How can I get my tactical battle graphics back?

from Elemental Forums


I have just let Steam verify my files and it claims all is well, and yet this persists for days now, I have entirely shut down my machine, restarted steam, restarted LH, reloaded games, and in all of my tactical battles, the units move and display their animations normally, but

- there are no graphics representing ranged missiles

- there are no graphics representing combat statuses, such as the effects of buffs or debuffs (e.g. no "haste" circles) or the little shields representing a unit defending.

I went through all of my options, and cannot find a way to deactivate these, much less reactivate them. What am I not understanding? Or is this again another bug?

Is your computer working fine otherwise?  Sometimes weird anomalies can be caused by problems with your system.  You can always post your debug files for the devs to look at.

Make sure that you have particle effects turned on in options. That's the only thing I can think of.

It's odd, i've never changed any of the settings, and have never had this problem before. I double-checked, and see that particle effects are on.... OK, well, thanks anyhow.
