slysniper Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I Have not played with them in a game for a long time but just received two in a tournament game and when you look at them the models are missing the forks, but they do work at going through bocages. It also is set for June 44, I was thinking they were not available in june.Anyway, is it a bug or something that we are aware of.Also as I have moved around in the game, they did flash into view a few times, but just for a second.And no, I have no mods that are affecting them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOS:96B2P Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Same here. I can sometimes see the shadows of the forks on the M4 Sherman Rhinos but not the forks themselves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Just to confirm I have checked also and I have no mods loaded and I get same results. No forks showing, but oddly I can see fork shadows....Not a major issue I guess as still works to get through hedges.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I found a similar problem with Panther tanks. Sometimes, the front cover for the tracks disappears, it doesn't look to me like it's to represent a historical variant, more like a bit of the graphics is missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 23, 2016 Author Share Posted January 23, 2016 I wonder if the vehicle pack might have been the cause to the problem. Because that is the only thing that has changed on my system likely since the last time I would have seen them correctly.Plus I bet I am seeing the shadow as a few of you also have mentioned, that would make sense.It sounds like this needs to get reported since no one has heard of it before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMac Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I have the same issue, and the Rhino forks are missing...I do see them very briefly during Scenario start, but disappear.It Could possibly be the different types of Graphics Cards ( Nvidia vs AMD )...Some players can see the forks, but others can'tJoe 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing (I assume) in the same tournament / battle as slysniper, and I could have sworn that, during the setup phase, the forks were visible on the two Rhinos ... but from turn 1, the forks themselves disappear but the fork shadows (looks weird!) remain.The only difference I can think of so far is that when the forks were (?) visible the vehicle was on a setup-zone-coloured terrain tile; now they are on "normal" terrain tiles? Not sure why that would make a difference, though ... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because they were visible originally for me back when. Of course, I might be thinking about a old machine also. But I am pretty sure I have seen them on this system viewing just fine 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketman Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I'm not seeing them either, but has before. Nvidia here, updated drivers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Maybe it's a matter of graphics detail level. Try turning it up to max and see if they come back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I have graphics set to highest level = best and a nvidia card, no vehicle pack and patched to latest level, engine 3?Odd... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 I figured it out, rhinos are not available until jul 1, so whoever made this scenario had an intial date of at least jul1 in the data to select the rhinos, so they selected the rhinos, then at some point the date in the data got changed back to june30 causing the forks to disappear, I just replicated it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weapon2010 Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 actualy I didn't figure it out , just did a qb in jul 44, picked 2 rhinos, one fork was visible the other was not, its a defeinite bug, but whats causing it?I have no idea 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domfluff Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Assuming you're talking about the Drums of War Tournament, I has thought these were just concealed by the long grass... I'll have a look though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weapon2010 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 ok after a 2nd investigation the bug is only with the M4A3(75)W, all other Rhino variants are fine.The strange thing is on the M4A3(75)W only, you can see the forks at about level 7, but then they disappear below that, only being able to see the shadows of them 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domfluff Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Yup, looks like a LOD bug to me 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thanks guy, you are getting down to what the problem is.It now makes sense also, because I knew I had played a battle not too long ago with tanks that had forks so it now makes sense since they were another variant. Funny how something like this can be out there for awhile before someone spots it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Funny how something like this can be out there for awhile before someone spots it.Probably because they are used in so few scenarios, not even in any of the ones that come with the game, if I rememeber right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFF Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 Probably because they are used in so few scenarios, not even in any of the ones that come with the game, if I rememeber right.There are stock scenarios that use them (e.g., Busting the Bocage ). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulletpoint Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) There are stock scenarios that use them (e.g., Busting the Bocage ). Right, that was one of the first scenarios I played actually. A while ago now. I remembered it as something I had downloaded. But anyway, that's one scenario. I can't remember any others.

Lt Bull Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) This thread is very LOL...everyone, like me, noticing here because of DOW Tourney Rd1 scenario...it's incredible a bug as obvious as this has remained undetected for so long :/ Edited January 27, 2016 by Lt Bull 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
