    Hello, the stock mod for seeing other players' view doesn't seem to work. I get the check boxes but checking them in does nothing, even when mine's unchecked. The change control of army check boxes are the only ones to work. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Yes, everyone has this problem, apparently it only works if you run PA.exe with -devmode flag

    Okay I believe I found this; small regression that got introduced after the vision cheat was first written but before it got merged into our main development branch. Only so much time for QA, so it slipped by, sorry about that.

    Thankfully, the regression is client-side only. Will have the fix in for the next build, in the meantime for you more adventurous folks, it's a one-liner in live_game.js that you may be able to mod in yourselves temporarily. In the LiveGameViewModel definition of self.updatePlayerVisionFlag, change the check for if (!self.devMode()) to if (!self.devMode() && !self.cheatAllowChangeVision()). That's all I changed on my end, and it looks like that's all it took for the checkbox to work again.
