Wierd crew glitch when depthcharged

thefretmaster · 04-17-08, 03:48 PM

hey all. i searched for this but couldnt find any references.
when my boat gets hit by anything that causes the lights to flicker in the controll room, my crew ,look odd when the lights come back.
it looks like all the highlights on them have truned black so bits of them are like they have a solid black texture

anyone come across this?

Search for "black crew." I suspect this is not a game bug but a mod or graphics system problem.

I have had this happen many times, once you reload it goes away, I have asked about a fix for it on more than one occasion, but my question seems to always fall on deaf ears... maybe you will have better luck than I did, but as far as I know there is no fix

Have never seen that happen, but have to admit that whenever I get depthcharged I'm usually too busy to look at the crew. I just wonder why they don't turn red under red lights at night... do they glow?

I have had this once. I believe it has to do with your system. As John said, reload and all is fine. I ran into an issue once were I had no sky color at all. Quirky game for sure.

I have had this same thing happen to me. I had some hardware related issues with my system at the time though and havent had a chance to try it now that my comp is fixed. Exact same thing though, DC goes BOOM, lights flicker off then on and the crew textures are messed up with that solid black texture.
