Mouseover unit info in 3642

Postby Col_Walter_Kurtz » 23 Jul 2015, 15:10

Did not see a report on this, apologies if I missed it.

Problem: The information (unit name, attributes) for units in the production queue does no longer pop up on mouseover.

For example: I have 4 inty, 1 bomber, 1 scout, 2 inty, 1 bomber, 1 scout, 5 inty in factory build queue. If I move the cursor over either one of these units it does no longer tell me what unit it is. The window that used to pop up has vanished entirely.

Patch 3642
Eco Manager v7 + common mod tools (compatible with 3641 / 3642)
Latest RAS notify v 3.7 (compatible with 3641 / 3642)

It's been reported but it should be fixed now. Logs?

Alright, I assumed logs would not help, because it's not a crash but simply something missing from the game.

It's possible there is nothing in the logs, but it's at least a start. Have you tried with all mods turned off? Is the problem all the time with all units, or just under specific scenarios?

I can confirm the problem is there with all mods disabled.

Is the problem all the time with all units, or just under specific scenarios? I can't reproduce your issue. And you're sure you're using the latest patch?

Can you attach your game.prefs too?

Problem is persistent with all factories (and selected units too, I discovered) regardless of the type of unit, factory or faction. Also happens when viewing others in replay. Maybe I have an old mod folder messing things up. Everything else should be 100% ok.

OK, so I read your post a bit more carefully, and you're actually talking about the factory's queue. I double-checked against vanilla FA, and the only thing that used to come up when hovering over those units was a tooltip with their unit type (e.g., engineer or light assault bot). Is this what you're talking about? Because it never brought up the unit detail window.

Correct, it concerns units in the production queue. And also units that are selected in a group.
