New surface contact not raising pop-up - 12/5/2017 10:41:12 PM

I have just detected a new contact (you can see it in the message log), but the game didn't pause or raise a pop-up.

Looking at the options 'New Ground Contact' is set to 'raise pop-up'.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Using the latest Steam build, but an old save game. At the top of the window it says 'Command 1.13 - Build 972.11' if that helps.

(Edit: I've also ticked 'New Weapon Contact' to 'raise pop-up' since taking this screenshot, just in case that could have been causing it.

I had a similar issue with contacts detected by allied units not raising popups:

Yeah it is allied detection. You can see those occurring in your screenshot.

I'm not really sure what to do with this as it could generate a ton in terms of satellites. It might actually be a better experience if you don't get all popups.<shrugs>

Ah, I didn't realise those were allied satellites (or that it didn't show allied detection).
Fair enough. Cheers!
