Spotting?

Post by Mewshkin »

The spotting range of all units is 0km (unless I check enhanced spotting, in which case they all have 4km spotting).

Are you looking at spotting or precision spotting? Latter is for detecting spies/submarines IIRC. I'm seeing regular spotting (enhanced off) of ~20-35km, at least with a quick skim through misc. Sov. Tanks, infantry etc.

That's strange I do not see any unit with such low spotting values
Could you randomly name some of them that this is happening
Also, is this campaign, scenario or sandbox?

I see no problem with spotting values anywhere (i always play with enhanced spotting and ranges off).
I'm thinking you were looking at precision spotting or something.

It's literally every unit, and not just a reporting error, I can't see any more of the map if I send a ship or plane on a sortie. Both normal and precision spotting are 0km. My spotting.csv is present and seemingly correct.
Both campaign and sandbox mode are affected.

Just tried using artmoney to look at individual units spotting values, they're definitely there and matching what default.unit says they should be.

corrupt install? Your the only one who has reported any issues with spotting. check for updates or reinstall? ( latest version is 7.0.50 don't know what it fixed though)

Where did you get it from. May be a problem with your source copy.

Mmm, starting to worry. Tried reinstalling, no joy. Game updates to 7.0.1 after install - and update page says that is the most recent version.
The game was suspiciously cheap from a vendor I've not used before, Coolshop? I fear I may have been sold a lemon.

... where did you find a boxed copy?

The digital download versions already have a fix for that. Update should be out soon to get everyone at the same version. Please stand by...

Standing by... I've got an Open University assignment due this week that I need to be seriously distracted from.

I have a similar issue, in so much as I have noticed that every unit in my game has a spotting range of 4km, fairly sure this is a bug!
Much Thanks
