No Visible Ranged Attackes

from Elemental Forums

In the pre day-0 release no ranged attacks (ie. fireball or arrows) are visible when shot/launched.  Any damage is shown but the attack is invisible.

(Win7 64-bit, Nvidia GTX 470.)

If you need more information, please ask.

 Thanks for a great game.

 

ps.  If I was playing a FPS an invisible ranged attack would be great ... ;-)

It sometimes happens to me. Some fireballs are invisible, some are not. Don't know when exactly they decide to show up or not.

I have same issues, none of the spells are showing anything, lighting ice shard, arrows etc.

For me it's hit or miss.  Sometimes fireball is visible, sometimes not.

Though blizzard (or whatever that area effect snow spell is called) is displayed visually always.

Happens sometimes with missles and fireball.

I noticed this playing last night too.

The first fireball attack from my Sovereign would always be invisible, after that they'd show up fine. Except for the occasional one that seemed to originate from way off the tactical map, so the camera would auto pan and zoom and you'd see the fireball come from a far corner of the tactical grid - but it still got to its target :)

It happens to me after alt+tabing the game. Restarting it brings those effects back.

After the 1.05 release now sometimes I see all the ranged attacks.  Other times I see none.  I guess I'll play with video settings.
