DJI Pilot 2 for terrain following - it works natively with the M3E.

Or use Litchi if you want third-party mission planning that actually handles terrain.

Had the same problem. Rolled back to the previous DD version and terrain following works again. v4.142 is the last good version.
