I'm Confused...

<div class="IPBDescription">commander question</div> I can't see **obscenity** when I use the commanders ability to spot enemy units and buildings. I see buildings, but I NEVER see moving targets like fades (I can remember seeing them in the previous patch, but now I dont see anything, even if I know that they are moving).

I can no longer "hear" a hive when I bring the mouse over it. Is this a intended change in the patch or something? I can still hear gorges though, so I can still figure out where the Kharaa is building.

    Try building an observatory... also use your scanner over hives

    btw...the comsat-ish sweep thingie costs only 1 res. it has a great range and can help your offensive strats alot. i'm not sure about seeing moving units or not but i'm guessing the comm should only get to see alien units in the LOS of their marines only so the comm isn't that godlike.

    I'm not retarded. That's what I'm doing.

    What i'm trying to say is that i NEVER see alien units, even if I scan or have marines in the area. I used to see them before the patch, but now I don't see ANYTHING. I ONLY see alien structures.

    I see them all the time, mainly when they are above my marines. Perhaps it is a 1.03 patch thingy since most servers are still 1.02, I will have to check it out. Maybe it has to do with motion sensing tracking. I usually have observatory and motion sensing up pretty early in the game.

    P.s. I wasn't suggesting you were retarded only uneducated <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I am fairly certain that I have seen them on 1.03 servers.. I'll have to double check

    I have this problem too, occasionally. I can still see acid rockets and Lerk spikes and whatnot, but the aliens themselves are invisible.

    Yeah, it is kinda weird that one...

    Seems totally random to me. Sometimes I see aliens, sometimes I dont. Sometimes I see blue circles where the aliens should be, sometimes I dont. This is all regardless of whether I have motion tracking or not...

    Often I'll see my marines firing and shooting at crap but I wont see WHAT they are shooting at unless the are buildings (I can always see buildings if my marines can see em or if I scanner sweep. Scanner sweep never helps me spot aliens...)

    You see aliens only if some of your marines sees them.

    I can see aliens on 1.03, It is the same as before... If my marines can see them or they are right above my marines, I can see them... When I get motion tracking up I will start to get the Blue circles effect. Where you know theres an alien there just not sure what kind. Also I found if you move your camera overhead view just slightly sometimes you will lose sound, or sight of the aliens. I think this is because you are centered on an overhead rafter or whatnot...

    I've had five Skulks running through my base, with my whole team shooting them, and I still couldn't see the aliens for some reason. I'm positive my marines could see them. . . I can't reproduce this bug though.
