    Sometimes i have a strange problem i only see parts of the infantry model.
    I dont find a reasond why.

    It only happens on my crappy pc where i study not on the other good one
    at home so i guess its has to do with medium grafik adjustment.

    Can you see the brenodi engineer on that picture?

    heh, never happens to me , but I'm using high details thought.

    Does that apply to scouts too? Pretty crappy for you to have half models which are almost invinsible..

    happens to me too! I think it has to do with memory..
    how much ram does your pc have? (mine 1GB with 550MB eaten up by vista)

    Xp with 512 and it only appears sometimes. Like once all 5 maps and irregularly.

    Its not so bad because a floating face draws more attention than a man ^^.

    This used to happen when an invisible scout would touch a teammate, but I thought that bug was quashed

    It's really awkward to walk in the open and suddenly get shot by someone standing in front of you and then they "appear" out of thin air.

    That's our problem then.. Some maps take considerately more memory than others..

    It seems like its only occur in a "window". The bug "happens" and if you turn
    arround than you can see that it is only a spot about 10 centimeters in diameter.
    If the infantry moves out of this "cube" they turn to normal.

    I never had this bug, even with my old PC (512 MB RAM), not even when one of the RAM modules broke and I only had 256 MB (Empires was no fun with that)

    Sounds like some packet loss + Krenzo's patented Buttsechs Incorporated-code, which makes the guy appears out of thin air.

    Aww nvm his awesome code got removed due to overhead lag :(

    It doesn't have anything common with graphics. It's the Krenzo's optimization for networking. Some informations about players/models aren't sent to client if (according to server code) he can't see them. This didn't happen at all before optimization phase also there were bigger problems with it and most of them were solved.

    If you want to help then precisely explain what do you have to do (step by step) to reproduce it.

    Alright. Now I understand it, thanks MOOtant but it is very hard to reproduce because it happens so randomly (at least currently it seems so) so it is hard to say what to do.

    Edit: Take a look:

    This game is HAUNTED!!! Invisible things everywhere.

    You should just report it in the tracker and wait. You have some time to make a good demo showing some cases. ;P (I hope that bot_add works in normal build)

    I think that Krenzo won't try to fix any non-critical bugs in Empires 2.1 branch and you have to wait for new version based on Orange Box SDK for any fixes.

    MOOtant.

    Have you checked my signature or custom rank lately?

    I have reported it like weeks and weeks ago but because it is very very hard to reproduce at that time when you want it, it is very very hard to fix too.

    And those pictures are at least one month old.
