    Did you you try to press the spacebar of your keyboard ? It will alternate with the free view camera and hide Unit's icons.

    Yeah I have had this problem. Doesnt happen all the time. I thought It maybe is some mod I had but haven't been able to track down the source as it happens only on occasion and usually first run of the game on the day.

    Restarting and rejoining of the game is only way I been able to fix this.

    I'm definitely not in free view. And it's just units that I can't see. I can see building strategic icons just fine.

    Lately it's been happening every game. Really difficult to play.

    I'll try rejoining the game. Worth a shot.

    Try disabling any mod you have and see if that solves the problem. If it does, add 1 by 1 to see which one. If it happens every time it's much better you try solve it than me :D

    That's a different issue. Normally that has to do with loading. Wait, normally the game loads after a bit. Try re-connecting. Or, wait until the lobby loading indicator is green.

    I don't have any mods installed.

    Does it happen only on moving units but not on buildings or all units?
    Maybe you pressed Ctrl+I by accident.

    When it happens to me it's just moving units. I'm sure it's the same for Brian. I tried pressing cntrl I several times. The building icons do disappear and reappear though.

    For me it's all units. Moving or standing. Just units - not buildings.

    I'll try ctrl+I next time. Doubt it carries over between games and patches though.

    Restarting PA seems to fix it.

    I had the same problem yesterday, only on some of the opponents units (ships), and only on my own orbital units.
