GhostEngineer12 6 years ago Hi, today i started up my game and for whatever reason i can no longer see units/buildings(i can still see their icons), i verified the integrity of game cashe and reinstalled already. Both yielded no result. I can still see footsteps/particle effects and terrain deformation(craters/terraforms). Also, queued up buildings show up when selecting the unit it is queued to or when holding the shift key. pictures: https://imgur.com/a/X3UwG77 Any help is obviously appreciated. +1 / -0
Firepluk 6 years ago What's your hardware(cpu, gpu)? try to find infolog.txt from game folder and post it somewhere... (right after you experience this bug) +0 / -0
GhostEngineer12 6 years ago Hardware: CPU: Intel i7-4820k @ 3.7 GHz GPU: AMD R9 290x 4GB RAM: 16 Gb DDR3 Os: Windows 8.1 and pastebin link to my infolog: https://pastebin.com/eUB0c5EX note: Changing in-game graphics settings seems to have no effect on bug. +0 / -0
Firepluk 6 years ago (edited 6 years ago) I don't see any obvious issues in this infolog, probably GoogleFrog could provide more insight on this... I just know one thing - zk always used to have certain issues/glitches with AMD GPUs, so your best bet would be 1) check if u are using latest gpu drivers 2) try to turn ATI/Intel Compatibility mode in the Settings/Graphics to On +0 / -0
lamer 6 years ago (edited 6 years ago) A guess: go to in-game menu (F10) -> Untick "Simple settings" -> go to "Settings/Graphics/Unit Visibility" -> check your "Draw distance" and "Icon distance" values. If "Icon distance" is too low (~0) it will always draw icons instead of models. Mine values for example: Draw distance = 500 Icon distance = 150 +3 / -0
GhostEngineer12 6 years ago GPU drivers are up to date, and bug occurs on all ATI/Intel compatibility mode settings(on/automatic/off). It may possible be related to the "Server command buffering" patch. For it did not occur before said patch. I don't know how it would. But that patch is the only thing that i can imagine/remember having changed between the game being perfectly fine and the issue i am currently experiencing. +0 / -0
ivand 6 years ago Most likely it's what lamer said. Basically game draws icons instead of models due to very low icondistance. You can also type in the game's chat /disticon 120 +0 / -0
GhostEngineer12 6 years ago YES! Lamer is correct, For whatever reason my icon distance was set to 0. Having changed the draw/icon distance values has fixed it. Thank you all for the help, now i can go back to getting my ass kicked :P +3 / -0
