Graphic Problem

I've got two problems, ableit quite minor. May have already been posted, but couldn't find any that matched this exactly so I figured I'd post anyways.

1) US ships don't show when they are attacked by enemy air. The game runs fine and says if there's hits, etc. but no graphics. Jap side works fine.

2) When an air attack occurs on a land hex, all the US TF markers then show until the playback is complete. For example, 3 B-17's attack a TF at Buna, after the resolution, the hex suddenly shows a US sub, transport, Surface, Air, etc. type TF markers in that hex even though they are not there.

Like I said, not huge, but irrititating. Thanks,

Brett

I've seen this one as well. Though slightly different then what you report. When a jap amphib assault takes a base, it reverts to japanese flag and there's suddenly a TF or multiple TF icon on the hex... strangely enough, nothing was there... Then when my turn comes up, it's of course blank..

Like you, it's VERY minor, but worthy of note.

Which scenario(s) ?

I'm playing the big one Marc. The full war as the allies. Its so minor I didn't notice it at first, but it's common for bases that have water. An allied TF icon appears when it's taken as though there was some shipping there... Then next turn it's gone. Took it as a FOW thing of some sort, but its still odd to see, ESPECIALLY when you know there's no shipping there.

So far just the Coal sea one. I haven't tried others. Now that I've looked at it, it's just when a jap amphib assault takes a base. I was mistaken about the air attack part. I haven't been able to play for a few days and my memory slipped me. Thank you for the catch 2stepper. It turns out fine after the turn resolution, but occasionally gets me excited that I have TF's in the same hex as thier amphibs.

tanker, your problem is specifically addressed by the patch. Please install it.

The blank ships is because the ship info in the database doesn't line up with the file names of the ship artwork.

If you have patched, please report the EXACT scenario # and the names of the ships that were in the TF so we can check the actual scenario files.

Hmm, I've downloaded the patch and installed it. I did that first and then the registration thing like I read on the forums. Since not too many people are reporting it though, there's a good chance I messed up somewhere so I'll try it again. Thanks for the reply.
