[Bug] [0.952] Grain/material overlay sometimes dissapearing

from Elemental Forums

Hi there, just wanted to notice, even though I love the way it looks when I can see grain/material/Essence on the overland map, it doesn't always work, I usually have several tiles on the map not showing this until I hove over them, don't think it persists through a save though.

Most tiles around the selected tile where buildable, but didn't show anything.

I think this one is older, since .950

I have noticed - and some posts talk about it as well - that building an outpost can reveal some tiles to be buildable that weren't before.

I have never thought to check whether they would have shown as buildable before like in your screenshot.

bump, forgot to put it in fe support.

Old, but we should keep remembering to repost them once in a while, so the devs won't forget :D

I think it has something to do with quests or losing battles.

I am not familiar with this concept.. losing battles, what this? xD

I just discovered the area, so I have no idea, it seems to appear randomly, before doing quests, before battles have commenced in the areas effected, but I might be wrong.
You seem pretty keen on how FE works.

Weird bug !   Funny you should mention it, because I just had this bug appear in a game I am playing now.  The Tile Yields disappeared in three tiles (only 3) of a cluster of five, when my Sov rode across them, from the SouthEast, to the NorthWest, after I fought a battle on one of the tiles.  (Strangely, the tile yields only disappeared in the three tiles which included essence.  The two tiles which did not include essence were not affected.)  The missing Tile Yields did not reappear, when my Sov rode back, from the NW to the SE.  I thought I had lost them for good ...  >:(     BUT, then after I rode further SE, out of view, and then rode back NW, all of the yields reappeared, when the tiles came back into view !

 

Weird bug ! ... anyways, as Kongdej says, it is worthwhile to remind the Devs of bugs (even silly bugs) like these ...

They also disappear completely if you control-N to create a new world enough times. Will also disappear if you save-scum too many times in a row.

Yes, I am seeing this almost immediately after Ctrl-N and starting a fight in the new map.

Well, they don't seem to disappear as long as I station a unit where they can see them. Now that I know the actual yields persist and I can track them (painfully) with mouseovers, my heroes can do more useful stuff.

Oh, 0.952

I was save-relogging to get an idea of hero abillites choices on level-up and reasons behind that. Definitely encountered this bug very fast from that point. Also got some sweet missing water issues when doing that. Asides from that I found that the health trait "Adventures Boon" shows up way too much for it to be rare... But that's not news.

This bug doesn't only happen on reload.  I have had it when I had started the sovereign in the same session (and I do not save/restore except when I turn the game off)

I never save restore except for crashes or complete idiotic moves either (Idiotic moves counts as sometimes bears are very small and I never see them, or ... This hero versus The pyre of man, GO!) :)

This bug nearly cost me a sweet settlement. I nearly built on a 3-grain, 3-material tile when I scrolled over the exact same time but with 3-essence as well, and it was only two tiles away.
