Cpl Steiner Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Has anyone else noticed this problem? When I give a unit an order to move, my cursor shows the new "future action spot" graphic at the end of the movement line. However, when I move this cursor around so that the future position travels across the map a few tiles, the ground appears to "warp" - i.e. move up or down a tiny fraction - when the cursor is moved onto a tile and when it is moved off again. Although this is the least of my worries compared to other more pressing issues (performance problems) I would like to know if this is how it is for everyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Same here, some graphic glitching but its barely noticable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandur Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 noticed that too in sloped terrain but probably its there for a reason and it doesnt bother me at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 This isn't a "problem" as such, but an inavoidable effect of how terrain is visually represented at a distance. What happens is that terrain at a distance is displayed in a lower "resolution" than terrain close up. This is needed to make the game run on today's PCs. But the action spot calculation requires "high resolution terrain" to make sure that it's precise. Hence, when you move the "action spot marker" across the map and further into the distance, you can see some warping here and there (especially around slopes and the like) as the terrain calculation switches from "low" to "high". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CptWasp Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 I think I would like to have the action spot feature as an option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I wasn't really raising this as a problem - just wondering if it was common to everyone or some sort of weird nVidia driver thing. Thanks for the reply. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
