People arn't showing up. They arn't rendered, they're name isn't shown by pressing tab, and you can't hear them. I don't know how this happened, but I only noticed this on Vives after the naming convention change. So it may have something to do with the new Hak, or perhaps 1.61, which came at a similar time. Seperate, but similar, bug is that some monsters (And rarely PCs) do not get their model rendered, but can still be listened to and "seen", as they have a name-bar. Monster affected which I noticed was the Ilithids. All of them have this bug. I'm really not sure where the first one came from, I know the latter has been around for some time. -Barnas  Sug 80flavours.com Joined: 14 Apr 2003 Total Posts: 448 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 13 Jan 2004 06:03 PM yea i noticed this too.. Yesterday Legolas was obvious talking to someone, but i saw no-one when i passed him, not with tab or anything.. hmmm Sug.. "ehehehehe,.." Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.  dubya26 Joined: 29 Dec 2003 Total Posts: 53 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 13 Jan 2004 06:06 PM Someone couldnt see vandal today though I and others there could. So that only affected one person who had come from another area. The rest were already present. Current Characters - Worik the Wanderer, Joda Zod, and Kango.

If you know she is there well go through a transition solves the problems. Anoying though... Why search around when the answer is within you...?  Barnas Joined: 17 Aug 2003 Total Posts: 3322 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 14 Jan 2004 08:13 AM Aye. Relogging/Area swapping does fix the problem- if you know the person is there. The main problem is the RP which can fall out from you "ignoring" someone who you had -no- way of knowing was there in the first place. I almost fell of my chair when I found out that Vandle was right in front of me last evening... -Barnas  Vandle Savage Joined: 20 Sep 2003 Total Posts: 596 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 14 Jan 2004 09:08 AM Aye.

The main problem i have had is to be walking allong and then just start taking dammage for no reason (hitting tab would reveal i had a few invisible monsters after me). What you have to do then is run for a transition and go thorugh it which will cause it to reset and possibly make them visible. mannaka no ana ni sounyuu awari kana  Barnas Joined: 17 Aug 2003 Total Posts: 3322 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 14 Jan 2004 10:31 AM The second bug is slightly different; they don't even show a name when you hit tab. You can't heard them speak, either- I don't believe. -Barnas  Vandle Savage Joined: 20 Sep 2003 Total Posts: 596 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 14 Jan 2004 10:43 AM I've never been a victim of the bug. However, it's usually ME that people can't see.

I've experienced it a lot last night. This is especially bothersome if it happens somewhere in an area with monsters and you use are of effect spells. You can never know if you'll hit someone of your own party members.... Luther McIath: I see, so [X is] the right person in the wrong place with the wrong people at the wrong time. [Fictrix] ...

Now it seems as if they really couldn't see me. And one time, it was my group mate, who I was standing right next to. Also, it has happened when I could not see someone or their words on screen when they were speaking to me in halfling. So, just wanted to note that for you. Molo..... So a cleric, a ranger, and a thief walk into a bar, which one am I?  Vandle Savage Joined: 20 Sep 2003 Total Posts: 596 Send PM   Re: Invisible people/Monsters Posted: 16 Jan 2004 02:00 PM I found out something very deadly today. I was in Fiirkraag Pass and ALL of the giants were invisible. And since I couldn't attack, all I could do was take damage. I ran as if I was being chased by an aroused dwarf.

You say that like it's a bad thing.... ;P Seriosuly though, I was in a party two days ago in Fiirkrag, and the giants were fine. Looks to be a pretty intermittent thing. Hats off to Bioware!
