Carrier bug?

Post by HeJurmhoanni »

This is from drags wiew and you can clearly see that the carrier is out of sight of those marines and no scanning is going on but still the marines can shoot the carrier wth?! Look at the carriers health and game time from diff pics.

The marines are shooting the interceptors. No bug here. It's just the animation time in the first photo that makes it look like it shooting the carrier when in fact it's just that the interceptor moves SO fast compared to the marine shooting animation.

Look at the diff pictures. The carrier is losing health even when its on high ground and out of those marines LOS. I can post the rec too if you want.
EDIT: And how can the marines see the carrier?

ok i watched the game.
it was a bit weird that he could still hit your carrier after it was standing right above the cliff, but a little while later, one of his marines wallked up the ramp, giving him the LOS he needed to attack your carrier.

i have to revamp this, seems like there are some nasty graphic bugs.
yesterday in a game i could see the shadow of my friend placing a pylon in the middle of nowehree (i had no units there, but scouted the area before) and i heard the sound that you get when you place a pylon too.

i have no graphic bugs in the game nor any fps problems so this is definitely blizzards bug^^ it only happened once though

Did this happen in game or just replay? Replay bug not as big deal as a 'in game bug'
I know it's common for RTS's to have audio through fog of war if you're hovering where activity is happening. I wouldn't think it would be correct to see anything though.

what happens ingame is the same what happens in replay.
and no it is not common to hear what's going on in the fog of war lol it is a bug which needs to be fixed. i wasl ike wth when i saw his pylong going up.

that said i still have the replay, i didn't watch it, need to do so asap^^
