The Krynn gave me some ships- and they're invisible?

from GalCiv2 Forums
I can't see the ships in any view, but I can select them.  They were a gift.  Bug?

Yes its a bug, I get invisible ships from time to time to, not necessarily as gifts either, just sometimes they're invisible. Usually fine when I restart the game.

Does the A.I. see them? It could be a benefit!

Its the new stealth feature added in 1.6. Push ctrl/f13 to shut it off.

I used them against the AI and they worked but it is HARD to find invisible ships on the map!

I hate bugs like this... how do they get introduced? Astounding.

So waiting for v2.0 huh?

There's another OLD problem in the game that I'm amazed still was not fixed... the blinking WHITE frame in the YOR neutral animation/movie. I had to delete that single frame and re-smack that animation file. My point is, that one is over two years old, annoying as hell, and no one's ever taken the time to fix it?

Ok...

Well it got worse now... about half of the other race's ships are invisible. Small and tiny hulls... not sure if medium hulls are too though. This is horrible!

If you're having invisible ship issues, please post your debug.errs.

I emailed Cari a savegame. Do you mean the err that's in the main galciv folder? Or... is there only one and looking for another is a waste of time?

No, you'll want to grab the one from My Documents\My Games\GC2TwilightArnor. Make sure you do so right after seeing invisible ships in a game.

So we shouldn't send you the file until we've seen the invisible ships?

I don't think you're gonna get a lot of files. ;p
