    Sometime invisible ground weapons, occasionally "dual-wield" after switching weapons (both of weapons visible together). Yes and yesterday invisible borg drone on Defera.

    I'm having the same problem. No weapons visible on ground missions and no torpedo effects on space missions. I was hoping one of the patches last week would fix it, but no such luck. I've been thinking about uninstalling/reinstalling the game client to see if that fixes it but would rather not deal with all that if I don't have to. Has anyone else found a fix for this issue?

    I have the same problem, since season 10 arrived, cant see any ground weapons, cant see my cannons in space nor torpedos, in pvp is problem i cant see warp plasma, shield healings from tss, only weapons i can see both ground and space are beams, they are visible, but im not sure if it is visible all the time.
    I've tryed all possible combinations in graphic/display settings, nothing work.

    I have the same problem here, I can't see the real transportation effect and Tyken's rift, The Singularity and the torpedoes, just If I look my ship and character closely I can see the weapon or the torpedo in space. That's annoying, it needs to be fixed!:mad:

    ^^^ yeah, all this and more...

    My Fleet amp warp core active (engine capacitor) ability used to dislodge itself
    from my tray occasionally, but after s10, it can't be found in the available skills ui either.
    Happens every map change. Abilities from other core's work just fine.

    And then there's that 1 frame per 4 second thing...

    And although probably more "realistic" without them, I do miss my warp trails...

    I do dig that purple splash screen though!

    same here, sometimes i see a long beam, sometimes i just see some green spots and sometimes i just see the damage counter, in space i can see engine trails and even for a blink of an eye the plasma release clouds but just if i stay in the nearest view zooming out or turning the view makes them invisible, the only stady info for weapons is the damage counter.

    In both areas the scan visual effect is broken too, sometimes i can see the beginning but the more important beam that shows the direction is invisible.

    hope that will be fixed soon

    anyone know if this has even been looked into? ever since the season 10 install my ground weapons simply don't show unless I scroll point blank up against my character. I've sent in quite a few in game bug reports but I really don't think anyone is taking it seriously.

    Same with my space weapons such as torpedos and torpedo skills. I am unable to determine if this is just a visual issue or if my torpedos actually are not hitting anything.

    not sure what else to do.

    in the last few release notes under known issues this problem is not listed,so they may not know about it yet. don't the devs read these threads?

    I have same problem with ground and space weapons. Ground weapons are invisible, and like space weapons I can not see them open fire.

    this is BS! apparently there's no fix AGAIN today.they are going to lose players over this if nothing's done.

    Still not in "known issues" list, so devs probably dont know yet for this graphic problem, or pretend that dont know.

    Great gamer god forbid unless it has to do with their precious t6 ships not looking right with some extremely obscure texture glitch or even worse, delve into their cash cow lock boxes it gets fixed, look how long it took for them to even get into fixing the KDF on the pvp boards issues.

    I mean really, unless this bug somehow hits 90+ percent of the player base it's not even worth looking into?, sad:(

    ranting because I believe this bug also affected one of the missions I was just doing. the only way I could see the iconian symbols was to turn my camera angle to be almost right on top of them. I forget the name of the mission offhand, the one where you used to get the obelisk ship.

    Having the same 'invisible' issue. Only time I can see my ground weapon is if I have the camera angle a certain way. As soon as I move...POOF...it's MIA again.


    Torps, turrets, cannons are invisible, beams sporadic. Eject warp plasma is also invisible.


    Scanning for anything, ground or space, impossible. You might see a short pulse of blue or orange but not long enough to do anything.

    Still having the problem too. I haven't gotten around to uninstalling/reinstalling the game because I'm just not optimistic it'll fix it, and nervous it'll break something else.

    It's weird. I have a positively ancient computer and an unimpressive video card, but don't have any of the connection, lag, and app crashing issues a lot of people talk about. But suddenly these particular things just don't exist in the game anymore. And they're not even things that it would make sense for Season 10 to break. New sector space? Works great. Personal weapons? Apparently have their own cloaking devices now.

    bump da thread have same TRIBBLE very annoying

    also problem with binkw32.dll which freezes the game after in game video played
  • kittyflofykittyflofy Member Posts: 1,004 Arc User
    It is a known issue. Already happened time ago, in season 9 if i recall. It is a problem of the game engine. It cant handle so many stuff at once. Cryptic temporaly fixed it but not entirely (i started to experience this again since about 3 months ago) and the problem keeps poping up when a lot of stuff is going on. Cryptic will fix it when it reaches critical status, and the game become unplayable. Until then, fingers crossed.

    Also be aware that a lot of players really dont care about not seeing their weapons in space (they dont pay attention or they just doesnt care as it seems) so we could wait a lot of time. As i said this is happening since.. well, almost always in major or minor measure. But hopes up. For now the issue is not too noticeable (at least in my end) but it will keep getting worst, until then lets more people post here their experiences.
