Weird little bug...

[Gyrosphinx]

I'm experiencing a small, annoying but not fatal little bug, my decals does not show up in game, not in single player nor in multiplayer. This also happened to me at the end of beta phase 1. Anyone who knows what this annoying little thing is?

Yes, it happened to me in editor too! You can only solve this but immproving the game graphics quality. not really sure, but try to immprove at least the textures.
I sloved mine by setting my editor to hight quality (It showed in-game for me because I used better graphics ingame already).

Well, my texture settings are at high already, but I'll check if adjusting anything will work Thanks comrade.

No problems commrade. Just try messing around with graphics settings, higher there are more chances that your decals will be back again.

Problem solved, simply changed my shader options from low to medium, the decals show now on every texture quality.

Keep in mind that some hardware configurations do not permit axcess to the ultra graphic levels. You should always make maps at the highest possible graphic settings, it is important cause a lot of people will be playing at those settings and you could seriously mess up the graphics unintentionally if you mod at lower settings.

For example the halo effect is only visible on high graphic settings. If you gave everything the halo it would look fine on low settings but ugly when someone plays at ultra.

Yeah... better upgrade my hardware then

I can confirm that certain elements do not show in low quality (nor in the editor, nor in game). Such are: Decals, foliage and any extra light effects that you add (eg messing with an items HDR multiplier to make darker/brighter, custom weather effects, night effects). Terrainers should keep in mind that their work seems pretty different when using low settings (pretty much what Dr. Super Good said, mod at the highest possible setting).

I had same issue during beta and now. Thanks guys! Also, speaking of small unfatal bugs, this isn't really a bug but ruined my expirience a bit. Watch marine shot air targets. Yuck!
