    Don't know if this tech is available yet but might be worth a look if you don't want to get a new laptop. Currently uses thunderbolt connector tho.

    It literally only replaces the battleship model and adjusts its animation tree, it won't look any different and it won't do anything except potentially fix this bug.

    Just try it, please.

    This is just a little explanation on how mods work in PA. There are two types, client mods and server mods.

    The client mods can alter the appearance of the game or the controls. So you make tanks look like unicorns, but it's just appearance. If you play on-line, the other player would still just see tanks. You can install as many client mods as you like and you'll still be able to play on-line (including ranked games).

    The other mods are server mods. These change gameplay itself, such as giving the tank 10000 health. These will only be active if you host a game yourself. Everybody joining that game will automatically get the same server mod, so everybody has the same advantage/disadvantages. So with these mods you also safely can play on-line.

    Anyway, bottom line is that you can always play on-line, no matter what mods you install. It will also be very interesting to see if @KillerKiwiJuice's mod will fix your issue. That would be great, so please report back.

    ok, so it will allow me to see mine and my enemies/allies leviathan?

    Will it cause any slowdown you think? I know its a really small change, but still.

    trust me, it will only fix the problem, no side effects or anything. That is, if it does fix it in the first place.

    When you get the chance, boot up PA and start a single player game with sandbox on and then press Alf-f2 to make an avatar factory, then make a leviathan. Report back after that :)

    You can find Pamm here. https://forums.uberent.com/threads/pa-mod-manager-pamm-cross-platform.59992/

    and yeah with the ui mods/client mods you can pretty much run anything and you can join any multiplayer games (if its a ui mod the changes will only show on your end.)

    EDIT:

    I have Leviathanitus - inability to see large naval-ships while experiencing hallucinations of naval turrets being in the ground surrounding the victim.

    Just to put this info here as well for other people with the same issue: The mod does indeed fix the invisible Leviathan issue.

    Awesome work, @KillerKiwiJuice !

    I just bought AMD R7 370 to replace my old NV 460GTX.
    And I don't see any problem.

    I could buy NV 750 GTX, but I think the AMD R7 370 is better. :)
