    I'm unable to see unit icons when zoomed out, even if i set them to always on, metal spots are invisible as well. Anyone else having this problem and ideally have a workaround? Using fglrx on wheezy with a radeon 7780. This is obviously making it a bit inconvenient to start games since I have to zoom in to see where metal is, as well as making it a bit too easy to just lose units in trees.

    To be fair I'm don't think script will work for closed source drivers. :(

    Ooops. Yesterday when I see this message first time I'm read that "metal spots are visible" for some reason. :oops:

    Most likely you just have cinematic mode enabled.
    Go to UI tab in settinga and disable it, then everything will work. ;)

    I'm pretty sure it did for me. Also, I'm certain it was the proprietary driver I was using since I only tested open source one once (gave bad fps). Sadly don't have the card anymore so I can't verify.

    Anyway his problem doesn't related to drivers or Linux at all, I'm 99% sure he just have Cinematic mode enabled. I'm saying that because as long as I know metal spots indicators handled by particle system and they're not related to UI problems.

    Really weird. Then can you please say do you see N S pole letters and spawn point locations?

    Sorry about taking so long to reply. Yes I can see the pole indicators as well as spawn point locations. As far as I can tell everything draws fine aside from zoomed out unit icons and metal spots.

    EDIT: I just tried Ctrl+i and Ctrl+n as well to make sure that it wasn't toggled via hotkey at some point, still no luck.
