graphical issue: unit stats refresh doesn't work

[DarthCycle]

I've been having this problem for a while now, and I cannot identify the source of the problem.

The behavior: from time to time, the detailed unit statistics (in the lower left part of the UI) which shows the various modifiers to the unit you currently have a mouseover, get "stucks". Meaning it doesn't refresh anymore and shows the same information regardless of the unit chosen. This happens almost systematically when I chosen a group of workers.

My current fix: I notice that when I alt-tab out of the game and go back in, it forces a refresh of the UI, effectively getting rid of the incorrect information.

However, it is annoying. Has anyone else experience this problem and found a real fix?

I have a P4 3GHz on WinXP, 2 Gig Ram and a GeForce 7800GS with 256 video ram using the latest ForceWare driver 93.71 (November 2 2006)

would be nice if it refreshed everytime you hit Next Turn

It's a known issue with the PLE mod's effects. You can clear it by mousing over something which generates the same type of tooltip - a unit, promotion, unit action button or whatever - as the information which is stuck.

yeah you don't need to alt tab

well its lucky that the PLE is being removed, isn't it?

 

[Sureshot]

Whats being removed? not the filters for units is it? cause the filters adn different ways of arranging them is vital

 

[loki1232]

Oh never mind. I thought you meant the unit statistics which came as part of the package. Those are leaving.

 

[Sureshot]

oh, i can deal with that heh, it messes up too often and is too big to be useful to me, but those filters and rearrangements, and the indicators of if a unit has leveled, moved, attacked, taken damage, are all incredibly useful, i cant imagine playing without those now heh

I'm not sure, because I don't know any python, but is this guy describing a potential fix for this bug?

the unit staticstics are fun, but the little buttons that let you sort your units, in a mod like this they're super useful, it would be hard to go back and deal without them

I've tried this and it works perfectly. Thank you, you're saving me a lot of alt-tabing
