This is a new "official" support thread for reporting graphics glitches in the Campaign Series.
Below are some examples of the graphics glitches we want reported.
These first examples are from Modern Wars Vietnam, still very much a work in progress. (So don't conclude anything about the current state of Modern Wars from this, much less about the eventual final product. I regret that I don't have any Campaign Series examples to start this thread off.)
In the first image following, do you see the gear-like "sprockets" fanning out from the water hexes? (I don't recall exactly, but I believe they first appeared after an earlier air attack.)
Do you see the occasional gaps in the road? To the southeast of the "Route 602" label, also to the northwest of the "Thanh Hoi" label.
Next image below, more or less the same scene, but the reverse, after pressing the R key.
If you look closely, you can see the gap in the road near the bottom of the screenshot.
See the beige flecks in the shallow water hexes? They are not there in the reverse map display.
If you look real closely, you will also see beige-colored "tracers" shooting out to the "northeast" of the coastal objective hex. Where did they come from? I don't recall any firing to or from that hex in that direction.
What don't you see? Where are the "sprockets" in the reverse (R key) image? Mysteriously, they are gone. But just as mysteriously, they reappear when I reverse the map image. And in that reverse map image, the "sprockets" persist, turn after turn.
One more example.
Do you see the dark blue bars in the shallow water hexes near the coast? I can't reproduce it, but earlier in my game I saw thin beige-colored borders on the "south" side of all deep water hexes. They showed at mid zoom, IIRC, but not at the other zoom levels.
These graphics glitches come and go. We've probably all seen them over the years, maybe just shrugged our shoulders over them. But now maybe we can do something about them. (See my Berto's Squad Battles 2D Graphics Mod.)
No: no maybe. We can't promise perfection. But we will try to clean up as many of these glitches as we can.
So, as you play the Campaign Series, if you see something odd graphically, please post it here in this thread. A picture is worth a thousand words, so images are by far the best.
The more glitches reported, the more brought to our attention, the more of them will be fixed.
