Artifact?
 

Hello all, long time no post. Could someone tell me what the two little grey / white boxes are in the smoke in this image? I saw this in game, it did go away, after the ship sank.

Thanks and thank you for all your hard work! :rock:

They could be health bars for lifeboats, but that's just a guess.

That's weird! Never saw that before :hmmm:

No, if you look closely at the right end of the picture, there is a lifeboat there, and it got no damage bar. It looks like the ship broke in two parts, and each part got its own bar :hmmm:

Yes, V13dweller is right.. it's lifeboat's HP-bar.. sometimes lifeboats get damaged by secondary ship's explosions and like all the other units HP-bar appears only after the damage.. lifeboat at the right hand just not damaged yet :)..

Huh.. Guess I'll have to open up on some life boats and see if I can recreate it. Thanks for the info! :salute:

it's better to disable the HP bar from gameplay menu :)

This happens only at the moment when lifeboats were spawned.. any guns are not able to damage them..

yes, now that you say it, this is the likely reason of that bars.
SH5 got us used to so many glitches that we see them even in the most innocuous game events :D

Yes, indeed :)

It is a very glitchy game, you all have made great strides in fixing it! You're work is appreciated!!

I see, well thank you again Volodya, appreciate the info.

Yes, get rid of those ugly damage bars!
