I get people once and awile saying they cant see any icons. I have never had the problem. Nor has most of the people in my arena.  Is there anyway to get rid of this bug.  I have tried re-downloading everything, including AH from scratch.

Does this happen reguardless of what terrain map you are using or is it happening only with a certain terrain.

Is it your terrain map or someone elses because.

If for example:  you had my Survive terrain, and then I had made changes to it without renaming it, and then I hosted a game and you joined with the different version ( in this case the older version ) you'll have problems.

Thats why terrain names need to be changed if you update them.
Thats why you may see Badlnd1, Badlnd1a, Badlnd1b all are basically the same terrain but with minor changes.


What you could do if you join someone hosting a game using this problem terrain is to quit the host, delete the terrain and then join the host again so that you'll end up downloading the host version.

the people playing your games need to delete the old version and re-enter your game. this will fix it. also make sure you have 3 Hq's and at least 1 feild for each of the 3 sides.
