Hi, TACTICAL: I just played a real fun 5-way FFA and after not having played for good 2 weeks I wonder why the Tactical Icons Display is suddenly so selective. example (buildings): it displays my energy structures, really any T1 building T2 factories and production, but DOES NOT display nukes, anti-nukes, space factories... imagine how hard it is having to find your (anti-)nukes in the base, when it covers half of a 900 planet... example (units): it displays dox, but no ants! air units are fine (thank god), didn't try naval (desert planet)... workers all displayed... example (enemy): displays maybe 2 out of 4 other players...making it really hard to FIND an enemy, when you cant see the tactical icons...either it displays nothing tactically of an enemy, or it displays everything of it... either or... that made it really hard FINDING the enemy commander...! I cant understand how the tactical display can be so selective? planet wise the gfx were fine, I play uber (without anti-alias i think), but FINDING UNITS and ENEMIES is a pain in the back side, like that... CHAT: my chat is broken...! I cant use ENTER, nor SHIFT-ENTER to chat/team chat, or it just doesn't show for me... I CAN see if someone else chats though... quite a pity because I played with very nice beginners, I managed to snipe, and to overrun a few, ultimately not playing very good but still winning overall. it was really good fun and wanted to drop a GG, but as mentioned, it doesn't show for me... so to all players who played me today: GG!!! it was good fun!!! I wasn't trying to be rude
It's a known bug. Tactical icons don't always display – it's my least favorite but. Restart PA and that fixes it 9/10 times. Are you on a Mac? There's a known issue with the enter keybind not working. If you change the chat keybind to anything else, you'll be able to chat.
Hi thanks for replying okay that clears it up; indeed, a restart made the icons come up again in my next 2v2v2 (luckily due to my team partner, we brought that baby home), thanks for the hint. yep, mac-attack... thing is, the settings don't really let me replace any keys, at least thats the case for middle mouse button view... EDIT: YEAH! rebinding keys DID work, thanks! chat is so ON now rebinding middle mouse view still doesnt work for me though
Glad I could help. The keyboard shortcuts page is a bit screwed up. You have to type out the characters rather than just hit they keybind. For example, if you want shift+4 to be a keybind, you can't press shift and then 4. you have to type out "shift+4" in order for the keybind to work.
yep, I was aware of that but thnx anyways, writing it out might help someone else reading this... and it works for me like that too, just not that darn middle mouse button view; was "space" as default but whateverelse I bind it to, it just refuses to work; arrows make me dizzy in long games but its okay
