Shield - Crystal - Now Opaque?

All,

Does anyone have any idea why my once mostly transparent crystal shield is now completely opaque?


Be well, people of CoH.

If you are referring to Elemental > Gem, then it looks opaque for me too. I don't know how it might have looked before, cause I have yet to mess around with the shields. lol

Edit: I see from the Wiki that it was definitely transparent before:

That's quite odd. I wonder if it's just somehow part of the geometry bug that will be fixed in i16 anyway. If not, then I dunno.

Might have changed when they "fixed" the clear glass on the SG base glass logo stands.

Was this fairly recently as well? I'm wondering if that's part of the current geometry bug as well.

Since we now have 2 separate unrelated objects losing transparency, I'm willing to bet it wasn't intentional.

Known issue, fixed in I16

Nothing to do with anything else, and entirely to do with trying to make the bloody thing use the fancy water shader for refraction.

Sweet. Thanks, BAB.

I'm really glad you posted on this Babs otherwise I would have never noticed this. I remember when I logged in one day and I saw that my white gem shield was basically like a big sheet of glass. Then it went back and I was asking people if they knew what happened. You'd think I was telling people I heard voices or something. XD I was starting to wonder if I'd actually seen it.
