I've read of this problem before but, do not remember what the cause was, or how to fix it. Someone will be along shortly who remembers.

as in, they hold up their hands but nothing is in them?

I suppose you could try one of the binoculars mods and see if their version of the binocs displays properly.

Here's one (http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads.php?do=file&id=1239) to get you started.

Heh - I've been playing for months and never realized they were supposed to have binoculars -- I thought they were just shading their eyes. :doh:

I searched back through past threads, and it seems to be linked to low end graphics cards that do not support pixel shader 1.1. These were old threads from 2006 so, I can't be sure that is what is happening now.

Yes, just their hands.........my graphics card may be the prblem, but they were there on a previous install......?? Thanks .....

That could be it .I had that happen when i tried to run sh3 on a low end laptop.

I have also this problem on my laptop. I've Intel 950 as graphic card, with the newest drivers (2008).

There is a way i.e. modifing Cameras.dat or whatever .dat file in order to have binoculars back?


Thanks for replies!
