Sensors (sight range) on mini-map

posted on July 21st, 2009, 1:05 pm

Is this look of the mini-map normal? Im missing the sight range of the ship, maybe a highlighted circle around the ship. Its very annoying when you dont see it on the map.


"fog of war" and "shroud" is on

Your graphics detail (the slider) needs to be set to the highest. Otherwise the minimap shows up like that. It will still work as normal (displaying enemy ships when in sensor range), you just won't see the fog or shroud

Thx.

But now i play with 9 frames per second. I think i need a new system.

I had the same problem. I just turn the fog and shroud off when I set up a game. A patch for this would be really nice though.

Yha a patch would be nice, although my computer can handle it, whenever my friends want to play we turn the shroud and fog off cause their laptops cant handle the highest setting... It's kinda funny when I wipe out an expansion they forgot I could see..... ( evil laugh )

yes, this is a known issue. this can be either fixed by setting graphic details to maximum or alternatively replacing the graphic from which the fog/shroud is generated. should be no problem for multiplayer either as graphics are not included in the crc check
