Thing is Rick, this problem doesn't usually show up until I've done a replay at least six or more times. You've been very clear and I think I understand your points. Imagine rewinding to the beginning of a phase, pausing the game, seeing an opponent unit on the screen, but when you individually select every single friendly unit, that particular unit never shows up on screen. So then who is spotting it?

When I see it show up it's immediate. So, it seems that while part of what you are describing has been retained, other parts, of what you are seeing in PCK, have been changed in regards to Peek-A-Boo.

We'll see how it works for you now when you get PCO.

Good Hunting.

I may be making a bit much of this, and you're correct, I'll just have to wait until the new game comes out. If its still there I'll have to shrink and combine the screenshots. I really would dread posting 20+ shots just to prove it.

A simple description will probably suffice. Or perhaps just attaching the saved game. taking that many screenshots and shrinking would be pretty time-consuming and shouldn't be needed. I don't think it will be necessary for you to prove anything to any of us.

Thanks

I agree. I don't think you'll have to prove anything to us. If I understand what it is your describing it is still in the game to an extent.

Good Hunting.

It has been fixed. But HintJ you are right, there were literally tens to hundreds of bugs in PCK which would be easy to miss or put down to the user not understanding the mechanics of the game. They bugged me too so I fixed them. However I am no longer on the team and so can't be sure what the new development members are doing with the code now.
