    Because it wasn't too much of an annoyance until it started messing with my mods, it seems very large units are effected by it.

    Basically it just makes the leviathan or whatever other huge unit invisible and makes it's model appear in odd places, like as a nuke, or replacing a commander, or something weird like that.

    I was just going to say, we're having a tough time reproducing this one. It's been a known issue for a long time, but none of us have been able to determine the cause. We suspect it could be driver-related so any information of your setup would be handy as well.

    Okay, I can give a dxdiag. It happens pretty much every single time I build the leviathan, and apparently it might have to do with how many parts the leviathan has, or maybe just how large it is?

    I say this because I actually created a model of a megabot and the megabot has the exact same issue. Oooone moment for the dxdiag.

    Yeah, it's HD3000 (Sandy Bridge) laptop and with low RAM exactly like mine one. Driver report looks weird:
    Code:
              Card name: Microsoft Basic Display Adapter
           Manufacturer: (Standard display types)
              Chip type: Intel(R)Sandybridge Mobile Grap
    Driver File Version:  ()
       Driver Date/Size: , 0 bytes
    Care enough to try it with latest driver from Intel?
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23764

    Also any chance you have Linux on same laptop? Care to test here?

    PS: "Sandybridge Mobile Grap" make me laugh. :D

    I just got a TB hard drive for this computer that I put Windows 10 on, Linux is on my 600GB hardrive. Could I just not have any new drivers and just be using the ones that shipped with the card?

    Would be great if you can use it here just because I want to be sure it's now Windows only or not. Would test it on my laptop soon.

    Not really sure why you ever asking about that? Any details?

    Most of times drivers that Microsoft provide are really outdated so you can't use what's Windows install.

    Well okay, I'll try to update my drivers and see if it helps, I'm not entirely sure it will as I think it happened quite a bit even before I went OS hopping. I'll give it a try though! Besides, it could never hurt to update your drivers! x3

    I just have i3 CPU in my laptop too and what I think problem might be related to how Windows driver works when it's out of RAM. I totally sure that long time ago problem with Leviathan occur on other hardware too, but I unable reproduce it on other hardware/OS at moment.

    Oh Squishypon3 <3 - We always suggest keeping drivers up to date - even if they're only a few months out of date. :p
