Invisible units during combat

[SnakePlisskin]

I haven't seen this problem mentioned on the forums yet...

Sometimes during combat, my units do not show up when the screen zooms in. When this happens, the enemy units usually turn and fight the opposite way of the where my units should be. Then (assuming I win) when it zooms out, my unit moves from across the screen to its new postion (i.e. moves not from where it started from). It's almost as if my unit jumped across the screen and attacked from a distance. This happened mostly with tanks but that's mostly what I use to fight with...

As well, once the game got messed so when I zoomed in and out using the mouse scroll wheel, the camera didn't "rotate," it stayed in the overhead satellite style view even when fully zoomed in. I saved the game and quit to Windows, restarted and loaded thesaved game and everything was back to normal (i.e. camera tilt was working again).

Also once the game just quit and I was left at the Windows desktop.

I am using:

ATI Radeon X800 XT PT
P4 3.4 Ghz (Northwood)
1 GB Ram

Happened with me too, with tanks. Also, Gunships disapear sometimes. It's quite annoying, because once an enemy gunship took 3 works right under my nose, and I couldn't even see where the enemy was.

I had archers and axemen dissapearing. The two guys in the back were gone, but besides that everything in the fight went normally. It was funny to see their units keeling over from an invisible enemy though.

same here. i could see my front warrior but the back 2 were invisible.

p.s. you dont have to quit the game to fix the camera tilt. just hit esc. on the keyboard. works for me at least

Yep, I've seen this too... I mentioned it in my posting in the "Post your DXLogs" section... What civ were you playing? I've only seen it happen with the Japanese, just curious to see if it is more than that....

I saw it first as the Russians. I haven't seen it since but I'm only on my third game now (as Aztec). RealLife(tm) getting in the way and all...

OK, just curious as to whether it was a general or specific problem... General it is...
