Unit formations not showing in OOB - 1/26/2016 1:23:27 PM

I'm having a problem the unit formations don't show up in the OOB screen. This makes organising very tedious, as I have to back to the map every time to see if units have their full TOE complements or what's in them. I've tried clean reinstalled a couple of times and it still doesn't work. My playing partner doesn't have the same problem. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on, or how/whether I can fix it?
I have a screenshot, but I can't figure out how to add it. It won't paste or drag and the format is not supported.

I checked your report and you are correct. I sent an email to Vic with screenshots.

I just saw the picture and realized I am having the same problem...it only happens sometimes and only with certain units....so some show the graphics and some don't but I have not figured out any pattern. One turn they will show and the next they will not. Sometimes the same turn if I close and reopen the OOB.

If a unit does not have a template applied it views normally on the OOB screen.

I put it on my to-do list for the next patch.

The current beta batch is almost through the publishers procedures and available for both Matrix and Steam game variants.

Best wishes,
Vic

Another TOE problem that I noticed in the editor. Import the models and set a unit to a model type. It will assign the unit a name, like 4th Infantry Division. If you change the "short name" in the "change model" window, say from 4 to 20, the number on the unit changes, but the name doesn't. It is still 4th Infantry Division, and not 20th Infantry Division. So, if your making a historical scenario, you have to manually change the name of each unit. Could this be automated?
