Special Effects Gone

[Althavis]

Good Day, Warchiefs,

Have any of you encountered problems in the WE were special effects are not displayed; they are simply gone....

For context, I have map which I made around 2024, I usually edit it from time to time, this time I noticed that the special effects for custom abilities are not shown, even custom abilities which uses default effects.

I made a similar comment in the thread below, were certain Special Effects are not displayed even with the test map.

Starforce v1.1

Thank you!


Edit:

Most if not all of the 'invisible' Special Effects were made via trigger like below

• This is getting confusing, triggered special effects made from the past few days via the same laptop/WE version, etc. works
• What does not works are the ones created some time ago (different version and laptop)
• Most of them are Special Effects created on POINT

Could try restarting computer via the restart option. Sometimes something happens that causes special effects not to be shown and restarting fixes that.

Are you on the highest graphics settings? Some art FX work on low, others on medium or high settings. Could give it a try.
Does it happen on your map specifically or even on the example map the spell's been made on?
What game version are you using?
Does saving the older version maps on the newer/newest patch(es) make the FX show?
Could be a hardware incompatibility issue as well if it worked on a different computer.
Also, make sure the FX doesn't use a texture that had its pathing changed in newer patches.

I'll try this, thank you!

The default earlier has the graphics at low and I tried setting it to high.
It happened on the sample map of the spell too. I'm currently at the latest patch 2.0.4.23452.

I'll try checking with the old versions, luckily, I have some in the drive. Thank you!


I have check with some other map of mine and most special effects works (maps not save on the current laptop). Though, after a while I have noticed that all SFX that does not show have been made to display on a point. The SFXs works when attaching it to a unit.
My temporary fix for now is to create a dummy unit with attachment point and attach the special effect, it currently works.


Thank you @Duckfarter and @deepstrasz
I'll be trying all your suggestions later, after some sleep hehe.


EDIT:
1. In my other maps (saved with older versions/old laptop) Special Effects via Point are also not shown.
