Anyone have transparent heads with 1.2?

MarkShot · 04-18-07, 06:40 PM

On the bridge, I notice that I can see the waterline/horizon through the lookouts heads. Anyone else see this?

Feature or a bug?

Thanks.

From what I've read here, some do, some don't. I'm one of those who don't.

Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I think it has to do with ambient fog, even very light fog will make them see-through. Or did. I haven't noticed it yet in 1.2 but I might have just missed the fog patches.

If you have fog turned on you will get this.

I've seen it in 1.2.........it's gotta be a feature, either that or UBI is selling pirated versions of their own game :p

The only thing I spotted after 2 hours of play is the watchmen to the right of you on the bridge. You can see the horizon faintly through his head. I have the fog off and none of my crew faded at all. Other than that I have had no other issues.

I'm using a 6800 GS. I see the transparent crew heads on the watch tower. Turning off EE ends the transparency. Fog on or off makes no difference. I will probably leave the EE on as the see-thru heads aren't that big a deal.

I didnt see any the last two patrols, and this without fog, but with enviromental effects.

yeah it looks like this

Hit ESC, select GRAPHICS OPTIONS and uncheck VOLUMETRIC FOG. While you will nolonger have volumetric fog, your crew will nolonger become transparent.

Cheers.

Have you unchecked environmental effects? That got rid of the transparencies for me.
