since today after the patch and the game "forcing" a new driver or it wont start, i have this issue, that the graphic effects of the photon grenade is completly gone.

meaning the grenade itself and the explosion effect is not visible anymore while using this skill.

anyone else got this problem ?

what i dont understand is, the game was running fine with my old drivers. why is the game now forcing me tio use new ones ?

i also already tried several configs in the graphic options.. turning details down etc. ... nothing works.

    I was just coming to the forums to see if anyone else had this issue. Seems specific to photon grenades at the moment as my plasma's seem to show up fine

    Same problem although its happening to plasmas too. Also the flame graphic effect they create tends to disappear then re-appear sometimes as well.

    I noticed this; the flying through the air grenades no longer show up, nor does the explosion (other than the obvious effect of BO's getting floored).

    Doesn't matter what kind. Photon, plasma, stun. They're all bloody invisible.

    Same. I also just did a clean install of windows with appropriate updates to it and lates drivers for my video and sound. Glad to see it's not just me with this.

    All grenades here except for stun are missing the in air animation, explosion animation and detonation sound effect. :( On the plus side, there much more useful in PvP since its near impossible to evade them now ;)
    Dunno if its related in any way but also after this most recent patch ground weapons fire sound cuts in and out.

    Edit: Spelling lol

    in addition, after some longer fights on the ground, phaser beams shot at me and my away team are getting stuck on us.
    so they get pulled through the complete level until mision is finished. thats more annoying than those missing grenades.
    seems to be mostly happen in interiors.

    This actually happened to me before the patch (the phaser beams being stuck on me and the BO's through out the level), so don't think it was due to this patch. However, it has only happened to me twice. First time was about 2 weeks ago. Then again this morning doing the Badlands mission.

    I've had that almost constantly since I started in open beta. It gets really annoying when you are killed multiple times, so you have dozens of pulses and beams sticking out of you, that tends to slow down the FPS a bit. I've filed several bug reports about it, yet it still hasn't been fixed.

    In case there's some of you who haven't seen the other thread (in the Gameplay Bugs section) on this issue. Read this:

    As of Feb 26th patch "In flight" graphic animation IS working, however the actual explosion effect and sound is still missing. :(
