[BUG] Units randomly become visible even when covered by Fog of War

from Elemental Forums

Once in awhile, I get glimpses of units I shouldn't be able to see.  They appear, then fade out... then appear again seconds from it.

 

Here's the screenshot:

 

 

Here's my DXDiag:

It's not actually "random" units: It's units that you have seen before at some point, but are now suposed to be hidden. And they don't appear at random intervals: They appear whenever one of your units moves. But I've seen this all the time myself, and highly suspect that the problem is on the game's end, as opposed to the computer's.

Same here, I see this happen, and as above, it is when my units are moving.

I, too, observe this regularly, although not only when my units are moving.  Much of it seems to occur at the periphery of the FOW - units will flicker in and out as the map is scrolled.  Looks like something is going on with the sight range varying.
