Topic: Overhead View Missing (Read 2632 times)

Hi, I had to start my campaign over again and upped the AI to commander. I noticed a few things that are different. The worst thing for me is that F1 will no longer give me an overhead view. All the other F keys work. Whats up with that? Is this a known bug? Another is that the video is now a little jerky and the sound sometimes repeats words. Once I got stuck on three words over and over. I could not Ctrl-Alt-Del, Alt-Esc, nothing! I had to hard boot. Just to make sure it wasn't my computer I started another campaign at the lowest level and everything was fine. Any explanations? Especially about the Overhead view, I have a heck of a time in 3D!

It's a bug, and I don't think it has anything to do with the difficulty level. I fix it by opening the options page and selecting the "F1 overhead view" button. That usually works for a while. Exiting the game and re-starting has also fixed it for me.

Thanks, I'll do that. Between this message and my last I had logged off and was working on the campaign. I had just got to the first Unity Base mission and Picard was explaining away and then he got stuck on "provide a base" over and over and over. Once again the only solution appears to be a hard boot. What should I do? Shelve this game awhile until its ready for prime time or is there a fix for this. Its going to take about a century to do the campaign at this rate.

Alright, I give up for now. I have to work the next four days anyway. I'll check back in a few days.
