Large 32 flashing in GV sight
« on: July 23, 2010, 07:41:28 AM »
Not sure if it was from my system getting hot and tired from playing for a few hours with graphics maxed out or a bug, but on the Trinity map, there was a 30-45 second instance where I was looking through the sights (pos 2) and a large red 32 would flash up in place of my GV sight (Ammo count was 43 at the time). I did hit the Alt-R and recorded it and will send it in when I get home tonight.  :salute

A film probably won't help us but a screenshot would.

Will see if I can get it to recreate as it does not show gunsight in filmviewer. Will try catching it in fraps as it flashes pretty quick.  :salute
I was playing around offline to try to recreate it but no avail yet. I did notice that the offline drones (nme) are knights, my base is firing at them. When I change my country to knights, the drones are friendly and the bases quit attacking. Can still blow them up though. Is that a bug?

i tried to get a picture of it but to no avail,  it will not show up on the film viewer either it was in a m4 76  main gun, i got it to do it but did not have fraps on, it is a flicker anyway,, not a major problem, when i went back with fraps i could not re create!   sorry,,,  btw  the number 32 will pop up and change sizes as i look at different stuff,,, looking at trees mostly is when i noticed it, or close objects! base 155 of the pink arena right now is were it happened to me!

I noticed that yesterday offline when I was panning the zoomed sight of the 17Lb'r. It would flash a "32" momentarily over the top of the GV drone I was ranging as the sight passed across the GV drone. Would have been nice if that was the actual range of the drone. I thought it might have been HiTech tinkering with an offline auto range finder to help teach how to estimate range. Hope it is..... :)

I noticed the same thing WWhiskey is reporting. I was also in the M4 76 main gun, and the "32" would flicker on/off as I was panning the main gun left and right.
It was mostly a larger size, but on one or two instances it was more of a medium size. I had 47AP rounds at that time, so it definately wasn't an ammo count.
Can't think of any other details other than the tank I was in at the time.

Hope this helps.

Haven't been able to recreate it myself but at least now know it isn't just my computer.  :x

I caught it in Fraps offline in an M8 in Trinity. There are small #32 that flashes as well. Always the number 32

He's had a few more years - maybe the answer has changed?

I noticed this again last night in a panzer IV, and noticed that when I zoomed in, and then used the arrow pad keys to shift the view in/out, it was solid and not the flickering one i'd seen previously.

I caught it on film with FRAPS also but it look like you probably have enough info to find it.
If you like the Sick Puppy Custom Sound Pack the please consider contributing for future updates by sending a months dues to Hitech Creations for account "Chalenge." Every little bit helps.
