Anyone have transparent heads with 1.2?

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.

I have been getting it since I got the game. Was really hoping 1.2 would fix it. Maybe 1.3 will. sigh. I think I would rather deal with it than turn off evironmental effects.

Environmental Effects produces only very little transparency on deck crew, hardly noticeably. Volumetric Fog do more transparency on deck crew.

A good mission to test this out is the quick mission "Against all Odds", because it has volumetric fog right from the start. This bug affected all deck crews, also the ones on ships.

Yesterday evening I have experiment with this fault and gave the fog a red color through the volumetric fog shader. Transparency appears when the pixel color of the fog texture overlap the pixel color of a crew skin but not if it overlap the pixel color of the sub skin. So this might have it source in the material property of the models.

Sounds like you are onto something Seeadler.

I was thinking this was implemented to maintain FPS.
