Yes, and thanks. I see that ht issue is named "hover on build queue". The problem also applies to hover on a selection of any units, as described earlier in this thread. Just making sure it's clear.

True, but nothing we can do in this thread anymore. Except revive it when next patches don't contain a solution. Because I really need this function to come back. I keep clicking shield boats when I want cruisers and other dumb mistakes in the queue.

Thanks, it's not exactly "solved" though

Thanks man. So that means they positively broke something in last patch.

And I too agree that it was a useful feature, I don't recognize all the unit symbols.

Could someone of the technical team perhaps put this in Github to fix? No idea how that works.

(screenshot didn't take the mouse cursor for some reason, but in bot case it was over the queued unit).

same happend when you select a group of units

You're not the only one and I was just about to post a message when I saw your post.

To check I was not going crazy, I launched Steam FA, and hovering over units in build queues and groups showed the unit type.

I actually find it rather annoying that it's gone. It was a really usefull feature, especially when you want to play a faction you're not used to, and recognising an interceptor from a bomber just by the look of its icon is not that obvious.

edit: and it did happened right after one of the very last patches. I noticed straight away because I always check my groups' composition that way. (often playing on the TV from a distance, and I find it easier to read the info bubles to be sure what I select)

Just to confirm: does anyone still get a popup window when mousing over units that are selected, or units in production queue? I need to know if it's something on my side or something that was bugged by the patches. If it is the first, I will try re-install etc.

Actually, I believe he is correct in that there is a regression. There used to be a tooltip which came up next to your cursor giving you the unit type when hovering over a unit's icon. This was separate from the unit detail window which shows on the lower left. Whether it's worth fixing is another matter.

This never functioned like you want it to.

I suggest you make a thread under suggestions
